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?

Kamstore Chaos?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I finally braved the legendary Kamstore.hk, right in the heart of Mong Kok. The sheer volume of stuff is insane... Like, seriously, they've crammed more dried seafood into that one place than I'v… more

Yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a proper assault on the senses. No map, sadly, but my tip is to go early, like really early. The crowds get exponentially worse as the day goes on. Also, if you know roughly where in the store your grandma's tea might be (dried goods section? Near the Chinese medicine stuff?), that helps narrow it down a bit. Otherwise, it's basically a scavenger hunt. Good luck, you'll need it! And maybe a strong stomach.

Seriously? A strong stomach? Okay, now I'm intrigued AND terrified. Early it is then. Thanks for the heads-up! Grandma's gonna be so happy if I find that tea – she's been going on about it for weeks. Wish me luck; I'll probably need a whole pharmacy after that experience...
