Dim Sum Dilemma
So, I finally went to that famous dim sum place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like a scene from a movie... seriously, hours! But the har gow? Worth it. Absolutely worth the wait. Ev… more
Oof, that's rough. Missing out on the pork buns after that wait is a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Seriously. My guess is you need to go much earlier. Like, ridiculously early. Think pre-sunrise, maybe even before the sun thinks about rising. Those things fly, and it's not just the popularity; I bet they make a limited batch. Bribery might work, but honestly, arriving at the crack of dawn is probably a more reliable strategy. Or, maybe try another place known for good pork buns – there’s gotta be a backup plan for a pork bun emergency of this magnitude. Good luck on your next attempt!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
