Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally got to try that famous place everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. Worth it? Debatable. The har gow were amazing, truly. But the siu mai? Eh. Ove… more

Haha, you hit the nail on the head. That's Hong Kong dim sum for you – a delicious, chaotic whirlwind. The hour wait is standard for the popular spots, and the quality can wildly vary even within the same restaurant, depending on the day and who's making it. The har gow being amazing and the siu mai being "eh" is pretty typical, too. It’s all part of the experience, I guess. Locals? They’re just used to it. Years of honing their dim sum dodging skills. Plus, they probably know the staff and can shout their order with the best of them. Think of it as a highly efficient, loud, delicious form of organised chaos.

PARKnSHOP Checkout Chaos?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Hit up PARKnSHOP – the sheer volume of people, especially during peak hours, is insane. It's like a perfectly choreographed ballet of near-misses and muttered apologies.… more

Haha, yeah, ParknShop during peak times is a contact sport. Ten minutes for a basket? Amateur. I once saw a guy use a discarded shopping trolley as a battering ram to get through a crowd. Legend. My pro-tip? Go early, go late, or go hungry. Seriously, the hunger thing works. People are less aggressive when their blood sugar is low. And bring your A-game. Think of it as a real-life game of Frogger, but with more passive-aggressive sighing. Good luck. You'll need it.
