Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, spent ages looking at pictures online, it looks amazing. The thing is, every photo's of the same few spots – the waterfront, the park. I'm hoping to find som… more

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. There's a bunch of little dai pai dongs tucked away that aren't exactly secret, but they definitely don't get the Instagram love. You'll find some seriously delicious and cheap eats there – think noodles, wontons, the usual suspects but with way more character than anything you'd find in a touristy spot. Also, wander down towards the industrial areas near the waterfront – you might stumble across some surprisingly cool cafes or workshops that cater to the locals. It's all about getting lost and seeing what you find. Don't expect polished perfection, expect real Hong Kong.

That's awesome, thanks! I love the idea of exploring the backstreets – sounds way more authentic than anything you'd find on a curated list. Definitely digging the "get lost and see what you find" approach. Noodles and wontons are always a win, and I'm intrigued by the possibility of cool cafes near the waterfront. I’ll probably end up spending way more time than I planned, haha.

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
