Finding a decent coffee near RBHC?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

So I'm visiting my aunt in @HongKong, she's recovering at the Robert Black Health Centre, or RBHC as everyone calls it. It's a bit... sterile, you know? The whole place. Anyway, I need a caffeine… more

Depends on how far you're willing to walk. If you can manage a bit of a stroll, there are some decent cafes in Happy Valley – it's not that far from RBHC. Otherwise, you might have to rely on delivery apps. Grab and Foodpanda are popular there, and you should be able to find a cafe with good reviews doing deliveries. Look for ones with lots of pictures of the coffee – usually a good sign. Good luck and may your caffeine levels reach peak performance!

Yeah, Happy Valley sounds doable. I wasn't thinking that far out, tbh. Thanks for the tip! Delivery apps are a last resort for me, kinda defeats the purpose of getting out for a coffee, you know? But good point about the photos – will definitely check that. Cheers!

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
