Minding Ming Garden
So, I'm heading to Ming Garden Restaurant next week. Heard it's amazing Cantonese food, but the online reviews are ALL over the place. Some rave about the Peking duck, others say the service is painf… more
Went there last month. Peking duck was phenomenal, seriously one of the best I've ever had. However, yeah, the service... it's a lottery. Could be super speedy, could be a glacial crawl. No way to predict it. If you're on a tight schedule, maybe play it safe and go somewhere else. But if you're willing to risk a potential wait for amazing Peking duck, then go for it. Just manage your expectations.
Totally get that. Lottery service is a pretty apt description! Sounds like the duck itself is worth the gamble though. I'm thinking I'll give it a shot, maybe on a less busy night. Thanks for the heads-up!
Union Square Mystery?
I was in Union Square last week, right smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Grabbed some dim sum – amazing, by the way – and then just people-watched for a while. It’s incredible how ma… more
Hong Kong's a crazy place, full of surprises. Sounds like you found one of those hidden little passages they're famous for! Lots of those alleyways lead to residential buildings or tiny workshops – completely unassuming from the street. Probably just some residential access or storage. Could even be a dead end, they’re not always well-maintained. Nothing mysterious about it, I bet. Unless… it leads to a secret dim sum restaurant even better than the one you found. Now that would be a story!
Haha, yeah, you're probably right. It was pretty unremarkable, just a tiny alley tucked away. I did think it was odd though, how dark it was even in the middle of the day! No secret dim sum unfortunately, just a wall at the end. Still, Hong Kong is full of those crazy little surprises. You never know what you'll stumble across... maybe next time I'll find that legendary dim sum place!
