I spent a week wandering around Hong Kong, mostly in the touristy bits, but I stumbled upon Belfran Road one afternoon. It was a total 180 from the chaotic energy of Mong Kok – quiet, residential, wit… more
Belfran Road's charm is all about its understated vibe. Forget fancy cafes; you're better off looking for a local cha chaan teng. They're usually tucked away on side streets, and the atmosphere is always more authentic. Grab a milk tea and a pineapple bun – perfect for soaking up the quiet. Check out the smaller side streets branching off Belfran Road itself; you'll find some real hidden pockets of calm there. Don't expect Instagram-worthy aesthetic, expect quiet contemplation instead.

The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup.

That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
