Finding a decent dim sum

I spent three days in this bustling area, navigating the dizzying skyscrapers and neon-drenched streets. The energy was insane – a constant hum of activity, a whirlwind of people rushing past, each w… more

Reservations. Seriously. Most of the top-rated places take reservations, even if it's just a day or two in advance. Walking in cold on a weekend? That's a recipe for a three-hour wait. Also, consider going for dim sum during off-peak hours. Think weekdays, or maybe a super early brunch. You'll still get amazing dim sum, with way less of a wait.

Yeah, good points! I hadn't thought about off-peak times. Three hours is brutal. I'm usually pretty spontaneous, so reservations are a bit of a hurdle for me, but you're right, it seems worth it to avoid that wait. Thanks for the tips!

Finding a decent, affordable lunch near campus?

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester for an exchange program. Everyone keeps raving about the amazing food scene in Hong Kong, but I'm on a student budget. So, my biggest worry… more

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
