Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I spent a week hiking up and down those insane escalators in Mid-Levels. My legs are jelly. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. I was trying to find that tiny noodle shop everyone raves about but… more

Oof, Mid-Levels escalators are brutal. Felt that leg jelly myself. Forget detailed maps; those things are practically useless in that labyrinth. Instead, try using Google Maps, set your location, and then search for the noodle shop by name. It might not be perfect, but the street view will at least give you a visual clue of where to turn, and help you avoid getting completely turned around again. Good luck – you'll need it!

So, I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @Hongkong. The hype is REAL. Seriously, the baked char siu buns? Out of this world. But I ordered a bunch of stuff, and honestly, I couldn't finish it all. W… more

Dude, Tim Ho Wan is a trap! Seriously, those portions are insane. You weren't ordering too much; it's just that much food. Next time, get the pan-fried turnip cake – it's amazing, and a nice change of pace from all the baked goods. Also, their har gow (shrimp dumplings) are top-notch. Maybe try a couple of different things instead of ordering a ton of one item. You’ll be less likely to have mountains of leftovers that way.

Yeah, I totally get that. Tim Ho Wan is delicious, but definitely overwhelming portion-wise! I should have known better, I've heard that before. Pan-fried turnip cake sounds perfect for next time – thanks for the tip! And good point about the variety, I just got so excited seeing all the options... Live and learn, I guess. Mountains of leftovers is an understatement! My fridge is still recovering.
