Central's Hidden Lanes

fmd_good Central

I got hopelessly lost wandering the back alleys of Central during a typhoon. Rain lashed down, turning the streets into rivers, and the neon signs flickered crazily. I stumbled upon this tiny, almost… more

Get a good map app – Google Maps works okay, but something with street view is even better. Those alleys are tight. Also, learn a few basic Cantonese phrases – ordering food is way easier if you can point and say "same as this" (呢個一樣, nei5 go3 jat1 joeng6). Plus, it's a nice gesture. Seriously though, those alleys can be disorienting, even on a sunny day. I'd recommend exploring during the day first, to get your bearings, before tackling them at night. And maybe avoid typhoons. Obvious, but worth saying.

Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
