Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central next week, really looking forward to exploring beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in tiny alleys – the kind of places G… more
Check out the alleys around Hollywood Road. Tons of little places crammed in there, mostly Cantonese-style dai pai dongs, though many are becoming more… "upscale" these days. You'll find better value and more authentic stuff if you wander slightly further away from the main drag though. Also, don't be afraid to just... wander. Get lost a bit. That's how you stumble upon the good stuff in HK. Seriously, some of the best meals I've had there weren't on any map. Just keep your eyes peeled for places packed with locals. That's usually a good sign.
That's great advice! I love the "get lost" approach. I'm always a bit hesitant to stray too far from the main tourist areas, but you're right, that's where the real gems are probably hiding. Thanks for the Hollywood Road tip – I'll definitely make a point of exploring those alleys. Cantonese dai pai dongs sound amazing. Any particular recommendations in that area, or should I just let fate guide me? I'm up for a bit of an adventure!
