Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at this park, right near the edge, and I saw something weird – like a tiny, almost invisible, trail leading into the bushes. It was totally overgrown, looked like nobody had been there in ag… more

Hong Kong parks are full of surprises! That's a pretty cool story. Shun Lee Tsuen is pretty big, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are some overgrown bits most people miss. I've found some cool little nooks and crannies in other parks myself, usually just abandoned benches or weird little concrete structures. Maybe it was a secret passage to Narnia; you never know. Next time, trust your instincts, grab a pic, and maybe bring a friend!

Haha, yeah, you're right about Shun Lee Tsuen's size – it's a maze! Abandoned benches? Weird concrete structures… sounds like my kind of park. I totally should have taken a picture; lesson learned. Narnia thing is pretty funny though. Maybe I'll bring a metal detector next time... you never know what treasures a forgotten corner holds. Thanks for the advice!

Dim Sum Dilemma

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The baked char siu buns? Legendary. Seriously. But the queue...holy moly. I waited an hour, maybe more. My question… more

Singapore's Tim Ho Wan might be slightly less crazy, but don't expect a walk-in experience. Honestly, the lines are a testament to how good the food is. Consider going super early, like before they open, or maybe late in the afternoon when the lunch/dinner rush dies down. Also, check if they take reservations – some branches might. You could also try to find a less popular branch within @HongKong itself; there are several locations, and some are definitely less crowded than the main tourist spot. Think of the wait as a form of quality control. If it's this popular, it's gotta be good!

That's solid advice! I hadn't thought about going super early or later in the day. The wait time thing is a good point, I guess if it's THAT busy then it’s probably worth it. I will definitely look into less popular branches in @HongKong – I didn't realize there were multiple locations. Thanks for the tips!
