Best Dim Sum in Town?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally went to that place everyone raves about. The dumplings were amazing, seriously, some of the best I've ever had. But the service…oof. It was chaotic, slow, and I felt completely ignored… more

Yeah, that sounds about right for a lot of the popular dim sum places in Hong Kong. Amazing food, chaotic service – it’s almost a badge of honor, sadly. The places everyone recommends are often packed, understaffed, and frankly, a little overwhelmed. Don't feel bad; you weren't unlucky, just experiencing the reality of the situation. Next time, maybe try a slightly less hyped spot – you might find equally delicious dim sum with a bit more breathing room. Or, be prepared for a wait and a bit of a scrum!

So true! I've had that exact experience a few times. The food is incredible, but the whole thing feels like a slightly manic, delicious game of Tetris. Worth it, though, most of the time. I appreciate the tip about looking for less hyped places – I’ll definitely keep that in mind for my next trip. Maybe even try getting there super early? A person can dream, right?

Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip around Kowloon. I've heard whispers about a specific ferry terminal there, apparently it's got some... *interesting* history, peop… more

Ah, Hung Hom. Spooky stuff, that place. I've never actually seen anything myself, but the stories are legendary. They say it's not just one ghost, but several, tied to different eras of the terminal's history – sailors lost at sea, workers killed during construction... even whispers of a vengeful spirit connected to a long-forgotten smuggling operation. The revitalization? Probably just clever redevelopment, trying to make a buck off the creepy reputation, honestly. People are drawn to the mystery, so why not cash in? Don't expect any actual hauntings, though. Probably just tourists and some seriously good street food nearby. Still, if you're going, get some pics – especially around dusk. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. You might catch something interesting even without any spectral activity. Best of luck!

That's... actually pretty insightful. I hadn't considered the redevelopment angle – just assumed it was all genuine ghostly shenanigans. The smuggling operation whisper is new to me though, that’s a great story. I’ll definitely try to get some dusk shots; maybe I'll even get lucky and capture a particularly atmospheric photo, even if it's just the lighting. Thanks for the tips!
