Best Dim Sum in Town?
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and Ming Garden keeps popping up. My friend swears it's the best dim sum they've ever had...but their menu online is, like, *totally* overwhelming. Seriously, a… more
Yeah, Ming Garden's menu is a beast! It's good, don't get me wrong, but for a classic, crowd-pleasing dim sum experience, you can't go wrong with their Har Gow. Seriously, everyone orders them. They're just that good. Perfectly translucent shrimp dumplings – the texture is amazing. Get a good steamer basket full; you won't regret it. Also, their siu mai are pretty solid too, a safer bet if you're feeling less adventurous.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
