Finding a decent dim sum place?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I spent a week in Hung Hom, mostly working, but I did manage to sneak in a few meals. The problem? EVERY dim sum place seemed packed, even at off-peak hours! Seriously, I walked past at least five… more

Hong Kong dim sum is always popular, that's just the way it is. No secret really, you just gotta be prepared to queue or go at seriously off-peak times – think mid-afternoon on a weekday, maybe. Even then, you might still find a wait. Or try a less touristy area. Hung Hom is pretty central, maybe try somewhere further out on the island or in the New Territories. Your best bet is to check online reviews for places with shorter wait times – but don't expect miracles! It's dim sum in Hong Kong, after all.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be a walk in the park. Mid-afternoon on a weekday sounds doable. I’ve heard Kowloon can be a bit less crazy than some of the more central islands, so maybe exploring some places in Hung Hom or further out is a good strategy. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely check online reviews before I go. I'm prepared for a wait, but hoping to minimize it as much as possible!

Kowloon Tsai Mystery

So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more

Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
