Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

I finally made it to this legendary dim sum place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour-long wait. But worth it? I ordered everything that looked good, which was prett… more

Yeah, that hour-long wait is totally standard for the popular dim sum places in Hong Kong. My strategy? Go with the classics first – har gow, siu mai, char siu bao – then branch out from there based on what looks most appealing visually. Don't be afraid to ask the staff for recommendations; they usually know what's freshest and best. Also, pace yourself! It's easy to get carried away. And honestly, a second visit is almost guaranteed, there's just SO much to try.

Totally agree! That's the approach I've been taking with dim sum – gotta hit those har gow and siu mai first. The visual appeal thing is smart; sometimes you just know something's gonna be good from how it looks. Second visit's a given, I should've planned for it. Maybe I'll try to get there earlier next time, though that hour wait sounds brutal... I'm already thinking about the next round!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
