I recently attended the Hong Kong Food Expo at the Convention Center.
My wife, Pam, and I intended to go on Sunday afternoon, thinking it would be a pleasant way of killing a rainy PM, snacking our way around the hundreds of exhibitor booths.
WRONG! The crush to get anywhere near the entrance was such that we [...]

Drink!!!!!!!!!
I don’t necessarily mean alcohol.
There are two types of venues that seem to attract local people. One is the teahouse. Teahouses come in all shapes and sizes and can be found in most every neighborhood. They serve herb teas. Many, but not all, of the teas are intended to help drinkers improve some aspect of [...]

Eat!!!!!!!
I’m not talking about dining at your hotel or at the over-priced tourist traps or eating Western fast food or pub food to accompany your beers. I’m talking about eating the same kind of food the locals do.
I’ve written a number of postings about restaurants in Hong Kong but I’ve not really covered local, inexpensive [...]
Hong Kong Versus Singapore - Shopping and Eating.

Number three in a continuing series.
Shopping
Hong Kong has a reputation as a shopper’s paradise. I’m not so sure that is still true. The Designer outlets in Hong Kong are as expensive as they are anywhere else I’ve been. The electronics and camera stores offer no real bargains and, especially in Tsim Sha Tsui, are likely [...]

Thanks to M at the Fringe, an extremely fine and inventive restaurant, for the inspiration to attempt to pick ten things that are not usually found in guidebooks and are aimed primarily at residents and then offer the list to tourists also. I must acknowledge that I have used the M at the Fringe list [...]

Continuing yesterday’s item:
After arriving on the Peak, we strolled on Lugard Rd which runs from a point Southwest of the Peak viewing platform to Harlech Rd. which will take you back to the Peak viewing area. It’s a level, one hour walk and most relaxing. If you have time and are a flora [...]
Being a Tourist Guide In Your Own Home Town (HK In a Day and a Half)

I recently had the opportunity to show a couple of first time visitors around Hong Kong. They were connecting to a cruise and so had only a day and a half. Additionally, the weather was hot and extremely muggy, a condition they were not used to. What to do? What to [...]
O.K., the Sevens Weren’t Perfect.

Aunty Edna from Thailand writes that it was disappointing that there was only Heineken beer available except for a couple Carlsberg stalls.
I would like to add my own complaint that the outlawing of beer drinking in the upper stands is another needless “Big Brother” protection. If I drink too much beer, I’m just [...]

One day until the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens!
Yesterday, I listed a number of late night nosheries. I realized that I had missed a few. Some of the following are only open late (defined as 2:00 AM or later) on the weekends. Others did not meet my criteria as unspecific as those criteria [...]

Two days until the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens.
Suddenly, late night noshing has become a hot topic. Perhaps the advent of the Rugby Sevens Tournament has something to do with it. A few suggested stops for hunger and/or stomach lining, listed alphabetically, are:
Archie B’s Deli, SoHo (Has dropped off in recent months but [...]
