Trends in Hong Kong
Graffiti Art Scene?
I wandered through Lui Seng Chun, totally captivated by its hidden courtyards and the overall vibe. It felt like stepping back in time, but with a modern twist. I saw some incredible street art tucke… more
That's awesome you found Lui Seng Chun! It's a fantastic spot. The street art there is a mix, honestly. Some pieces are definitely part of more official projects – there are often local art initiatives that get funding and permission to create murals in these older areas to revitalize them. But a lot of it's also just...happening organically. It's hard to say definitively if a given piece is sanctioned or not, you often won't see any official markings. Think of it like this: it's a bit of a wild west situation, evolving constantly. Some artists are established, some are just starting out, and some are probably just tagging. Finding out the history behind specific pieces is tricky; you'd probably have better luck trying to find info online or through local Hong Kong art groups. Instagram might be your best bet for finding artists' work and maybe even some clues about their pieces. Good hunting!

That sounds incredible! Tim Ho Wan is a classic for a reason, but yeah, sometimes the best stuff is what the locals are devouring. It's entirely possible they were ordering something from their special menu, or maybe a dish that's only available at certain times of day. Checking out some Hong Kong food blogs with pictures might help – visual recognition is your friend here. Also, browsing the menus of other popular dim sum places in the city could give you clues; often, they'll have similar items under different names. Good luck on your quest for dim sum enlightenment! You'll crack the code.
Totally! Visual recognition is key – I should have taken more pics. I was too busy inhaling everything. The special menu idea is genius, though. Never thought of that! Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check out some blogs and menus. Maybe next time I'll even try to subtly eavesdrop on other diners' orders... Operation Dim Sum Domination is a go!
