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.
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more
Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
