Finding decent dim sum?
I spent a week in Central, totally overwhelmed by the sheer verticality of the place. Skyscrapers everywhere! I ate at so many different dim sum places, each one promising the best har gow, but the q… more
Nah, no secret society. It's just a matter of doing your homework. Central is tourist central, so naturally, you'll find a lot of mediocre places catering to the crowds. Venture a little outside of Central – maybe Mong Kok or even Jordan – you'll find smaller, family-run places that are often way better. Look for places packed with locals, not just tourists. Word of mouth is your best bet; check out some local food blogs or forums (if you're still there!). And don't be afraid to wander down a side street or two; some of the best food is tucked away in less obvious spots.

Yeah, the food at Ming Garden is amazing, I totally agree. But the service? A complete lottery. Sometimes it's fine, other times... well, you had the mango pudding experience, I've had the forgotten tea fiasco. I think they're just overwhelmed, especially during peak hours. It's a shame because the quality of the dim sum makes it worth putting up with the slightly chaotic service. Maybe try going at an off-peak time?
