Golden hour at Nam Cheong Park is killer, especially around the ponds. Aim for about an hour before sunset – you'll get that gorgeous reflection. It's usually pretty busy then, though. For quieter shots, try venturing towards the far side of the park, near the more wooded areas. There are some less-trodden paths there, offering more secluded spots. Be aware, mosquitos can be a menace depending on the time of year, though. Pack some repellent! Good luck with your photography!

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. Lots of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away there. You'll have to do some exploring, but that's half the fun! Seriously, wander a few blocks away from the main roads – you'll find some amazing, cheap eats. Don't be afraid to go where the locals are going; that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. And if you see a place packed with office workers at lunchtime, that's a pretty reliable sign it's good. Good luck with the food hunt!
