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!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
