So I'm heading to Central in a few weeks, been looking at photos and it looks amazing. All the skyscrapers and stuff are cool, but I'm more interested in the smaller streets and alleys. Heard whispe… more

It's definitely doable to find those hidden noodle shops. You'll mostly stumble upon them, honestly. Don't expect a clear signpost; it's more about wandering the side streets off Hollywood Road and Lyndhurst Terrace – those areas are your best bet. Look for places that are packed with locals, not tourists. The menus might be mostly in Chinese, which is a good sign. Just be brave and go for it! You might need to navigate a little, using Google Maps to get a general idea of where you are, but a little getting lost is part of the fun. You'll probably find a few gems just exploring. Happy hunting!

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
