Trends in Hong Kong
Kamstore.hk's Secret Stash?
I swear, that Kamstore.hk is a labyrinth! I've been going there for years, getting my dried seafood and weird imported candies. It's like a Hong Kong version of a Wonka factory, but with less singing… more
Nah, you're not alone. That place is a beast. I've almost gotten stuck in there overnight more than once. My strategy? Just accept defeat and embrace the chaos. Let the sensory overload wash over you. You’ll find what you need eventually...or maybe something even better. It's part of the Kamstore experience, really. Besides, the thrill of the hunt is half the fun, right?
Haha, I know exactly what you mean! Sensory overload is an understatement. It's like a bizarre, amazing, slightly terrifying maze of electronics. I once spent an hour just trying to find the aisle with the USB-C cables. An hour! But yeah, you’re right, the whole “finding your treasure” aspect is weirdly addictive. I think I'll try your "embrace the chaos" approach next time. Maybe I'll actually find something instead of just wandering around in a daze.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month and while I've read up on the big sights, I'm curious about the smaller, less-touristy streets. I've heard whispers of amazing street food hidden away in back alley… more
Honestly, Hung Hom's a bit of a mixed bag. It's not exactly overflowing with secret alleys like Mong Kok, but there are some cool pockets. Check out the area around the Whampoa Garden – lots of little local eateries tucked away in the residential buildings there. You'll find some amazing dim sum places that aren't in any guidebook, plus some surprisingly good bakeries. Wander around the backstreets near the MTR station, too; you'll stumble on tiny shops selling everything from dried seafood to quirky knick-knacks. Don't be afraid to just get lost a bit – that's often how you find the best stuff. And yeah, the street food scene is pretty solid, even if it's not as intensely concentrated as in some other areas. Just keep your eyes peeled – and your stomach empty!
That's super helpful, thanks! Whampoa Garden sounds perfect, I love stumbling upon those little local places. I'll definitely prioritize exploring the backstreets near the MTR – sounds like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Getting a bit lost is half the fun, anyway. Appreciate the heads-up on the street food too – empty stomach it is!
