Kam Store's Best Kept Secret?
So I finally braved the crowds at Kam Store in @HongKong. It's insane, the sheer variety of stuff they cram in there! I managed to snag some amazing dried seafood – the smell alone was an experience.… more
Honestly? I've been going to Kam Store for years, and I still haven't figured that out. Some say it's a family recipe passed down through generations, others whisper it's leftover ingredients magically transformed...

Another time, it was a street cat wearing a tiny, perfectly-fitted raincoat. Seriously. No joke. You'll find way more than just tea houses, trust me. Prepare for the unexpected. And maybe bring a flashlight.
