Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Central

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. Seriously, the doughy bun experience is a rite of passage for dim sum newbies in @Hongkong.

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!
