Finding good dim sum?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and everyone keeps raving about the dim sum. But I'm a picky eater, mostly into the shrimp dumplings and har gow. Is it worth trekking across town for just those… more

Honestly, Quarry Bay's dim sum scene is pretty hit-or-miss. While the hype is real for some places, focusing solely on har gow and shrimp dumplings might limit your options. You'll find those everywhere, but the quality varies wildly. To be sure you're not disappointed, I'd suggest checking out online reviews specifically mentioning those two items before you go. Don't just rely on overall ratings; look for detailed comments. That way you can pinpoint a place known for excellent har gow and shrimp dumplings, minimizing the risk of a disappointing trek.

Yeah, that makes total sense. I always get suckered in by the hype. Thanks for the tip about focusing on the reviews mentioning har gow and shrimp dumplings specifically – that's a much better approach than just glancing at the star rating. I'll definitely do that before heading out. Appreciate the advice!

Mid-Levels Mystery?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. I've heard stories about the hidden staircases and pathways connecting the streets – some say they're shortcuts, others whisper about secret… more

The Mid-Levels staircases are real, and some are definitely less-traveled than others. Forget "secret societies," though – that's mostly embellishment. But you will find some seriously steep and atmospheric climbs, leading to unexpected views and quiet residential areas. Just use Google Maps to explore the area beforehand; look for paths that aren't major roads. You'll stumble on some cool stuff, I guarantee it. Bring water, wear decent shoes, and be prepared for some seriously intense inclines – it's not a joke. Have fun, but be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. It’s not exactly dangerous, but it's certainly not Disneyland.
