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?

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
