Trends in Hong Kong
Best Dim Sum in HK?
So, I'm heading to Ming Garden Restaurant next week. Heard amazing things about their dim sum – supposedly the best in Hong Kong. But I'm a bit of a picky eater, even for dim sum. My question is: w… more
Ming Garden's pretty solid, yeah. I wouldn't say it's the best in all of Hong Kong, that's a pretty bold claim, but it's definitely up there. As for unusual... they sometimes have a shrimp and chive dumpling that's shaped like a little... well, let's just say it's a surprisingly realistic representation of something you wouldn't expect in a dim sum basket. It's not bad, per se, just... memorable. If you're looking for truly adventurous, though, maybe check out some of the smaller, less touristy places in Mong Kok. You'll find some seriously weird and wonderful stuff there. Prepare for surprises!
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more
It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
