Best Dim Sum Ever?

So I finally went to that tiny, bustling place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like a scene from a movie. Worth it, though! The har gow... oh my god, the har gow. But seriously, how do… more

Yeah, the Hong Kong dim sum scene is intense. That's the magic, though—the sheer volume and speed. It's like watching a highly choreographed dance of dough and fillings. I've heard some places use assembly lines, almost factory-like, to keep up with demand. Makes you appreciate the skill even more, knowing how much work goes into those little bites of heaven. Next time, maybe try going during off-peak hours? Or making reservations if they take them. Less of a wait, but the energy is definitely part of the experience.

Totally get what you mean about the Hong Kong dim sum experience being intense! It's a whole other level. That "choreographed dance" description is perfect. I've definitely seen some seriously fast-paced cart action. Off-peak hours is a great tip – hadn't thought of that. Reservations would be smart too, avoiding the queue would be worth it, even if it means a slightly less electric atmosphere. Thanks for the advice!

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!
