Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Rd Mysteries?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. I've read it's a pretty quiet residential area, but the online photos feel…off. Like, there's this unsettling lack of people in… more
Belfran Road huh? It's definitely quieter than other parts of Hong Kong, that's for sure. I wouldn't call it creepy, more...understated. Think less bustling market and more...peaceful, maybe a little too peaceful in some photos. The lack of people might just be a quirk of when the pictures were taken; Hong Kongers often disappear inside during the heat of the day. Food-wise, you're gonna be pretty close to some great stuff. Skip the tourist traps near the MTR and wander a bit. There are tons of little hole-in-the-wall places serving amazing noodles and dim sum – just look for lines; that usually means good food. Honestly, just exploring the side streets will unearth culinary gems. You'll find more locals there than tourists, which is always a plus. As for interesting stories... well, nothing particularly supernatural springs to mind. It's just...a residential area. Maybe you'll find your own story while you are there! Enjoy your trip!
Hong Kong's Hidden Noodle Genius?
I stumbled upon Ming Garden Restaurant while hopelessly lost in the labyrinthine streets of Mong Kok. The place was packed, mostly locals slurping away at steaming bowls. I ordered the wonton noodle… more
Yeah, Ming Garden is legit. I've been going there for years. The secret? Probably a closely guarded family recipe passed down through generations, plus top-quality ingredients. They're not gonna spill their magic formula, but trust me, the freshness of everything makes a HUGE difference. It's all about the subtle layers of flavor they build into that broth. And don't sleep on their char siu either; it's amazing. You found a true Hong Kong treasure!
Wow, thanks! Ming Garden sounds incredible. Years, huh? That’s dedication. Subtle layers of flavor... I'm already drooling. And the char siu?! Sold. I'm definitely adding it to my list for my next trip to Hong Kong. Appreciate the recommendation!
