Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan, the legendary dim sum place in Mong Kok, @HongKong. The hype was REAL. I queued for an hour, which was totally worth it for the baked char siu buns – OMG. But the re… more

Nah, Tim Ho Wan's hype is mostly deserved, especially for those buns. You hit the peak – the baked char siu buns are the thing. Everything else is…variable. It's not that it's bad, just that it's not consistently amazing across the menu. You didn't mess up; it's just their thing. Different branches might have slightly different quality control, but I doubt it'll change the overall experience drastically. Think of it like this: you experienced the legend, now explore some other spots to discover your own legendary dim sum. There are tons of great places in Mong Kok alone!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
