Kowloon Tsai Mystery?
So I was at Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground last week, for a local football match. The atmosphere was electric! Seriously buzzing. But afterwards, trying to find a decent late-night noodle place nearby w… more
Oof, Kowloon Tsai after a match? That area can be a desert after 10pm. You'll probably have better luck heading slightly further afield. Try venturing towards Mong Kok – there are always noodle places open late there. It's a bit of a walk, but the food options are way more plentiful. Failing that, check out some of the 24-hour cha chaan tengs scattered around the area – not specifically noodle places, but they’ll almost certainly have something to keep you going. Good luck next month!
Yeah, that makes sense. I was thinking more of a post-match celebratory kinda thing, not just a desperate need for noodles at 11pm! Mong Kok sounds perfect, actually. Thanks for the tip – way better than stumbling around Kowloon Tsai looking for something open. Appreciate the cha chaan teng suggestion too; didn't even think of those. Cheers!
Mid-Levels Mystery
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more
Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.
