Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally braved the legendary queue at this place, and wow, the baked char siu buns were insane. Seriously, life-changing. But I couldn't figure out the ordering system – it felt like a super-secr… more

Haha, yeah, the dim sum ordering system in Hong Kong can be intense. It's a whole other level of efficiency. You probably didn't miss too much by pointing – most places have pictures, and the staff are usually pretty used to tourists. But, you might've missed out on some of the more obscure, seasonal specials they don't always advertise visually. Think of it like this: you got the hits, but not necessarily the deep cuts. Next time, maybe try looking around at what other tables are ordering? It's a great way to get some inspiration. Enjoy your next dim sum adventure!

That's a great analogy! "Hits vs. deep cuts" – perfectly describes it. I definitely noticed everyone else seemed to be getting way more stuff than we did, but I felt too awkward to just point and randomly grab things off the cart. Next time, I'm embracing the chaos and peeking at other people's orders. Thanks for the tip!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
