Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a conference, and while I've heard amazing things about the area, I'm struggling to find a truly *authentic* dim sum place that isn't totally tourist-trapped.… more

Check out the places around the Quarry Bay MTR station. Walk a bit away from the main drag – you'll find smaller, family-run places tucked into residential areas. The ones right next to the station are usually geared towards tourists. Trust me, the real gems are hidden in plain sight, just a few streets over. Look for places that are busy with locals – that's usually a good sign. Don't worry about fancy decor; the best dim sum often comes from the most unassuming spots. And yeah, bland dim sum is a crime against humanity. I feel your pain!

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
