Union Square's Secrets?

fmd_good Union Square

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, buzzing to finally check out this iconic spot everyone raves about. I've seen pictures – the bustling energy, the street performers…it's gonna be crazy.… more

Go early in the morning or late in the evening. The difference is night and day. Seriously. Weekdays are also less crazy than weekends. Find a smaller side street to duck into if you need a break from the throngs – there are tons of little cafes and shops tucked away. And dim sum? Don't just grab any place. Do some research beforehand – there are some absolute gems, and some tourist traps. Happy travels!

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
