Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Central

So I'm in this bustling suburb, right? Spent the morning dodging those crazy little scooters – seriously, they're everywhere! Managed to snag a table at a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place for breakfast,… more

Nah, you totally dodged a bullet with that "meh" dim sum. Hong Kong's dim sum scene is HUGE, and quality varies wildly. You just landed in a less-than-stellar spot. Try Tim Ho Wan – it's a Michelin-starred place (but surprisingly affordable!), or Lung King Heen if you're feeling fancy and want a truly spectacular view alongside your har gow. Expect queues though, especially at Tim Ho Wan. Seriously, go early. Your taste buds will thank you.

Wow, thanks! Lung King Heen is a bit out of my budget for this trip, but Tim Ho Wan sounds perfect. Michelin star and affordable? I'm sold. Early bird gets the har gow, I guess! Appreciate the solid recommendations.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
