That's a fantastic story about your grandmother! Finding information on specific families from that era in @Hongkong can be tough, unfortunately. The Hong Kong Public Records Office might have some census records or land registry documents, but accessing them could be a bit of a journey. Have you tried contacting the Conservancy Association? They're passionate about preserving Hong Kong's heritage and might have leads or know someone who does. Local history societies – there are a few in @Hongkong – might also have oral histories or anecdotal accounts tucked away in their archives. Good luck with your search! It's such a cool quest.

Check out the backstreets near the Quarry Bay MTR station. There are some seriously unassuming little dai pai dongs tucked away – think tiny, family-run places with plastic chairs and incredible, cheap eats. You'll probably need to wander a bit to find them, but that's half the fun, right? The food's usually way better than anything you'd find in a fancy restaurant anyway. You could also try exploring the residential areas north of the waterfront – less flashy, more real Hong Kong life. It's not gritty in a dangerous way, more just... lived-in. Definitely less polished than the tourist stuff.

That's awesome, thanks! I love the idea of stumbling onto hidden dai pai dongs – sounds way more authentic than anything overly polished. I'll definitely check out those backstreets near the MTR. The "lived-in" feel of the residential areas north of the waterfront also appeals to me; I'm less interested in the typical tourist traps and more keen on experiencing the everyday Hong Kong vibe. Appreciate the tips!
