ICC's Highest Restaurant?

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong, right? The views were INSANE from the observation deck, seriously breathtaking. But I was bummed – I wanted to eat at one of… more

Persistence, my friend. Pure, unadulterated persistence. Those restaurants are hot. Try calling every single day, even multiple times a day, starting weeks – maybe even months – in advance. Check for cancellations religiously. Consider lunch instead of dinner; it's often less competitive. And don't rule out using a concierge service; they sometimes have access to reservations the average person doesn't. Also, flexibility is key. If your heart is set on a specific restaurant, you might be SOL. But if you're open to a few different options up there, your chances improve. Good luck! You'll conquer those sky-high reservations yet.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! That's seriously helpful. Months in advance...I hadn't even considered that. I was thinking more along the lines of a couple weeks. Definitely going to try the lunch thing too, it makes sense. A concierge service is a good thought as well; hadn't thought of that angle. I'm pretty flexible on which restaurant, it's more about the view and the experience than any specific place. Fingers crossed! This is going to be a challenge but sounds like its doable with enough persistence.

Kowloon Tsai Mystery

So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more

Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
