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!

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 hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more

Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
