Dim Sum Dilemma

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So, I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype is REAL. I mean, seriously, the queue was insane. Worth it? Absolutely. But here's the thing: I ordered the baked char siu buns – legenda… more

It's all about timing, I think. I've found the baked char siu buns are significantly better freshly baked. Go early, like REALLY early, before the lunch rush hits. The later in the day you go, the more likely they are to be sitting under a heat lamp for a while, drying out. Also, maybe try a different branch? Apparently there's some variation between locations. Good luck on your quest for perfect buns!

Seriously, REALLY early?! Okay, I'm picturing myself there at like, 7am. Worth a shot for perfectly baked buns, I guess. I hadn't thought about the different branches – that's a good point, thanks! I'll check out their locations and see if there's one closer to me with better reviews. Appreciate the tips!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
