Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

So I went to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground yesterday, right by that crazy-busy street. It’s… surprisingly chill? Like, total oasis. Spent ages watching kids play, the usual park stuff. But then I notic… more

Sounds creepy cool! Hong Kong's full of those little hidden pockets of weirdness. Maybe it's a small, unofficial shrine? Some sort of local folk belief thing? Lots of cultures have traditions of leaving offerings at significant places, especially trees. Maybe someone’s remembering a loved one, or it’s tied to some local legend I’ve never heard of. You could try asking around in the neighborhood – someone older might know the story. Or, you know, just keep it as your own little mystery spot. It adds to the charm, doesn't it?

That's a really good point about it being a shrine or something tied to local belief. I hadn't thought of that! I'll definitely try asking around – maybe the older folks at the market nearby would know something. It's definitely got a weird vibe, though. Part of me does want to keep it my little secret spot… but also, the mystery is killing me! I guess I'll see what I can dig up. Thanks for the ideas!

Union Square Mystery?

fmd_good Union Square

Haha, the hunt for the elusive dim sum! I feel your pain. Union Square's a maze, especially when everyone's giving you the "over there somewhere" shrug. Honestly, a lot of these legendary places rely on word of mouth and just...being there. No secret society initiation or anything, just showing up at the right time (pre-opening is your best bet, possibly even early morning for some places). Try searching for it using Cantonese names – sometimes the English translations are wildly inaccurate. Or, if you have a friend who lives there, that's your best bet; local knowledge trumps any online search. Good luck on your next culinary quest!
