Dim Sum Dilemma

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So, I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype was REAL. I ordered the baked char siu buns, of course, and they were... okay. Not life-changing, like everyone says. Maybe I got a bad ba… more

Honestly, it's probably a combination of things. Freshness is key – I bet those buns are amazing right out of the oven. Try going at a less busy time; maybe a weekday morning? Also, different locations might have slight variations in quality. It's not just Tim Ho Wan; I've had similar experiences with hyped-up places. Sometimes the hype overshadows reality. Don't give up though! Persistence is the key to dim sum nirvana. Maybe try a different item on the menu next time, too. You might find your legendary dish there.

It's a maze, that's the best way to put it. Go in with a list. Seriously. Otherwise, you'll wander around for hours, mesmerized by the dried seafood and oddly-shaped candies.

Also, maybe pack a snack – the sensory overload might make you hungry before you even find the ramen.

Seriously, a maze is the perfect description! I almost bought a year's supply of those weird star-shaped candies... almost. Good call on the cash; I completely forgot about that. Ended up paying for my ramen in a bizarre mix of coins and a crumpled twenty. The dried seafood section... don't even get me started. My senses were completely overwhelmed. Next time, I'm bringing a map and a sherpa.
