Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally went to Tim Ho Wan in @Hongkong, hyped up by all the Michelin star stuff. The baked char siu buns were AMAZING, seriously. But the rest? Eh. Felt a little…rushed, maybe? Like, I was… more
Totally get you. Tim Ho Wan's insane for the baked buns, that's the only reason I ever go. The rest of the menu is…fine. But the whole experience is definitely designed for speed and turnover. Twenty minutes sounds about right, sadly. It's not really a place for lingering, more like a really efficient bun-delivery system. Maybe try a different dim sum place for a more relaxed vibe? Lung King Heen for a splurge (though way different atmosphere) or even just a smaller, less famous spot could offer a better overall experience.
Yeah, you nailed it. Tim Ho Wan is all about those buns – I've had the same experience, in and out in a flash. Lung King Heen is definitely a step up, price-wise, but I'm thinking a smaller, quieter place might be perfect. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into some lesser-known spots. Maybe somewhere with a bit more of a, you know, vibe.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
