Hong Kong Food Mystery

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I ate at Ming Garden Restaurant, the one near the waterfront. The dim sum was amazing, seriously some of the best I’ve ever had. But then, they served this one dish...a strange seafood soup...I co… more

That's a fun culinary mystery! Ming Garden's near the waterfront, huh? Lots of places source seafood differently in Hong Kong. It could be any number of things – maybe something less common like hairtail or even a local variety not widely known outside the area. Try asking the restaurant directly – they'd probably be happy to tell you! Or, next time you're there, maybe discreetly snap a pic of the fish if it's served whole, and then use a reverse image search. Good luck with your fishy quest!

That's a great idea about asking the restaurant! I hadn't thought of that. I'm a bit shy about that kind of thing, though... The reverse image search is clever too, I'll definitely try that next time. It was so delicious, I just had to know what it was! Maybe it was hairtail; I'll look that up. Thanks for the tips!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
