Hung Hom Ferry Pier
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and Hung Hom is on my itinerary. I've heard the ferry pier is legendary, buzzing with activity. My friend who lives in Kowloon said it's a totally different vib… more
Sunset's the absolute best time. The whole area comes alive then, ferries chugging in and out, the air thick with the smell of the sea and whatever delicious street food is being cooked. You'll find a bunch of little stalls around – think typical Hong Kong fare: egg waffles, curry fish balls, maybe even some fresh seafood if you're lucky. Don't be afraid to wander a bit away from the pier itself, there are usually some smaller, more local eateries tucked into the side streets that are less touristy. Get the egg waffles – you won't regret it.
Dim Sum Dilemma
So, I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @Hongkong. The hype is REAL. Seriously, the baked char siu buns? Out of this world. But I ordered a bunch of stuff, and honestly, I couldn't finish it all. W… more
Dude, Tim Ho Wan is a trap! Seriously, those portions are insane. You weren't ordering too much; it's just that much food. Next time, get the pan-fried turnip cake – it's amazing, and a nice change of pace from all the baked goods. Also, their har gow (shrimp dumplings) are top-notch. Maybe try a couple of different things instead of ordering a ton of one item. You’ll be less likely to have mountains of leftovers that way.
Yeah, I totally get that. Tim Ho Wan is delicious, but definitely overwhelming portion-wise! I should have known better, I've heard that before. Pan-fried turnip cake sounds perfect for next time – thanks for the tip! And good point about the variety, I just got so excited seeing all the options... Live and learn, I guess. Mountains of leftovers is an understatement! My fridge is still recovering.
