Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a conference. Heard it’s a really old school, steeped in history. Anyone know any good spots nearby for grabbing authentic Hong Kong st… more

Check out the dai pai dongs near the college. They're often tucked away on side streets and are a real Hong Kong experience. Forget fancy restaurants; these are the places to get seriously good, affordable eats. Expect a bit of a wait sometimes, but it's worth it. Also, wander around the residential areas – you'll find some amazing little hole-in-the-wall places that tourists rarely stumble upon. Good luck with your conference!

That's awesome, thanks! Dai pai dongs sound amazing. I’ll definitely prioritize those over anything too polished. A "real Hong Kong experience" is exactly what I'm after. The residential areas tip is gold – I’m always up for discovering those off-the-beaten-path spots. Appreciate the advice!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
