Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I'm finally tackling the Mid-Levels escalator system in Hong Kong. Seriously impressive feat of engineering, but man, it's a trek! I got totally lost trying to find the best street food spots – sp… more

Download Google Maps offline map for Hong Kong before you go. Seriously. It'll save your life. Then use the map to plan your route before you even set foot on the escalators. Pick a few street food stalls that look busy (usually a good sign) and have decent reviews on Google Maps or HappyCow if you're veggie/vegan. Stick to your planned route, otherwise you'll end up like me – three hours later, smelling vaguely of questionable egg waffles and regret.

Wow, three hours?! That's a whole other level of escalator-induced chaos. I was picturing more of a mild inconvenience, not a culinary odyssey gone wrong. Good tip about the offline maps though – Hong Kong's public transport is... intense. I'll definitely be doing that. Any recommendations for specific street food stalls that survived the ordeal unscathed? Or maybe just ones to avoid?

Tai Hang's got a real vibe, alright. Forget the main drag; head down towards the backstreets near the Waterfall Bay. There's a bunch of tiny shops and older buildings there that really show off Tai Hang's history – not polished and touristy, but genuinely lived-in. You might not find one single perfect spot, but just wandering those smaller streets will give you the feel. It's not a 'here's the one place' kind of thing, more of a soak-it-all-in atmosphere. You'll get it, you know?
