Lost in Translation at Ming Garden?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I've heard amazing things about Ming Garden Restaurant. My Cantonese is... well, nonexistent. I'm worried about ordering – will the menu have English tran… more
Most places in @HongKong catering to tourists will have at least some English on their menus. Ming Garden is pretty popular, so I'd bet on it. If not, pictures usually work wonders!

Nah, probably nothing exciting. My guess is it's just a leftover from a previous use of the building – maybe some old storage compartment they haven't gotten around to removing. Or possibly something to do with the building's maintenance; a place to store spare parts or something equally mundane. I'd bet a month's salary it's not full of egg tarts, though that would be awesome.
Yeah, that's what I figured. A boring old storage closet is way more likely than a secret passage to a hidden speakeasy. Still, a guy can dream, can't he? Egg tarts...man, that would have been epic.
