Dim Sum Dilemma
So I finally hit up Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. Worth it? Mostly. The baked char siu buns were incredible, lived up… more
It's definitely a Tim Ho Wan experience, but probably not the definitive one. The insane queues are part of the legend, so you got that authentic element down. The baked char siu buns being amazing is pretty standard across the board from what I've heard. The rest being 'eh'… yeah, that's pretty common too. They're known more for efficiency than super-attentive service. I'd say you experienced the typical Tim Ho Wan rush, not necessarily a "bad day." Think of it like this: you got the hit single; the rest of the album is kinda filler.
Yeah, that's a pretty accurate summary. I figured the hype was maybe a bit overblown. The char siu buns were insane, though. Seriously, best I've ever had. The rest…meh. Definitely wouldn't go out of my way again, but I can check it off the list. Thanks for the perspective!
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?
