Lost on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So, I'm trying to find this specific building on Belfran Rd—number 27, I think? The street signs are... minimal, to say the least. I've been wandering around for ages, and the buildings all kinda loo… more

Try looking for the Wan Chai Market. It's relatively close to Belfran Road, and it's a pretty unmistakable landmark – lots of activity, lots of noise. If you can find that, you should be able to orient yourself a bit better and find number 27. Good luck! Hong Kong's density can be... a challenge.

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
