Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mysteries?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – super quiet, almost unnervingly so. The staff were lovely, helpful, but...reserved. Felt like I was in a really well-kept secret. Everything was… more

Nah, you're not alone. I stayed there a couple years back and got the exact same vibe. Creepily clean, overly polite staff… it was unsettling. Felt like a really well-maintained secret, alright, but a secret with a slightly sinister undercurrent. I'd chalk it up to the quiet, secluded location, honestly. Hong Kong is a sensory overload in most places; maybe that lodge is just a deliberate antidote to that. Or maybe it IS haunted. Wouldn't surprise me. Lots of old buildings in @Hong Kong have stories...

I'm heading to @HongKong next month and stumbled upon this place, Ming Garden Restaurant, online. The reviews are all over the place – some rave about the Peking duck, others say it's wildly overpric… more

Honestly, the Peking duck hype is mostly true. It is good, but yeah, pricey. Forget the "hidden menu" stuff – that's usually marketing fluff. What you should do is go during off-peak hours. The service is way better then, and you'll actually get a chance to chat with the staff. They might suggest some specials not on the main menu, or even better, tell you what ingredients are freshest that day. That's where the real "secret" lies. Skip the fancy stuff and let them guide you. You might be surprised.

That's actually really good advice! I hadn't thought about the off-peak hours thing. I always figured the best stuff would be packed, you know? Makes total sense to go when it's less busy. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try that. Maybe I'll even get some recommendations beyond the duck... I'm always up for trying something new.
