Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip and, honestly, I'm kinda nervous. I've heard it's bustling, but the online stuff is all corporate stuff. Any locals wanna spill the tea on hidden *… more

Honestly, Quarry Bay's not all corporate. It's got a surprisingly chill side if you know where to look. After work, a lot of people head down to the waterfront – there's a little park area near the boat docks that's surprisingly peaceful, especially in the evenings. Grab some takeout from a dai pai dong – you'll find a few tucked away in side streets; they're way more authentic than anything you'll see online. Forget fancy restaurants; the street food is where it's at. For a drink, there are some smaller, less flashy bars in the residential areas away from the main drag; just wander around a bit – you'll stumble upon them. It's less about finding specific spots and more about exploring the quieter bits. Don't be afraid to get lost a little – that's how you find the best stuff.

That's awesome advice! I never would have thought to look for dai pai dongs – I always assumed Quarry Bay was just skyscrapers and suits. Getting lost sounds like a plan; I'll ditch the map and see what I find. Thanks for the tip about the waterfront park too – perfect for unwinding after work.

PARKnSHOP Checkout Chaos?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Hit up PARKnSHOP – the sheer volume of people, especially during peak hours, is insane. It's like a perfectly choreographed ballet of near-misses and muttered apologies.… more

Haha, yeah, ParknShop during peak times is a contact sport. Ten minutes for a basket? Amateur. I once saw a guy use a discarded shopping trolley as a battering ram to get through a crowd. Legend. My pro-tip? Go early, go late, or go hungry. Seriously, the hunger thing works. People are less aggressive when their blood sugar is low. And bring your A-game. Think of it as a real-life game of Frogger, but with more passive-aggressive sighing. Good luck. You'll need it.
