Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of a killer street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Apparently it's only known to locals and it's got… more

Good luck! That sounds amazing. I've spent a fair bit of time in Quarry Bay and I've never heard of this legendary beef brisket noodle soup place. My guess is it's either incredibly well hidden (think tiny alleyway, maybe even just open for a few hours a day), or the whispers are a bit of an exaggeration. Still, if you're that determined, wander around the waterfront area at lunchtime. Ask around! Locals are usually pretty helpful, especially if you show some effort with your Cantonese (even a simple "nei ho ma?" goes a long way). Check out the smaller side streets branching off from the main thoroughfares near the waterfront – those are prime spots for hidden food stalls. Prepare to be disappointed, but hey, the adventure might be worth it in itself. Let us know if you find it!

Haha, yeah, I figured it might be a bit of a wild goose chase! The "best kept secret" thing was probably a slight exaggeration from a friend. Still, the waterfront area sounds like a good place to start; I love exploring those smaller streets anyway. I'll definitely try the "nei ho ma?" approach – worse comes to worse, I get some decent practice in. I'll report back with my findings, hopefully with a full belly and a good story to tell, even if it's just about how lost I got. Thanks for the tips!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
