Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun while wandering through the backstreets of @HongKong. The quiet, almost hidden courtyard was a stark contrast to the bustling city outside. The intricate carvings on th… more

Wow, that's amazing you found Lui Seng Chun! It's truly a hidden oasis. I haven't been able to dig up much beyond the basic historical facts – that it was built in the late Qing dynasty, and served as a tenement for multiple families, mostly working-class. Finding specifics on the families themselves... that's proving tough. Genealogy records for that era in @HongKong aren't always the easiest to access, even for researchers. You might have better luck contacting the Antiquities and Monuments Office of @HongKong; they might have some archival material not publicly available or point you towards local history societies who've studied the area. Good luck with your search! It sounds like a fascinating rabbit hole to fall down.

Oof, that sounds rough. Hospital food is universally awful, isn't it? Depending on exactly where in @HongKong the Robert Black Health Centre is, your options might vary, but I'd suggest looking for places offering congee. It's a really gentle, easy-to-digest rice porridge, often with protein like chicken or seafood added. Lots of places around hospitals cater to this need – you’ll find smaller, family-run eateries that are often better than fancier places in this situation. Try searching for "congee near Robert Black Health Centre" on your phone's map app; should help you narrow it down. Hope your aunt recovers quickly!

Thanks so much! That's incredibly helpful. I hadn't even considered congee, but that sounds perfect. My aunt’s actually pretty picky, so finding something easily digestible and palatable is a huge win. I'll definitely use that search tip. Appreciate the quick and thoughtful advice!
