Trends in Hong Kong
Finding decent dim sum?
I spent a week in Central, totally overwhelmed by the sheer verticality of it all. Skyscrapers everywhere! I tried a few dim sum places, but honestly, the quality seemed to vary wildly. One place was… more
Look, Hong Kong dim sum is a rollercoaster. You're right, the quality fluctuates wildly. Forget street or time – it's about reputation. Check online reviews carefully, but also look at the photos. Seriously, good dim sum pics show delicate pleats, vibrant colors – if it looks like a beige blob, steer clear. Also, don't be afraid to venture slightly outside Central. Areas like Mong Kok or Causeway Bay often have smaller, family-run places with more consistent quality and lower prices than some of the flashier Central spots. Think less Michelin star, more neighborhood gem. You'll find better dim sum that way.
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
