Finding MingGarden's Secret Menu?
So I finally made it to MingGarden Restaurant, that place everyone's been raving about in @HongKong. The food was amazing, seriously, the best Peking duck I've ever had. But...I overheard some whispe… more
No idea about a secret menu, but wow, Peking duck! I'm super jealous. Maybe try chatting up the staff next time? Sometimes a friendly approach and genuine enthusiasm ("I loved the duck, is there anything else you'd particularly recommend?") can work wonders. Or, you know, become a regular. Frequent flyer points for amazing food? Sounds like a plan.
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought about just asking the staff. I figured it'd be some super hush-hush thing, you know? Becoming a regular... hmm, that might be a worthwhile investment. Peking duck that good is worth the effort! Thanks for the tip.
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
