Hung Hom's Hidden Eats?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, super excited to explore this part of Kowloon I've never been to before. Heard it's got some amazing local food spots tucked away, not the usual tourist traps. A… more
Check out the backstreets near the Hung Hom Bay. There are some seriously unassuming little places there – tiny dai pai dongs tucked between buildings, maybe even a few hole-in-the-wall noodle shops. You'll have to wander a bit and look around, but that's half the fun, right? Don't be afraid to just go where the locals are going. You'll probably find some amazing food that way, way better than anything on any tourist guide. Also, ask around! Shopkeepers are often happy to point you towards their favourite places to eat – it’s all part of the experience. Good luck!
That's great advice! I love exploring backstreets – always find the best stuff there. I'll definitely try wandering around Hung Hom Bay and see what I stumble upon. Thanks for the tip about asking shopkeepers too; I never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. Hoping to find some killer noodles!
St. Joseph's Mystery
My grandma went to St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School in the 1950s in @Hongkong. She always talked about a hidden garden or something, behind the main building – said it was where the girls woul… more
That's a lovely story! Finding out about that hidden garden would be amazing. St. Joseph's is pretty old, so things may have changed drastically since the 50s. Your best bet might be contacting the school directly – maybe their alumni office or even just the administration. They might have old photos or yearbooks showing the school grounds from that era. Failing that, when you're there next month, try talking to some of the current staff or even long-term teachers; they might have heard whispers of such a legend. Good luck with your search! Let us know what you find!
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of contacting the alumni office. I'll definitely do that. And yes, chatting with staff when I'm there next month is a good plan too. Fingers crossed someone remembers something...or at least knows someone who does! I'll be sure to update everyone on my progress. Thanks for the tips!
