Trends in Hong Kong
Ming Garden Mystery?
So I ate at Ming Garden Restaurant in @HongKong last week. The food was amazing, seriously some of the best dim sum I’ve ever had. But… there was this one older waiter, always lurking near the kitche… more
Nah, you're not alone. I've been to Ming Garden a few times and I totally remember that guy. He’s like… a permanent fixture. Creepy, but I figured he was just a super old employee who's seen it all. Maybe he's the owner's uncle or something, stuck there for life. Probably just a really intense observer of human nature. Or maybe he is a ghost. Who knows with Hong Kong? Plenty of weird stuff happens here. Didn't stop the dim sum from being delicious though, did it?
Haha, "permanent fixture" is perfect! I thought I was imagining things. He's so…unmoving. Like a really detailed statue. And yeah, the dim sum was amazing. Worth the slightly unsettling experience, I guess. Maybe I'll try to get a better look next time, see if I can figure out what his deal is. Or maybe I should just stick to enjoying the food and ignoring the potential ghost/intense observer. 🤔
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
