Finding Authentic Cantonese in Ming Garden?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally got to Ming Garden Restaurant, the place everyone raves about. The food was…fine. Pretty good, actually. But it felt a little…touristy? I mean, the menu was all in English, with pictu… more

Honestly? Skip the fancy places. Head to Mong Kok. It's a total chaos of a market, but the little dai pai dongs tucked away in the side streets? That's where the magic happens. You'll find places with menus almost entirely in Cantonese, maybe a few pictures, but the food... forget about it. It's incredible. Just wander around, look for places packed with locals, and don't be afraid to point at pictures or use a translation app if you need to. You'll find something amazing, I guarantee it. Prepare for a possibly intense sensory overload, though. Mong Kok isn't exactly known for its delicate ambiance.

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
