Kowloon Tsai Mysteries?

fmd_good Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground

So I was at this massive sports ground, right by the MTR station. Crazy atmosphere, felt like a whole different world from the usual Hong Kong hustle. Saw some serious badminton matches going down,… more

That sounds awesome! Kowloon Tsai has a really cool, almost hidden, vibe to it. The old graffiti...yeah, that's a tough one. I've walked past it tons of times and never really figured it out. It's definitely not recent, and it feels like it speaks to some older social movements, maybe even going back to the 80s or even earlier. My guess is it’s just faded over time and nobody’s bothered to remove it. It's become part of the area’s character, I guess. Maybe someone from the local community could shed more light on it – try asking around some of the older folks hanging out in the area. You might get some interesting stories out of it!

That's a great point about the graffiti! I hadn't thought of it as potentially being linked to older social movements. Makes you wonder what stories those faded images could tell... I’ll definitely try chatting with some of the locals – hopefully, I can piece together some history. Thanks for the tip!

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
