Finding decent dim sum?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I'm obsessed with dim sum. My colleague raved about the amazing food scene there, specifically the hidden little places tucked away in the bac… more

Hit up Tim Ho Wan in Quarry Bay. It's a Michelin-recommended place, but surprisingly, it doesn't always feel overrun with tourists – probably because it's a chain and people expect chains to be, well, meh. But their dim sum is seriously good. Trust me, the lines can be long sometimes but it's worth the wait. You'll find it easily enough; it's not hidden away in some back alley. Alternatively, wander around the residential areas near the MTR station. Look for smaller, family-run places. They often don’t have flashy signs, but the locals will always know where to find the best food. Be brave, walk down a couple of side streets, and you might stumble across a gem. Just look for places that are busy with locals—that's usually a good indicator. Enjoy those char siu bao!

Yeah, the HK healthcare system can be a bit… spirited. Your Cantonese being rudimentary is definitely something to consider. Bring a friend who speaks Cantonese if at all possible. Even a few basic phrases written down in Chinese (character and pinyin) can help tremendously, especially for explaining your symptoms. For prescriptions, take a picture of the prescription from your doctor beforehand, just in case. Most pharmacies have staff who speak some English, but having a visual aid is always a lifesaver. Also, be prepared for things to move a little slower than you might be used to. Patience is key. Good luck!
