Meta/Other Any good restaurants to recommend for the subreddit tourist guide?
Currently planning to continue expanding the subreddit tourist guide;
Any good restaurants you suggest I add? I mostly eat at home or at local restaurants in Ma Wan which, while good, aren't really tourist oriented, so I don't have anything to recommend.
Doesn't have to be local cuisine(cantonese or specifically HK cuisine), but local cuisine is prioritized in answers.

Moving from UK to HK as a GP Doctor.
Hi everyone,
Im a GP in England , getting a bit fed up with the patient expectations, systems and taxation here. I love HK and have visted a few times. My wife is cantonese born in england , we have a child as well.
They have made the process for moving and the requirements less strict now to encourage non locally trained specialists to come over.
The pay is great compared to the UK, schooling appears to be good based on my limited research. I understand rent is high , but I was hoping to get a rough estimate about how much you think 3/4 bed flat would run based around hospitals or is it worth commuting and paying less for bigger space?
Also are there any Family Medicine doctors on here who would shed some light on the work itself?
I will aim to get a cantonese tutor if we seriously consider the move. I know very basic words at the moment.
Edit : I will have to work at Public Hospitals for 5-10 years at first - so wont be private clinics.

What has changed
My friend recently made a comment that Hong Kong is no longer the same.
I've been to Hong Kong a few times. All short trips though.
What has really changed? I just feel everyday life seems to be pretty much the same?

Question Hong Kong Trip Itinerary Tips & Suggestions
My boyfriend and I are visiting HK in September. I made a very simple itinerary for our trip but we plan to do as many things as we can. Does this itinerary look okay?
I left a lot of time allowance so we can squeeze in some quick trips to must-try restaurants or free tourist locations. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share it below.
I didn't put a lot of food places in here because we eat at random times or when we just feel like it but we definitely want to go to Ichiran, Bakehouse, and Australia Dairy Company. We certainly want to feast like a local so I'm open for recommendations.
We land at Hong Kong at around 8 in the evening, September 2. Thank you.

|---|---|---|---|
| Avenue of Stars | Take photos with the celebrity handprints and Bruce Lee statue, watch Symphony of Lights at 8PM, | ||

Working in HK as MLT
I was wondering how feasible it is to work as a medical laboratory technician in Hongkong as a foreigner. I can speak cantonese, mandarin and English fluently and can also read them (as for writing, I am pretty bad at it since I rely on pinyin).
My plan is to finish my degree next year and start looking for positions right after, I would appreciate any insight and advice! thanks

Hiked two mountains in Hong Kong!!
Hiked two mountains in Hong Kong!! Dragon's Back (super scenic) and Tai Mo Shan via the Ng Tung Chai waterfalls route! Hong Kong's highest peak (quite a challenge because it was raining and we probably got lost too). Anyway, so happy!! I love Hong Kong!

Need help with employment lawyer
Hey all, a foreigner here, I recently changed employer and I was supposed to give a one month notice before but didn't. My old employer was very upset and angry, he didn't want to pay me my last salary.
They sent me a letter from lawyer saying my salary is $94,593 and for not giving them one month notice they deduct $81,356 so left to pay only $13,237 They deducted 86% of my salary for not giving them one month notice.
Is this legal? Can I do something about this?
Anyone can recommend a lawyer that could help get me my money back and hopefully suit them for more in compensation?
Thank you for reading.
