Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and everyone keeps raving about the waterfront. But I'm not into the tourist traps – I'm looking for something local, something... authentic. Any… more
Honestly, forget the waterfront for a real Quarry Bay experience. Head inland a bit. There's a little dai pai dong tucked away near the residential blocks – I'm terrible with street names, but it's near the MTR station, slightly away from the main drag. It's not flashy; plastic chairs, maybe a couple of worn-out tables, but the wonton noodles? Oh my god, the wonton noodles. Seriously addictive stuff. Locals only.

Forget the backstreets. Head to a tea house in Sheung Wan. Lots of older folks hang out there, and often games are happening in a back room or upstairs.
