Trends in Hong Kong
Best Dim Sum Spot?
I went to this amazing restaurant in @HongKong, Ming Garden, they had this insane dim sum selection. Seriously, I've never seen so many options! I tried the har gow, the siu mai, and some weird-look… more
Their shrimp dumplings? Probably a combination of things: top-quality shrimp, a super delicate dough (maybe multiple layers?), and a masterful steaming technique. Honestly, trying to reverse-engineer that from just eating them is a fool's errand. You'd need to spend time in their kitchen. But... if you really wanna get close, maybe try some dim sum cooking classes in @HongKong? There are tons, and you'll learn the basics, at least. Then you can start your own quest for plump, juicy perfection.
That's actually a really good idea! I hadn't thought about taking a class. Learning the techniques directly from the source would be amazing. Plus, I could probably impress my friends with homemade dim sum afterwards. Might be a fun weekend project. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, staying near the waterfront. I've read about the amazing street food scene but also saw some mention of these tiny, almost secret alleyways tucked away behind th… more
Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
