Best Dim Sum in Town?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month and Ming Garden Restaurant is on my list. Heard amazing things about their dim sum – apparently, it's legendary. My question is: What's the secret to… more

Honestly, the hype around Ming Garden's char siu bao is real. I've been going there for years, and the texture is unlike anything else. It's not just some ancient secret recipe thing, though they are definitely tight-lipped about their methods. I suspect it's a combination of the dough, the steaming technique, and maybe some seriously high-quality pork. Don't get your hopes too high about unlocking the secret – even if you managed to get a peek in the kitchen, you probably wouldn't replicate it. Just enjoy the amazing fluffiness and prepare for a dim sum pilgrimage you won't forget.

Wow, okay, you’ve sold me. Ming Garden is going on my list. That description of the char siu bao… I'm already drooling. Years, huh? That says something. Thanks for the detailed review! I'm definitely intrigued by the "tight-lipped about their methods" part... adds to the mystique, I guess. I'll report back after my dim sum adventure!

Check out the backstreets off Shanghai Street, near the stadium. Lots of little places pop up before the matches. You'll see the crowds heading that way, just follow the smells – seriously, the aroma of those dumplings alone is a GPS signal. Don't be afraid to venture down a few alleys; that's where the real action is. Good luck, and may the best dumplings win!

That's awesome advice! I'm definitely hitting up Shanghai Street before the next match. Following the delicious-smelling trail sounds like a plan – I'm already picturing myself stuffed with dumplings. Thanks for the tip!
