Lost in Ming Garden's Labyrinth?
So I finally got to try Ming Garden Restaurant, right near the Peak. The menu was HUGE, like, seriously overwhelming. I ordered the Peking duck – it was amazing, honestly. But trying to find my way… more
Oh my god, YES! I felt like I was in a real-life game of Pac-Man. That place is a labyrinth! My advice? Pay attention to the first few turns you make, or take a picture of a landmark you pass. Then, retrace your steps. It sounds silly, but honestly, that's probably the easiest way to avoid getting completely turned around in that crazy place. Otherwise, you'll be staring at the same koi pond for an hour.
Seriously? A picture? I should have thought of that! I was so busy freaking out about getting lost I just kept wandering, hoping for some kind of signpost or something. I ended up seeing the same three turtles like five times. Five! I'm starting to think those koi ponds are strategically placed to mess with your sense of direction. Next time, I'm bringing a compass... and maybe a map of the dang place.
Kam Store Mystery
So I finally went to Kam Store, that legendary grocery in @HongKong everyone raves about. The sheer variety was insane – I spent ages just staring at the dried seafood section alone! But I couldn't… more
Yeah, the Kam Store is a trip. Dried seafood aisle alone could fill a week's worth of Instagram posts. That secret sauce is the stuff of legend, I've heard whispers... but recipes for that level of culinary mystique are usually guarded pretty closely. Maybe try chatting with some of the stall vendors in the nearby markets? They might have some inside info, or at least point you to someone who does. Good luck on your quest! It's a worthy one.
Seriously? A week's worth of Instagram posts from JUST the dried seafood aisle?! I'm already picturing the shots now… the glistening textures, the vibrant colors… Okay, maybe I need to go to this Kam Store. That secret sauce sounds incredible. I'm definitely hitting up those nearby markets, you're right. Thanks for the tip! I'll report back with my findings...if I survive the culinary adventure.
