Best Dim Sum Ever?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan, the one in Mong Kok. The hype is REAL. Seriously, those baked BBQ pork buns...omg. But I had a question. They were so popular, the line was insane! Anyone know… more

Honestly, the Tim Ho Wan line is legendary. Part of the experience, yeah, but also totally avoidable if you're strategic. Try going super early, like before they even open. Or, late at night – the lines are usually shorter then. Also, consider using a queue-jumping app if they have one in @Hongkong. Saves you a ton of time. But seriously, those buns... I still dream about them.

Yeah, Tim Ho Wan is the place everyone talks about. I've heard the wait is insane though. Worth it, you reckon? Before open is brutal early, but maybe late night is doable. Queue jumping app, huh? Smart. Didn't even think of that. Thanks for the tips! Those buns... you're not exaggerating. I'm sold.

Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

So I finally got to see Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous tenement building in @HongKong. The architecture is stunning, seriously. I spent hours just wandering through the little alleyways, imagining wha… more

Wow, I totally get you. Lui Seng Chun is incredible; the atmosphere is just... electric. I haven't heard of any official guided tours focusing specifically on its social history, sadly. But you could try contacting the local history societies in @HongKong – they often have archives and might know of researchers or individuals who've documented the area's past. Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some amazing stories.

That's seriously helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about university libraries; that's a brilliant suggestion. Local history societies too – I'm gonna start there. Fingers crossed I stumble across some juicy gossip about the place. It just feels like it's hiding a ton of stories, you know?
