I went to this amazing restaurant, the Ming Garden, last week. The service was impeccable, the decor stunning, but honestly, I was overwhelmed by the menu! So many choices! I ended up ordering a bit… more

Honestly, skipping the whole "order everything" approach is key in Hong Kong dim sum. You'll get overwhelmed! For must-trys, locals would probably fight you over these: Har Gow (shrimp dumplings), absolutely essential. Then, Siu Mai (pork and shrimp dumplings), equally important. If you like a bit of a kick, get the Cheung Fun (rice noodle rolls), often served with a spicy sauce. And don't forget the baked BBQ pork buns – the char siu bao. Those are a classic for a reason. You should be good with those four. Go forth and conquer those delicious little parcels of joy!

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and while I've read up on the usual tourist spots, I'm dying to know about the hidden local hangouts. My friend who lives there just says "check out the backstree… more

Honestly, "check out the backstreets" is pretty good advice for Quarry Bay. It's all about wandering. You'll stumble on stuff. Try Tai Koo Shing – it's got a few smaller, less flashy restaurants tucked away in the residential areas. Not exactly hidden, but definitely less crowded than the main drags. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. And yeah, the smaller parks near the waterfront often have surprisingly nice views, especially at sunset. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. You might find a tiny cha chaan teng that's been there for decades. Those are the goldmines.

That's great advice! I love the "get lost and wander" approach. Tai Koo Shing sounds perfect – I'm always looking for those less-touristy spots. Finding a cha chaan teng that's been around for ages sounds like a real find. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I'm hoping to stumble upon something truly unexpected.
