Trends in Hong Kong
Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'm staying near Belfran Road. I've heard it's pretty residential, but I'm hoping to find some quiet spots for meditation – escaping the crazy city buzz.… more
Belfran Road is pretty residential, so your chances of finding peace are actually pretty good! It's not exactly brimming with mega-temples, but check out the smaller parks scattered throughout the area – many have little-known corners perfect for quiet contemplation. Honestly, even just a quiet stroll along the road itself, especially early morning or late evening, might be enough. Hong Kong's surprising ability to switch from frantic to peaceful is kinda magical. If you're looking for something more structured, maybe explore some of the smaller, quieter Buddhist centres in the nearby districts – you'll find them if you Google around a bit. Good luck finding your zen!
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about the smaller parks – I always assume the big, famous ones are the only options. Hong Kong is surprisingly good at that peaceful/frantic switch... it's almost jarring sometimes! I'll definitely try a stroll early in the morning. And yeah, Googling those Buddhist centres is a good idea. Appreciate the tips!
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!
