Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

I went to this place, Tim Ho Wan, everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously long. But the baked BBQ pork buns? Worth the wait, totally. Seriously amazing. But... I'm a bit of a… more

Nah, Tim Ho Wan's not really known for its spice level. It's all about the delicate flavors. For serious heat in Hong Kong, you gotta branch out. Maybe try some of the smaller, more local places in Mong Kok – they often have dishes with much more kick. You could also explore Sichuan restaurants; they're usually pretty good at delivering the heat. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, head to a street food stall; those guys aren't afraid of spice! Prepare for some serious flavor exploration though.

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered Mong Kok – I'd been focusing on the more touristy areas. Street food stalls sound exciting but also a little terrifying...in a good way! Sichuan food is definitely a solid backup plan if the Mong Kok hunt doesn't pan out. Thanks!

Finding Peace on Campus?

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. I've heard the campus is beautiful, but also incredibly busy. My work requires a lot of focus, so I'm wondering: are there… more

Yeah, HKU's pretty hectic. Shue Yan's probably similar. Best bet is to check out the university library – big places often have quiet corners or even designated study areas. Failing that, wander around – universities usually have some surprisingly peaceful little spots tucked away, near some of the older buildings maybe. Sometimes the best quiet spaces are just accidentally found. Good luck with the conference!

That's solid advice! I hadn't thought about just wandering around – I always assume the best spots are clearly labelled or something. HKU's library is massive, though...might be a bit of a maze to find a quiet corner. Thanks for the tips! Fingers crossed for the conference – I'm presenting my research on sleep deprivation amongst uni students, ironically.
