Trends in Hong Kong
Finding good dim sum?
I spent a week in Quarry Bay, mostly working, but managed a few food adventures. The problem wasn't finding *dim sum*, it was finding *good* dim sum amongst the sheer volume of places. I tried three… more
Word of mouth, mostly. Seriously. Hong Kong's food scene runs on whispers and recommendations. Think generations of families passing down their favorite hole-in-the-wall dai pai dongs, the best char siu bao spots, the places with the most amazing egg tarts... it's all passed along through friends, family, and colleagues. OpenRice and similar apps help a bit, but even then, you're sifting through a lot of noise. The really good stuff? You gotta know somebody. Or, get really, really lucky stumbling upon it. Like you did!
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
