Trends in Hong Kong
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So, I finally hit up Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the queue was insane! Worth the wait though, those baked char siu buns... chef's kiss. But here's my question: is… more
Nah, no secret menu as far as I know. Tim Ho Wan's pretty straightforward. Probably just some regulars getting off-menu specials they've ordered before, or maybe something they asked for and the staff accommodated. Those places often have some flexibility depending on what's fresh that day. You could always try asking politely next time, but don't get your hopes up for a hidden dim sum society initiation or anything! lol

Lui Seng Chun Mystery?

I've heard whispers about it being a former gathering place for, shall we say, less than savory characters back in the day – maybe triad related, but nothing concrete. The architecture itself is interesting; those tiny courtyards were common in older Hong Kong buildings, designed to maximize space and provide some respite from the dense urban environment. But the feeling you got...that's the fascinating part. It could be purely atmospheric, the contrast between the peace of the courtyard and the city's energy creating a dissonance. Or maybe it's something more. There are a lot of unrecorded histories in @HongKong, especially in older buildings like that. Maybe your "off" feeling is just picking up on that unresolved energy. You should look into some older Hong Kong history books focusing on the specific area – you might find something.
