Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So, I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and I've been reading up on its industrial past – it used to be a major shipbuilding area, right? I'm fascinated by that history and was wondering if anyone kn… more

That's a great angle! Quarry Bay's industrial past is pretty cool. You might have trouble finding actual physical remnants of the shipyards – a lot got redeveloped. However, try exploring the waterfront areas near the Quarry Bay Park. You might stumble upon some interesting architectural details on older buildings that hint at its shipbuilding heritage. Think less "obvious landmark" and more "subtle clues" in the architecture. Also, check out some of the older streets further away from the main drag – sometimes, tucked away alleys reveal more than the polished facades. Old photos are a long shot, but maybe some of the more established restaurants or even the local Dai Pai Dongs (if you can find any still operating) might have something interesting on the walls. It's worth a look! Good luck with your atmospheric photography.

Dim Sum Dilemma?

So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more

Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
