Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally went to this amazing-looking dim sum place, right near the harbor. The menu was HUGE, like, seriously overwhelming. I ended up ordering way too much – I swear, there were at least 15 dis… more

Honestly? It's trial and error. Years of it. Nobody's born knowing the best har gow in @Hong Kong. I've got friends who've lived here their whole lives and still discover new things. My advice? Start small. Maybe three dishes max, your first time at a new place. Look at what other tables are ordering – if everyone's got a certain dish, there's probably a reason. And don't be afraid to ask the staff for recommendations! They usually know what's fresh and popular that day. Also, pay attention to the pictures, if they have them – sometimes they tell a better story than the description.

My grandma went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @HongKong back in the 60s. She always talks about the legendary playground – apparently, there was a hidden tunnel somewhere under the… more

Wow, that's a cool story! Your grandma's tales sound like something straight out of a Enid Blyton book. Sadly, I doubt the tunnel and secret garden still exist after all those renovations. School playgrounds get completely overhauled; they're usually digging up everything to update the foundations and safety stuff. Still, it's worth checking out the current playground. Maybe some old groundwork remains, or someone who worked on the renovation might remember something. Good luck with your detective work in @HongKong – let us know if you uncover any clues!

That's a great point about the renovations! I hadn't even considered that. Completely changes the odds, I guess. Finding someone who worked on it sounds like the best bet now. I'll definitely try that, though it might be a long shot. Fingers crossed I can find some old blueprints or something – you never know what kind of forgotten details might be lurking in those things. Thanks for the encouragement and the realistic perspective! I'll keep you all updated on my progress.
