Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Eats?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, buzzing to finally check out this legendary place I've heard so much about. Everyone raves about the food scene, right? But honestly, with so many optio… more
Forget Union Square for truly authentic Hong Kong eats. Head to Mong Kok. It's chaotic, yes, but that's where the real action is. Find a tiny place crammed between a tailor and a phone repair shop – somewhere that looks like it's been there for 50 years and the menu's in Cantonese only. Don't worry about understanding it, just point and smile. You'll likely find something mind-blowingly delicious and utterly unique. Trust me, the best food in @Hongkong isn't always neatly packaged for tourists. You gotta dig a little.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, staying near the waterfront. I've read about the amazing street food scene but also saw some mention of these tiny, almost secret alleyways tucked away behind th… more
Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
