We want to know about where you live. Don’t be shy! Send
an email to
contribute@expatliving.hkwith “Street Talk” in the
subject line. Include your name and street, and we’ll be in touch.
WHAT'S THE WORD ON YOUR STREET?
A common myth about your
neighbourhood is:
The high pollution levels from the airport;
this is not the case at all; yes, there is
pollution because we have the airport
next to us but it’s nothing as bad as
central Hong Kong.
If you’re ever woken up at night,
it’s almost always due to:
The people living above us, or a major
thunderstorm.
A massive late-night rager on
your street is likely to involve:
Probably all the expats getting together
for a drink at Kimos.
THE SUPERLATIVES
Your hands-down favourite
neighbourhood joints are:
Kimos (Turkish and Indian cuisine),
Resto (pizza, pasta, ribs and grill), Handi
(Indian) and Mansarover (Indian).
You won’t find better local food
than at:
My Thai Bar & Restaurant.
The strangest thing you’ve ever
seen on your street is:
A dog being walked around in a stroller!
The best bargains in your
neighbourhood are at:
Japan Home Centre.
The guiltiest pleasure in your
area is:
The Häagen-Dazs café.
One thing you’d never change is:
The amazing view and great community.
But one thing you wouldn’t mind
seeing go is:
Noisy neighbours!
The city gives you $5 million to
soup up your street. You use it to:
Open some new bars and restaurants
and some soft play areas for the kids;
and if money is left over, soundproof the
apartments!
Why should your neighbourhood
be featured in a guidebook?
Because we live on one of the best islands
in Hong Kong; Lantau is an amazing place
to live whether you’re single, a couple or a
family. It has everything to offer everyone,
from great hiking locations, to the Big
Buddha and Disneyland. If you enjoy
shopping, we have the only designer outlet
mall in HK. It’s also open and airy, with less
pollution than other areas; and it’s away
from the hustle and bustle of the city but
close enough to visit easily. There’s a great
community atmosphere too.
