Trends in Hong Kong
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!
Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across Belfran Road on Google Maps. It looks...quiet. Almost eerily so, given its location. The street view images are all a bit blurry and there's… more
Belfran Road? Huh. Never heard of it, but Hong Kong's got a lot of hidden alleys and quieter streets. Dim sum near there? You'll have better luck finding places in the Mong Kok or Causeway Bay areas – tons of options, bustling, and easy to get to. Seriously, you'll be spoiled for choice. As for spooky stories...Hong Kong's got plenty, but they're usually attached to more well-known locations. Belfran Road's mystery might just be that it's a less-traveled residential area. Maybe it's just...quiet. Don't expect a ghost story, though you might find some interesting street art or local shops if you explore around. Enjoy your dim sum!
Yeah, you're probably right. It's more of a "local's" road, I guess. I was hoping for something a bit more... thrilling, haha. But dim sum in Mong Kok sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip – I'll definitely check out that area. Maybe I'll find some decent street art while I'm at it. Appreciate the advice!
