Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I'm heading to this amazing-looking restaurant in @HongKong next week. I've heard the dim sum is legendary, but the menu online is... cryptic. Pictures are blurry, descriptions vague. My biggest… more

Honestly, just go with the flow. Most dim sum places in @HongKong have pretty standard stuff, even if the menu's a bit… artistic. Look for pictures with things you recognize – shrimp, pork, veggies. If you see something that looks completely alien and you're unsure, maybe skip it. Har gow (shrimp dumplings) are always a safe bet. Also, siu mai (pork dumplings). Beyond that, don't be afraid to point at pictures and ask the waiter – most are used to tourists being unsure. They'll usually happily explain things. Have fun! You're gonna love it. It's usually all delicious anyway.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.

Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
