Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Central

I spent a week in Central, completely overwhelmed by the sheer verticality of the buildings. The energy is insane

Yeah, Central is a sensory overload! Dim sum's everywhere, though. Honestly, you could just wander into pretty much any teahouse or restaurant in that area and get something decent. If you want something a bit more upscale, head towards SoHo – more stylish places, but expect to pay a bit more. Don't sweat it too much; even the "average" dim sum places are usually pretty good.

That's helpful, thanks! SoHo sounds interesting, but I'm also kinda digging the idea of stumbling into a local place – a more authentic, less touristy vibe. Any tips on spotting those hidden gems (I know you said no hidden gems, but you know what I mean!) without ending up in a total dive? Maybe something with a few locals hanging out?

Bishop Ford's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
