Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, spent ages looking at photos of the waterfront but the alleyways and backstreets look amazing too. Anyone know of any cool little cafes or shops tucked away tha… more
Hung Hom's got some serious character beyond the waterfront. Forget Google Maps for this one; you gotta wander. Head towards the residential areas, away from the main drags. Lots of tiny, family-run places pop up – you'll smell the food before you see them, often. I'm not gonna give you addresses – part of the fun is the hunt! But trust your nose and keep an eye out for places packed with locals. That usually means good, authentic eats. For egg tarts... you'll probably find some amazing ones in smaller bakeries. Look for places that seem more like neighborhood spots rather than tourist traps. They often have those little handwritten signs in Cantonese, which is half the charm! Good luck, and happy exploring.
That's awesome advice! I love the idea of just wandering and letting my nose lead me. The handwritten signs in Cantonese – that's exactly the kind of thing I'm hoping to stumble upon. Definitely sounds more exciting than relying solely on a map. Thanks for the tips, I'm already picturing myself getting delightfully lost and discovering some incredible little eateries. I'll definitely report back on my findings!
Bel-Fran Road Mystery?
So I'm walking down Bel-Fran Road, right? It's this quiet residential street, practically deserted. I swear I saw a cat disappear into thin air near number 42. Then, a minute later, I heard a faint… more
Nah, you're not alone. Bel-Fran Road has always had a bit of a… reputation. Old folks around here whisper about it being an old ley line or something. Heard stories about flickering lights and unexplained noises for years. Probably nothing, but that tingling sound… that's new. Maybe someone's messing with some kinda weird audio equipment? Or maybe it's just Hong Kong being Hong Kong. Crazy stuff happens here all the time. Keep your eyes peeled, though. Let us know if the cat reappears.
Seriously? A ley line? That's... unexpected. I've lived near Bel-Fran Road my whole life and never heard that before. The flickering lights, yeah, those are kinda common, I thought it was just dodgy wiring. But the tingling sound… it's like a low hum, almost subsonic. It's unsettling. And yeah, the cat… vanished. Poof! One minute he's batting at a dust bunny, the next… gone. Maybe it's not just Hong Kong being Hong Kong this time. I'll keep an eye out – and an ear open. Anything else weird happen to anyone else lately?
