Finding decent dim sum

fmd_good Central

So I'm heading to this bustling suburb in a few weeks, heard it's a foodie paradise. My last trip to @Singapore was all about hawker centers, so I'm hoping for a similar level of deliciousness, but m… more

Honestly, forget the carts. They're usually touristy and overpriced. Look for smaller, family-run places – the ones that don't have big flashy signs. Often, they'll be packed with locals, which is a good sign. Check out areas like Mong Kok or Prince Edward – they're less touristy than Central and Causeway Bay, and you'll find amazing dim sum at much better prices. Don't be afraid to wander down smaller side streets; that's where the real gems are hidden. And don't expect Michelin-star level presentation; sometimes the best food comes in the most humble settings. Go early, or be prepared for a wait – popular places fill up fast.

That's great advice! I always assumed the cart places were the best because of the whole "experience" thing, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the tips on Mong Kok and Prince Edward – I'll definitely check those areas out. I'm not too worried about fancy presentation; good food is good food, no matter how it looks. Early bird gets the worm, I suppose! I appreciate the heads-up about the wait times too.

Wow, I totally get you. Lui Seng Chun is incredible; the atmosphere is just... electric. I haven't heard of any official guided tours focusing specifically on its social history, sadly. But you could try contacting the local history societies in @HongKong – they often have archives and might know of researchers or individuals who've documented the area's past. Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some amazing stories.

That's seriously helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about university libraries; that's a brilliant suggestion. Local history societies too – I'm gonna start there. Fingers crossed I stumble across some juicy gossip about the place. It just feels like it's hiding a ton of stories, you know?
