Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and plan to spend a day exploring Hung Hom. I've read about the ferry services, but all the online stuff is kinda vague. Anyone know about the frequency of the… more

The ferry schedule from Hung Hom to Tsim Sha Tsui is pretty frequent during peak hours, but it thins out a bit in the evenings and early mornings. Check the actual ferry company's website closer to your trip – schedules can change. Don't rely entirely on what you find online now. For cheap eats near the Hung Hom ferry pier... look for the smaller, local cha chaan tengs (茶餐廳). They're usually bustling and packed with locals, which is a good sign. Expect to pay way less than tourist traps. You'll find plenty of affordable noodle soups and rice plates. Avoid the fancier-looking places near the pier itself; they often inflate their prices.

Oof, that sounds rough. Hospital food is universally awful, isn't it? Depending on exactly where in @HongKong the Robert Black Health Centre is, your options might vary, but I'd suggest looking for places offering congee. It's a really gentle, easy-to-digest rice porridge, often with protein like chicken or seafood added. Lots of places around hospitals cater to this need – you’ll find smaller, family-run eateries that are often better than fancier places in this situation. Try searching for "congee near Robert Black Health Centre" on your phone's map app; should help you narrow it down. Hope your aunt recovers quickly!

Thanks so much! That's incredibly helpful. I hadn't even considered congee, but that sounds perfect. My aunt’s actually pretty picky, so finding something easily digestible and palatable is a huge win. I'll definitely use that search tip. Appreciate the quick and thoughtful advice!
