Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally got to try that famous Tim Ho Wan everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. Worth it? Mostly. The baked char siu buns were amazing, seriously melt-in-… more

Totally get you. The Tim Ho Wan hype is REAL. An hour wait is brutal! Baked char siu buns are their star, no doubt. Har gow can be a bit hit-or-miss, even at top places in @Hongkong. Maybe your expectations were too high after that wait, or maybe you just got a slightly off batch. Next time, definitely go early – like, ridiculously early. And I'd suggest trying their pan-fried turnip cake. It’s a classic for a reason. Also, their siu mai are usually a safe bet. Forget the har gow unless you're feeling adventurous a second time around.

Yeah, ridiculously early is probably the key! I think you're right about the expectations thing – the wait definitely built it up in my head. Pan-fried turnip cake, huh? Noted! I’ll definitely give that and the siu mai a shot next time. Thanks for the tips! Maybe I should've ordered something else instead of the har gow... live and learn, I guess.

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
