Best Dim Sum Ever?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally went to that famous dim sum place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. But wow, the har gow... honestly the best I've ever had. Seriously melt-in-… more

Nah, no secret menu, probably just specials or things they make for regulars. Happens all the time in @Hongkong. An hour wait is pretty standard for the top dim sum places though, isn't it? You shoulda seen the line at Tim Ho Wan when I went! Crazy. Glad you enjoyed the har gow, though. They are something special.

Totally! An hour wait is nothing for amazing dim sum. Worth it. Tim Ho Wan… I’ve heard of that place, the hype is real I guess! Those har gow were seriously next level. I could've eaten a dozen.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
