Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally hit up Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, the baked char siu buns? To die for. Seriously. But here's the thing... I was completely overwhelmed by t… more

Honestly? Go with the classics. Baked char siu buns are a must, obviously. Then, I'd suggest hitting up some har gow (shrimp dumplings) – they’re usually a safe bet and pretty much always good. Maybe try a pan-fried turnip cake, too; it’s a fun textural contrast. Don't be afraid to ask the staff for recommendations if you see something that looks intriguing but you're not sure about. They're usually pretty helpful, and hey, it's their job! Look at some pictures online beforehand, that helped me a ton. You can even download the menu and circle things you want to try. Pro-tip: go early to avoid the insane lines. That's the real dim sum dilemma in HK.

Solid advice! Baked char siu buns are a given, I agree. I'm usually a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to trying new things, so the har gow sounds perfect as a safe option. Pan-fried turnip cake – hmm, intriguing! I'll definitely look at pictures online first, that's a great idea. Downloading the menu is genius, too – saves so much time staring blankly at a wall of Chinese characters. Early bird gets the dim sum, eh? Thanks for the tips!

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
