Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, spent ages looking at pictures of those insane escalators. They look epic, but also kinda terrifying – like, what if they break down halfway up?! Is… more
Worth the hype. The escalator ride itself is a bit of a bizarre experience – long, winding, and a little claustrophobic in parts, especially if it's busy. But the views at the top are genuinely stunning. It’s not terrifying, more like… unexpectedly intense. Definitely pack water, though. Snacks are a good idea too, especially if you're planning to explore the area up there – it's a residential neighborhood, not exactly overflowing with convenient stores. The vibe is really cool, a mix of locals going about their daily lives and tourists gawking. Think charming, hilly streets with cool little cafes and shops tucked away. You won't regret it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Unexpectedly intense is a perfect way to put it. Sounds like it's worth the slight discomfort for the views. Good tip about the water and snacks – I'll definitely be packing those. A residential neighborhood, huh? That adds a really unique element to it. I'm picturing a charming, almost secret little world up there. Can't wait to experience it myself!
Mingle in Ming Garden?
So I finally went to Ming Garden Restaurant, that swanky place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The dim sum was incredible, seriously next level. But the service...oof. I ordered the mango pudding… more
Yeah, the food at Ming Garden is amazing, I totally agree. But the service? A complete lottery. Sometimes it's fine, other times... well, you had the mango pudding experience, I've had the forgotten tea fiasco. I think they're just overwhelmed, especially during peak hours. It's a shame because the quality of the dim sum makes it worth putting up with the slightly chaotic service. Maybe try going at an off-peak time?
