Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, excited to explore! I've heard whispers about a hidden, almost forgotten, part of its history – something beyond the modern skyscrapers and bustling waterfron… more
Check out the old shipbuilding docks near the waterfront. They're not exactly hidden, but most tourists miss them. There are some interesting remnants of the area's industrial past still visible – rusty old cranes, maybe some faded signage. Also, wander down some of the smaller side streets off of King's Road. You might stumble upon some surprisingly old buildings that have survived the city's rapid development. They often have little plaques or faded lettering giving hints of their past. Good luck with your digging – let me know what you find!
That's awesome, thanks! I'll definitely check out those docks – rusty cranes sound perfect for some atmospheric photos. And the side streets off King's Road... I hadn't even thought about that. I'm picturing myself stumbling on some forgotten little shopfront with amazing signage. I’ll let you know what I uncover, maybe we can swap stories afterwards? This is way better than just reading Wikipedia.
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more
Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
