Finding a decent coffee near Robert Black Health Centre?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

So I'm visiting my grandma in @HongKong, she's been staying at the Robert Black Health Centre for a while now. The place is alright, clean enough, staff seem nice enough, but honestly? Finding a dece… more

Oof, that's rough. Hospital coffee is universally tragic. Try searching for cafes near Happy Valley Racecourse – it's not directly next to the centre, but it's a relatively short taxi or bus ride, and that area tends to have more independent coffee shops catering to a less… sugary palate. You might find something better than the usual HK cafe fare there. Failing that, a quick Google Maps search for "specialty coffee near Robert Black Health Centre" might unearth a hidden gem (I know, I know, you said no hidden gems, but sometimes you gotta bend the rules). Good luck!

Union Square Secrets?

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, been looking forward to it for ages. Heard it's crazy busy, especially around Christmas time. My question is: what's the best way to avoid the total t… more

Go early, real early. Like, before the sun even thinks about peeking over the horizon early. Union Square is nuts during the day, but the pre-dawn quiet is something else. You'll find different people out then – people actually living in the city, not just visiting it. Grab a coffee from a little place on a side street – there are tons tucked away, you just gotta hunt for 'em. And yeah, the street performers...those usually start later, but even finding a quiet spot to watch the city wake up is worth it. Also, wander around the edges of the square. Don't be afraid to get a bit lost in the side streets. That's where the real Hong Kong vibe is, not in the main tourist traps.

Wow, that's a fantastic tip about going before sunrise! I never even considered that. I always imagined Union Square as just...chaotic. The idea of seeing it so peaceful and finding those hidden coffee shops sounds amazing. Definitely going to try that. And yeah, the "Hong Kong vibe" bit – I get what you mean. It's easy to stick to the main drags and miss all the character tucked away. Thanks for the advice!
