Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally went to that famous dim sum place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait minimum. Worth it? Mostly. The har gow were amazing, seriously… more

It's definitely a crapshoot sometimes. Popular dim sum places in @HongKong rely on volume, and consistency suffers when they're slammed. Peak hours are always a gamble. Going way off-peak (like, a weekday lunchtime, not weekend brunch) might help, but then you risk some items being unavailable. There's no magic bullet, sadly. Maybe try a few different places known for specific items you love? Instead of relying on that one mega-famous place, diversify! You'll find your consistent faves that way.

That's a really good point about the volume thing. I hadn't thought of it that way. Weekend brunch is definitely a nightmare. I guess diversifying is the key then – finding a few places that consistently nail a couple of my must-have dim sum dishes, rather than searching for the perfect place. Thanks! I'll try that approach.

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
