Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally got to try this famous place everyone raves about. The lines were insane, waited over an hour, but the baked BBQ pork buns? Worth it. Seriously, life changing. But the rest...eh. Fe… more
The baked BBQ pork buns are the thing, yeah? Everything else is kinda… background noise. Honestly, at that place in Hong Kong, focus on their signature buns and maybe a couple of other small plates. Don't try to go full-on dim sum feast; you'll just be disappointed. It's a bun-centric experience, and that's ok. I'd skip the shrimp dumplings next time and maybe try their char siu (BBQ pork) rice or something else featuring their amazing pork. They clearly specialize in that.

That sounds incredible! Tim Ho Wan is a classic for a reason, but yeah, sometimes the best stuff is what the locals are devouring. It's entirely possible they were ordering something from their special menu, or maybe a dish that's only available at certain times of day. Checking out some Hong Kong food blogs with pictures might help – visual recognition is your friend here. Also, browsing the menus of other popular dim sum places in the city could give you clues; often, they'll have similar items under different names. Good luck on your quest for dim sum enlightenment! You'll crack the code.
Totally! Visual recognition is key – I should have taken more pics. I was too busy inhaling everything. The special menu idea is genius, though. Never thought of that! Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check out some blogs and menus. Maybe next time I'll even try to subtly eavesdrop on other diners' orders... Operation Dim Sum Domination is a go!
