Dim Sum Dilemma?

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, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
