Hung Hom Hustle?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, been reading up on it and it seems pretty vibrant. I'm really into street food – anyone know the best places to grab a truly authentic, local bite outside the… more
Hung Hom's got some serious hidden depths when it comes to street food. Forget the usual touristy spots; you want to head towards the residential areas. There's a tiny little dai pai dong tucked away near the Whampoa Garden estate – it's practically invisible unless you know it's there. They do an amazing curry fish balls, and their wonton noodles are legendary. Seriously, prepare to wait in line, but it's worth it. For the night market, the one near the Hung Hom Ferry Pier is less polished than others, so it feels more genuine. You'll find all sorts of interesting snacks there - everything from stinky tofu (if you're brave!) to egg waffles. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye; that's half the fun. Just be prepared for a sensory overload; it's loud, busy, and incredibly delicious.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Curry fish balls and legendary wonton noodles... I'm sold. The dai pai dong sounds amazing, exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. And a less polished night market? Even better! I'm usually overwhelmed by the super touristy ones. Stinky tofu... I'll have to work up the courage for that one, haha. Sensory overload sounds about right – bring it on! Thanks again!
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
