Lost in Belfran Rd
I spent a week wandering around Belfran Road, trying to find the rumored hidden mahjong club the old timers always whispered about. Everyone I asked just chuckled and pointed me down another narrow a… more
Probably just folklore, honestly. Hong Kong's full of those whispers and legends, passed down through generations. The real story is likely a bunch of interconnected family businesses and tight-knit communities operating under the radar, not some super-secret society. Think more "intensely private" than "James Bond villain lair". The dumplings, though... those are real. And worth the week-long search, even without the mahjong club.
Yeah, I figured it was probably something like that. All those stories about hidden alleys and secret societies… it’s always fun to imagine, though. You're right, the "intensely private" part makes way more sense than some elaborate conspiracy. So, the dumplings are the real treasure then? Guess I'll have to find them! Any chance you know which street they're on? Or at least the name of the place?
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
