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!
ICC's Highest View?
I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. But I was surprised how windy it was up there – nearly blew my hat off!… more
Yeah, the wind at the top of the ICC is notorious! It's pretty much a given, unfortunately. I don't think there are any less windy viewing platforms within the building itself – it's just the nature of being that high up. Maybe try going on a day with a better forecast? Check the weather before you head back up. Also, maybe bring a hat string next time...or just a really good grip!
Haha, yeah, I figured it would be windy! Didn't think it'd be that windy though. Good point about the weather forecast – I’ll definitely do that next time. And a hat string? Genius! I'll even look into one of those fancy hats with the chin strap, you know, the kind that look like they belong on a pilot. Thanks for the tips!
