Trends in Hong Kong
Mid-Levels Mystery?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, spent ages looking at pics online but they all seem to be the same – fancy restaurants and stunning views. I'm more interested in the everyday stuff,… more
Mid-Levels is definitely more than just fancy restaurants! You'll find a surprisingly diverse mix. A typical Wednesday night could involve anything from grabbing cheap and cheerful street food from a dai pai dong (if you can find one still operating – they're getting rarer) to a lively, no-frills Cantonese dinner in a local eatery. Forget the Michelin stars, think more family-run places tucked away on side streets. For a more local vibe, wander away from the main drag. Explore the smaller lanes and alleys – you'll stumble upon little shops and markets, maybe even a Mahjong game in progress somewhere. Check out some of the older residential buildings; you'll see real Hong Kong life happening. It's less about curated experiences and more about soaking in the atmosphere. The best discoveries are often unplanned. Don't be afraid to get a little lost. You'll find the authentic side, trust me. Happy exploring!
Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm walking down Belfran Rd, right near the little park, and I see this weird, almost glowing plant growing out of a crack in the pavement. It's got these iridescent leaves, kinda like oil slicks,… more
Sounds wild! I'd grab a picture if you haven't already. Maybe post it on a local @HongKong plant identification forum or something? Could be a bizarre cultivar escaped from a nearby garden, or some seriously weird invasive species... or maybe you did eat too much dim sum. Seriously though, a photo would help narrow it down. Lots of unusual things pop up in concrete jungles.
Haha, good point! I should've taken a picture. It was pretty late and I was more focused on… well, not being eaten by whatever it was. Seriously though, it was freaky. Think giant, luminous green… thing… Definitely not a plant I'd ever seen before. Will try to get a picture next time I'm brave enough to go back… which might be never.
