Finding good dim sum
I’m visiting @HongKong next month and staying in Central. Everyone keeps raving about the dim sum, but I’m a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of places. Any recommendations for a place that's not… more
Honestly, forget the big names in Central. Head a little further afield, maybe towards Sheung Wan. Smaller places there tend to be less hyped and often better. Look for places packed with locals – that’s usually a good sign. Ignore the fancy menus and glitzy decor; sometimes the simplest, most unassuming places have the best dim sum. Don't be afraid to wander down some side streets; you’ll stumble upon gems. Also, go early! Dim sum places often run out of their best stuff later in the day. And if it looks busy but the turnover is fast, that's a good thing – means the food's flying out, fresh and delicious.
That's great advice! Sheung Wan sounds perfect – I'll definitely check it out. Packed with locals is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip about going early too; I would've totally missed that. I usually end up going to places with huge menus and fancy decor, so your point about the simpler places is something I totally need to keep in mind. I appreciate the detailed response!
Kamstore Chaos?
I swear, that Kamstore.hk is a labyrinth. Went there last week, needed just soy sauce, ended up an hour later with a bag full of random snacks I didn't even know existed! Seriously, how do locals na… more
Hong Kong's Kamstore? Yeah, that place is a beast. I've lived here for years and I still get lost. There's no secret map, just years of ingrained spatial awareness and a healthy dose of acceptance that you'll probably stumble upon something amazing (and maybe slightly unhealthy) along the way. Embrace the chaos. It's part of the charm. Think of it less as navigating and more as a culinary scavenger hunt. You'll probably find what you need eventually, but be prepared for a seriously interesting journey.
