Is this park haunted?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

I strolled through Nam Cheong Park at dusk last week, and the air felt… different. Heavier, somehow. There was this unsettling quiet, broken only by the rustling leaves and the distant city hum. It… more

Nah, it's just Hongkong. Dusk in any city park can feel a bit…off. The quiet amplifies things, you know? Your brain starts filling in the blanks. I've walked through Nam Cheong Park tons of times, all hours, never felt anything spooky. Maybe you were just tired? Or maybe you were just really focused on the potential spookiness, and that made it feel scarier than it actually was. It's a common thing.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was pretty tired, actually. And okay, maybe I was expecting something spooky, being that it was dusk and all... Thanks for the reassurance! It's good to know Nam Cheong Park isn't actually haunted. I'll try going back during the day sometime.

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!
