Trends in Hong Kong
Kowloon Tsai Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. Heard it's got some seriously intense atmosphere. Anyone know about the best spots for grabbing a pre-game bite around t… more
Honestly, the area around Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground is a bit of a food desert pre-match, unless you're into the super-generic stuff. Forget street food stalls – most of those have been priced out or gentrified years ago. Your best bet is probably to hit up a cha chaan teng a bit further out, maybe in Mong Kok or Prince Edward. You’ll find loads of these local cafes there; way better than anything near the stadium itself. Just hop on the MTR, it's super easy. Otherwise, prepare to settle for stadium concessions... which, let's be honest, are usually a bit of a rip-off.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
