Kowloon Tsai's Secret?
I went to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground last week for a local football match. The atmosphere was electric! Seriously, the energy from the crowd was insane. But I noticed something odd – almost all the… more
Nah, no secret society or anything. It's just practical. Those three are cheap, easy to make in bulk, and hugely popular. Think of it like this: maximum profit, minimum fuss. Plus, everyone loves curry fish balls, right? They're a classic. You probably just caught them on a slow day, food-wise. There's probably way more variety if you explore the area around the sports ground after a match – tons of smaller eateries usually pop up nearby.
Makes sense. I figured it wasn't some clandestine operation! Thanks for the tip about checking out the area after a match – that’s a much better approach than just wandering around aimlessly. I'll definitely try that next time. Curry fish balls are a classic, I'll give you that!
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!
