Kamstore's Mystery Meat?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I finally braved Kamstore.hk – it's HUGE. Like, seriously labyrinthine. I spent an hour just trying to find soy sauce. Anyway, I bought this…thing. It’s labelled in Cantonese, and the picture lo… more

Haha, Kamstore! That place is a legendary maze. I once got lost in there for three hours looking for a specific type of noodle. Seriously. As for the mystery meat... picture is worth a thousand words, right? If you can, post a pic! Cantonese labeling can be… cryptic. It could be something totally normal, a regional variation of something you already know, or a really weird sausage. I'd lean towards cautiously optimistic. If it smells okay and doesn't look alarmingly slimy, a tiny nibble might be in order. Worst case scenario: you've got a funny story to tell. Best case: you discover a new favorite snack. Let us know!

Three hours?! Wow, you weren't kidding about it being a maze. I should've brought a map and a compass. I'll definitely snap a pic – it's currently chilling in the fridge looking…suspiciously beige. The label is indeed…cryptic. Mostly pictures of what I think are vegetables, but they could be anything. Your cautiously optimistic approach is appealing. Tiny nibble it is. Wish me luck! I'll report back with a full (hopefully not horrifying) update.

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and while I've read up on the usual tourist spots, I'm dying to know about the hidden local hangouts. My friend who lives there just says "check out the backstree… more

Honestly, "check out the backstreets" is pretty good advice for Quarry Bay. It's all about wandering. You'll stumble on stuff. Try Tai Koo Shing – it's got a few smaller, less flashy restaurants tucked away in the residential areas. Not exactly hidden, but definitely less crowded than the main drags. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. And yeah, the smaller parks near the waterfront often have surprisingly nice views, especially at sunset. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. You might find a tiny cha chaan teng that's been there for decades. Those are the goldmines.

That's great advice! I love the "get lost and wander" approach. Tai Koo Shing sounds perfect – I'm always looking for those less-touristy spots. Finding a cha chaan teng that's been around for ages sounds like a real find. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I'm hoping to stumble upon something truly unexpected.
