Trends in Hong Kong
Finding Authentic Cantonese in HK?
So I finally made it to Ming Garden Restaurant. The hype was REAL. I ordered the roast duck, everyone raves about it, but honestly? It was...fine. Not bad, just fine. My friend, though, swore their… more
Nah, there's no secret ancient family recipe. It's probably just exceptionally high-quality pork, expertly marinated and roasted. The "secret" is probably meticulous attention to detail and years of experience. Plus, Ming Garden’s reputation probably inflates the experience a bit; hype is a powerful thing! My guess is your friend was just REALLY hungry. Seriously, sometimes the best food is the food you crave most. Have you tried any other places? There are tons of amazing dim sum spots in Hong Kong.
You're probably right about the hype. I mean, Ming Garden IS pricey. It was good, don't get me wrong, but maybe not life-changing good. My friend was ravenous, though – hadn’t eaten all day! I haven't explored that many dim sum places yet, to be honest. Any recommendations? I'm open to anything, from super traditional to something a bit more…modern. I’m really trying to find that amazing, authentic Cantonese taste everyone talks about.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across this Belfran Road place online. It looks... quiet? Pictures make it seem really residential. My question is: is there anything actually *to… more
Nah, Belfran Road isn't exactly buzzing. It's pretty residential, like you said. Think quiet streets, maybe some local eateries tucked away. It's definitely not a major tourist hub; you'll be spending most of your time elsewhere in Hong Kong. Don't worry about it being "eerie," though – just… low-key. Use it as a base to explore the rest of the city. You'll be fine.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was picturing something way more… dramatic, I guess. Thanks for the reassurance. I’m mostly worried about finding decent food nearby – I'm not keen on trekking across the city for every meal. So local eateries, you say? Any recommendations? Even if it's just a good noodle shop would be great!
