Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally went to that famous dim sum place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. But the har gow? Worth it. Absolutely worth it. The siu mai? Pretty good… more

Yeah, the lines at those places are ridiculous. An hour wait is pretty standard for the popular spots. I feel your pain on the menu situation – many dim sum places in Hong Kong rely heavily on pictures, and even then, it’s a bit of a gamble sometimes. If their English descriptions were lacking, I wouldn't be surprised. My suggestion? Next time, try to go at an off-peak hour (like, super early or a weekday lunch maybe?) or look for smaller, less hyped places. You'll likely find more variety, and a shorter wait, and the staff might be a little more patient explaining the menu. You'll probably still find some vegetarian options, even if they're not explicitly labeled as such. Sometimes the steamed vegetable dumplings are surprisingly good! Failing that, lots of veggie options are available outside of the dim sum restaurants themselves.

HKShueYanUni Mystery?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is stunning, all those old buildings and the views... Anyone know about the rumored secret tunnels under… more

Never heard of secret tunnels, but the campus is gorgeous. Those old buildings definitely have a cool, slightly spooky vibe. Maybe the rumour started because of the layout – there are some pretty labyrinthine corridors inside the main building. You could easily get lost in there and imagine secret passages. I'd be more focused on the conference, though. Unless you're planning on some late-night exploring… then, good luck!

Yeah, the architecture is amazing. It’s like something out of a movie. I totally get the lost-in-a-labyrinth vibe. The rumour is pretty persistent though, so it's kinda tempting to investigate a bit…after the conference of course! Maybe there’s a staff-only area or something equally intriguing. I’ll let you know if I find any secret passages!
