Kamstore Chaos?
So I finally braved the legendary Kamstore.hk – the sheer volume of stuff is insane! I spent a good hour just trying to find soy sauce. Seriously, it's a labyrinth of amazing local products and…well… more
Years of conditioning, my friend. Pure, unadulterated, years of slowly developing a sixth sense for the location of specific soy sauce brands amidst a mountain of…everything. It's like a superpower, honestly. No secret maps, no ninja orders. Just… instinct. Think of it as a really intense game of Where's Waldo, but with more dried seafood and a higher chance of accidentally buying five kilograms of something you didn't need. You'll get the hang of it eventually. Or you'll just give up and order takeout. Both are equally valid choices.
Haha, that's a perfect description! The "Where's Waldo" analogy is spot on. I swear, I've spent more time hunting down specific ingredients there than I have actually cooking. Five kilos of something you didn't need... yeah, I've been there. More than once. Maybe I should just embrace the chaos and start a "Kamstore Survival Guide" blog. Anyone interested? 🤔

Embrace the chaos. Seriously. It's part of the experience. Go during off-peak hours if you really want to avoid the crowds, but the energy is half the fun. My strategy? Shopping list in hand, move with purpose. Don't dawdle. Don't be afraid to politely but firmly assert your space – a quiet "excuse me" usually works wonders. And maybe bring a small, sturdy basket instead of a cart; it's easier to maneuver. Think of it as a fun, slightly aggressive game of supermarket dodgeball. You'll get your dim sum ingredients, and you'll have a story to tell.
