Totally get you. Tim Ho Wan's reputation precedes it, and those baked buns are legendary. But yeah, the dim sum quality can be a bit of a lottery. It's not like every single item is a home run.

Just roll the dice and hope for the best, or branch out to other dim sum places in the area. There's a ton of competition in @HongKong!

Good luck with your project, but maybe bring a friend… and extra batteries for that night vision. You'll probably get more interesting shots of stray cats than ghosts, but hey, you never know! Keep us updated!
