I posted here earlier asking for some help understanding Ribena's (https://go141.com/en/A46742-TKW-141Walk-up-Ribena.html) phone message.  I deleted the post because when I listened to the message at home on speakerphone (instead of in a noisy station), I realised that I had heard the street number wrong and had been searching the wrong building

I went back to To Kwa Wan the next day and tried in the (I think) right building, again searching from top to bottom but still not figuring out where the hell she meant lol.  So frustrating, but I really want to meet this lady.

I understand the message to be that she's in the area of To Kwa Wan Market, at 53 Ha Heung Road...but then I don't get the floor and room number.  I hear 唐三楼 but I have seen that just translated as tenement building?  Or should I just forget the 唐 and hear it as 3/F?  As for the room I hear foi saat which I thought could mean 内室，but even then I don't know what that means in practice.

Can anyone advise?  I am trying to link the recording here.

Appreciate the help as this is turning into quite a treasure hunt, thanks gents.

During stone age era, Hongkongers called the ground floor as G/F, what we now call 1/F as 2/F (for the sake of clarity, some people called it 唐二樓 (唐2/F)).  There was basically no 1/F (一樓) in the building's.

Current G/F = G/F, 1/F = 2nd floor 唐二樓， 2/F = 3rd floor 唐三樓


This one must be an 40+ year building I reckon.

Can't figure out what "foi" means.

Thanks a lot sir, mystery solved.   Successfully located Ribena after climbing 2 flights of stairs.  Terminology makes sense as both the lady and the building were from stone age

Asked her about the Foi室 in her message and she told me it is Boy室 meaning "B as in Boy room."  So I don't think there was any way we'd figure that out on our own ought to just say B室.  Room number was really a red herring anyways as there was only one door on #53 3/F with just one doorbell marked "B"

Super discreet with no markings, CCTV camera or any indication on the door, so was a little intimidated to ring the bell in case I was at the wrong place, but all worked out in the end Had a great time and will report soon.  Getting there was half the fun with this one.
