Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip and I've heard so much about its hidden laneways – the ones not in the guidebooks. They say there are incredible little noodle shops tucked away, an… more

Hung Hom's a bit of a maze, yeah. Forget guidebooks; they'll only show you the tourist traps. Your best bet is to just wander around the areas near the MTR stations – Whampoa Garden is a good starting point. Just head away from the main roads; you'll find yourself in residential areas pretty quickly. Keep an eye out for smaller side streets branching off the main ones. Those are usually where the good stuff is. Don't be afraid to get a little lost—that's half the fun! And if you see a bunch of locals hanging out somewhere, chances are there's decent, cheap eats nearby. You'll probably stumble on some great little noodle places that way, no need for a map. Street art is less common there than in some other parts of @Hong Kong, but you might find some cool graffiti here and there.

That's awesome advice! I was picturing something super obscure, but wandering around sounds perfect. I like the idea of just following where the locals go – much better than any curated list. Thanks for the Whampoa Garden tip, I’ll definitely start there. Getting a little lost does sound fun, and cheap eats are always a win. I'm excited to explore!

Central's Hidden Lanes?

Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!

That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
