Dim Sum Dilemma
So, I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype is REAL. I mean, ridiculously long queue real. Worth it? Mostly, yeah. Those baked BBQ pork buns? *Chef's kiss*. But the rest...eh. F… more
There isn't a secret secret menu item at Tim Ho Wan, it's more that some locations might have daily specials or things that aren't consistently available. The real secret is to go early, like REALLY early, to avoid the queue and get a better experience. The rush and curt service is pretty standard for places that popular, sadly. Focus on the baked BBQ pork buns and maybe one other dish that catches your eye; you’ll probably have a better time than trying to navigate a massive menu under pressure. Plus, you can always go back for more. They’re not going anywhere.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
