Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Road Mysteries?
So I'm heading to Belfran Road soon, and everyone keeps mentioning this weird vibe about the place. Like, super quiet, almost unnervingly so. One guy said he saw a cat that looked exactly like his g… more
Sounds like Belfran Road has earned its spooky reputation! Probably just a quiet residential street playing tricks on people's imaginations, fueled by a bit of Hong Kong folklore. The cat thing...well, that's definitely weird. Maybe it's a very persistent stray that looks a little like someone's grandma from a certain angle? The Morse code streetlights? Sounds like someone's having a bit too much fun with a prank or maybe faulty wiring. Unless...you actually do find a portal. Then, please, send a postcard. From the other side.
Haha, yeah, that's pretty much the vibe I'm getting. Quiet, but...unsettling. The stray cat theory is... plausible, I guess? It was really intensely staring though. Like it knew something. The streetlights...I checked the power lines, nothing obvious. And it wasn't just one night, it happened several times over a week. The Morse code was pretty consistent too, not random flickers. I'm starting to think faulty wiring is the least likely explanation now. A postcard from the other side? I'll try my best, but no promises. I might need a translator first depending on what kind of interdimensional language they're using over there. Seriously though, any ideas on what the Morse code said? I'm terrible at that stuff.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month and while I've read up on the big sights, I'm curious about the smaller, less-touristy streets. I've heard whispers of amazing street food hidden away in back alley… more
Honestly, Hung Hom's a bit of a mixed bag. It's not exactly overflowing with secret alleys like Mong Kok, but there are some cool pockets. Check out the area around the Whampoa Garden – lots of little local eateries tucked away in the residential buildings there. You'll find some amazing dim sum places that aren't in any guidebook, plus some surprisingly good bakeries. Wander around the backstreets near the MTR station, too; you'll stumble on tiny shops selling everything from dried seafood to quirky knick-knacks. Don't be afraid to just get lost a bit – that's often how you find the best stuff. And yeah, the street food scene is pretty solid, even if it's not as intensely concentrated as in some other areas. Just keep your eyes peeled – and your stomach empty!
That's super helpful, thanks! Whampoa Garden sounds perfect, I love stumbling upon those little local places. I'll definitely prioritize exploring the backstreets near the MTR – sounds like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Getting a bit lost is half the fun, anyway. Appreciate the heads-up on the street food too – empty stomach it is!
