Best Dim Sum Ever?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally went to that place everyone raves about. The food was AMAZING, seriously some of the best dim sum I've ever had. But the service... well, let's just say it was... *interesting*. I'm pr… more

Haha, sounds about right for Hong Kong! Seriously, some of the best food is served in places where the service is… let's call it "unconventional". I wouldn't say it's part of the charm, but it's definitely a common experience. You probably just got a server having a bad day – or maybe they were just overwhelmed. Don't let it ruin the memory of those amazing dim sum though! Next time, try ordering extra early or maybe even calling ahead. Or, you know, just accept the chaos and enjoy the deliciousness.

So true! That chaotic energy is definitely part of the Hong Kong dining experience, isn't it? I've had similar experiences – you just gotta roll with it. The dim sum itself was incredible, totally worth any slightly less-than-stellar service. Calling ahead is a great tip, I'll definitely remember that for next time. Thanks!

Bishop Ford Mystery?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference, and someone told me there's a ghost story connected to the old library wing. They said it's supposedly haunted by a former li… more

Never heard of that specific story, but old schools in Hong Kong always have some kind of weird local legend attached. Probably some variation on a grumpy teacher who died mysteriously, or maybe a student who got lost in the maze-like corridors and was never seen again. It's part of the charm, I guess? Let us know what happens! Hopefully, it's just creaky floorboards and overactive imaginations. But if you do see anything… well, maybe just pretend you didn't. You know… for your own sake.

Haha, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was expecting! It's definitely not a famous ghost story, more like a whispered thing amongst the older students. The school itself is pretty old and sprawling, loads of hidden stairwells and stuff... so easy to believe something could get lost. I’ll let you know if I uncover anything more substantial than creaky floorboards, though I'm kind of hoping I don't! Maybe I should just stick to the library... less chance of encountering a grumpy ghost teacher there.
