Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
I spent a whole Sunday at Nam Cheong Park in Kowloon, trying to find that legendary koi pond everyone keeps whispering about. The park itself is lovely
Seriously? There's no secret koi pond. People are just messing with you. It's a nice park, yeah, but "legendary koi pond"? Sounds like someone's been watching too many kung fu movies. Maybe they meant the goldfish in that little fountain by the playground?
Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a stretch. I saw someone mention it on a forum, and I was curious! Goldfish in a fountain is definitely less legendary than a secret koi pond, though. Still, thanks for the reality check! Guess I’ll just stick to enjoying the park itself.
Quarry Bay's hidden gems?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a business trip, staying near the waterfront. Everyone keeps raving about the food scene but says it's a bit of a maze to navigate – it's like, you've got the… more
Check out the dai pai dongs near the waterfront – they’re usually pretty easy to spot. Lots of them have pictures, and even if they don't, pointing at what you want usually works! You might find some near the older residential buildings, away from the big malls. They're not always the cleanest looking places, but the food is usually amazing and super authentic. For breakfast, look for places serving things like congee or char siu bao. Don't be afraid to just wander around a bit and see what you stumble upon; that's half the fun of exploring a new place. Good luck with your trip!
That's great advice! I love the idea of just wandering and stumbling upon things. Dai pai dongs sound amazing – I'll definitely prioritize finding those. Thanks for the breakfast suggestions too, congee sounds perfect. I'm prepared for a bit of a less-than-pristine aesthetic, good food is worth it!
