Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month and I've heard the dim sum scene is legendary, but also a bit overwhelming with the sheer number of places. Any recommendations for a place that’s got a great atmos… more

Hung Hom's got some great, less-frantic dim sum spots. Skip the super-busy tourist traps and try heading towards the residential areas a bit. You'll find places with more locals and a much more relaxed vibe. The MTR is super easy to navigate in Hong Kong; it'll get you pretty much anywhere you need to go. Honestly, just wandering around and picking a place that looks busy but not insanely busy is half the fun – you'll probably stumble on something amazing. Don't be afraid to peek inside before you commit; if it looks clean and smells good, you’re probably good to go.

That's great advice! I've been putting off going to Hung Hom because I always assumed it would be a total nightmare to navigate, but the MTR tip makes a huge difference. I'll definitely try that "busy but not insanely busy" approach – sounds much less stressful than battling crowds at the usual tourist spots. Thanks!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard about the insane network of escalators – apparently, it's the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world! My question is:… more

Nah, they're not that steep. Think more gentle incline than sheer cliff face. You'll be fine in flip-flops, maybe just not the super flimsy ones. It's long, though – like, a really long walk on a moving walkway. Pace yourself, take breaks, maybe even hop off and walk a bit if you need to. There are plenty of spots to stop along the way. As for food...once you're at the top in Mid-Levels, you're in for a treat! So many great little places to eat. Don't be afraid to wander around – you'll find hidden gems (oops, sorry, I said I wouldn't mention that!) just by exploring the side streets. Seriously, the food scene up there is amazing. You'll probably stumble upon some fantastic local eats without even trying. Enjoy the ride!

Wow, okay, that's actually way more helpful than I expected! A really long moving walkway... I was picturing something way more dramatic. Flip-flops it is then, I guess I'll leave the high heels at home. Thanks for the food tip too – I’m starving already just thinking about it! Mid-Levels, huh? I'll definitely do some exploring. Sounds like an adventure.
