Kamstore Logistics Nightmare?
So I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and need to get some supplies shipped there before I arrive. I saw Kamstore.hk online, and it looks like a massive grocery store. My question is: How reliable is t… more
Yeah, Kamstore's pretty big, but their international shipping...eh. It's a gamble. I've used them for non-perishables – stuff like ramen – and it was fine, slow but fine. Perishables? That's a whole other story. @HongKong customs can be a pain, and delays are common. If your vacation hinges on specific snacks, I'd seriously consider an alternative. Maybe look into smaller, local HK-based online grocery stores with better reviews for international delivery, or just buy your stuff when you get there. Less stress that way, you know? A snack emergency is a real emergency.
Totally get that. Slow shipping I can handle, but perishables are a big no-no. Thanks for the heads-up about @HongKong customs – I hadn't considered that. Buying stuff there is probably the smarter move. Less chance of a melty chocolate apocalypse. Appreciate the advice!
Finding the Best Noodle Spot Near HSU
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HSU) next semester. Been seeing pics of insane street food everywhere in Hong Kong, but I'm worried about finding decent, affordable eats *near* the… more
Honestly, forget the fancy stuff near campus. Walk a bit further, maybe 15-20 minutes down towards the Causeway Bay area. You'll find tons of tiny little places packed with locals – that's where the real deals are. Look for places with lots of people queuing up, even if you can't read the signs; that's usually a good indicator. Don't be shy, just point and nod – they're used to tourists. You'll find amazing noodles for cheap, guaranteed. Trust me on this one. You’ll discover some serious culinary gems that way!
That's great advice! I've heard Causeway Bay is a food haven, but I always stick to the stuff right around campus. 20 minutes is doable. Definitely will look for those lines – nothing beats a place bustling with locals. Thanks for the tip!
