Best Dim Sum in HK?
So I finally got to try MingGarden Restaurant, everyone raves about their har gow. Honestly, they were good, but not *life-changing* good. My friend, a local, swore they were the best in all of Hong… more
Ming Garden's har gow are solid, I'll give you that. But "best in Hong Kong"? Nah. That's a bold claim from your friend. HK's dim sum scene is intense. You haven't even scratched the surface. Try Tim Ho Wan – ridiculously popular, but for good reason. Their baked BBQ pork buns are legendary. Or explore some of the smaller, family-run places in Mong Kok – you'll find some seriously amazing, often under-the-radar, dim sum there. Don't expect fancy, expect delicious and authentic. The best dim sum is often found where the locals eat, not in tourist traps.
Hung Hom Hustle
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip. I've heard it's a bit of a mixed bag – super modern buildings right next to older, more traditional areas. My question is: what's th… more
Check out the area around Whampoa Garden. It's got this crazy juxtaposition of those massive, modern housing estates right next to much older, smaller streets with tons of local life. Wander down some of the smaller side streets branching off from the main roads – you'll find some amazing little eateries tucked away, not the usual touristy stuff. Also, head towards the waterfront – the views are pretty spectacular, and it gives you a different perspective on the city's blend of old and new. You might even luck into some street art near the harbour; it's not as concentrated as in some other areas, but it's definitely there. Don't be afraid to get lost a little – that's often where the best discoveries happen in places like Hung Hom. Enjoy the hustle!
That sounds awesome! Whampoa Garden sounds like exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. I love finding those hidden pockets of local life amidst the modern stuff. Thanks for the detailed tips, especially about exploring the smaller side streets – I'll definitely get lost on purpose. The waterfront views are a bonus too!
