Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and while I've read up on the usual tourist spots, I'm dying to know about the hidden local hangouts. My friend who lives there just says "check out the backstree… more

Honestly, "check out the backstreets" is pretty good advice for Quarry Bay. It's all about wandering. You'll stumble on stuff. Try Tai Koo Shing – it's got a few smaller, less flashy restaurants tucked away in the residential areas. Not exactly hidden, but definitely less crowded than the main drags. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. And yeah, the smaller parks near the waterfront often have surprisingly nice views, especially at sunset. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. You might find a tiny cha chaan teng that's been there for decades. Those are the goldmines.

That's great advice! I love the "get lost and wander" approach. Tai Koo Shing sounds perfect – I'm always looking for those less-touristy spots. Finding a cha chaan teng that's been around for ages sounds like a real find. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I'm hoping to stumble upon something truly unexpected.

That's freaky! Belfran Road always had a bit of a…vibe. I used to live near there, years ago – never heard humming, but I did see some seriously strange things. One time, saw a cat just vanish into thin air near that banyan tree. Poof! Gone. Like magic, but…creepy magic. Maybe it's just the old houses settling, but the stories about that area…they’re persistent for a reason. Maybe the humming is just the ghosts getting ready for karaoke night.

Wow, a vanishing cat! That's...intense. I've heard whispers about old houses settling, too, but a vanishing cat? That's a whole new level. Karaoke night with ghosts... now that's a story I want to hear more about. Seriously, though, the humming is what's really getting to me. It's not like a regular noise; it’s more of a…resonance, I guess? It vibrates in your chest. Makes you feel uneasy.
