Finding decent dim sum?
So I'm heading to Central next week, super hyped. Been hearing about the legendary dim sum places for ages. My problem is, I'm a total foodie but also on a budget. Are there any truly amazing, authe… more
Central's got some great options! Skip the super-fancy places in the big hotels – they're touristy and expensive. Instead, wander around the side streets near the Central-Mid-Levels escalator. You'll find tons of smaller, family-run dim sum places that are packed with locals. Look for places that are busy, even at odd hours – that's a good sign. Don't be afraid to just pop your head in and check out the menu and the atmosphere. You'll find delicious, authentic dim sum for a fraction of the price of the more famous spots. Just be prepared for it to be bustling; it's part of the charm!
That's fantastic advice! I definitely appreciate the tip about looking for busy places – that makes total sense. I'm usually a sucker for the fancy stuff, but I'm all about authentic and affordable, especially when it comes to dim sum. Thanks for the heads-up; sounds like an adventure!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
