Finding a decent dim sum place
So I'm spending a week in this bustling area, navigating the crazy crowds and towering buildings. I've tried a few places already, but everything seems so...touristy. I'm craving authentic, local di… more
Check out Lung King Heen. It's Michelin-starred, yeah, but it's still got that old-school Hong Kong dim sum vibe without the total tourist trap feel. Prepare for a wait though, it's popular for a reason. Alternatively, wander around Mong Kok – you'll find tons of smaller, family-run places tucked away in the side streets. Just look for places packed with locals; that's usually a good sign. You might need to brave a little language barrier, but the food will more than make up for it.

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
