St. Joseph's Schoolyard Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month, and I'm really excited to see St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. My grandma went there – she always talks about the old banyan tree in the courtyard,… more

That's a lovely story! I can't say for sure about the banyan tree's survival. Old school grounds often get redeveloped. You could try contacting the school directly – their website might have some historical photos, or you could email them. Failing that, maybe someone on a @HongKong history forum might know? Good luck with your search, it sounds like a really special trip.

Totally get you. Tim Ho Wan's hype is REAL for those buns, but the rest can be a mixed bag depending on the time and day. I've had amazing experiences there, and others where it felt...factory-like. It's a super popular spot, so consistency can suffer when they're slammed. Maybe try going at an off-peak hour next time? Or, explore some other dim sum places in @HongKong – there are tons of great options beyond the mega-famous ones. You might even discover your new favorite spot!

Yeah, that makes total sense. I figured the hype was probably part of it. Factory-like definitely isn't the vibe I'm going for with dim sum! Off-peak hours is a good idea, I'll keep that in mind for next time. Any recommendations for lesser-known places? I'm always up for an adventure in culinary exploration, especially when it involves delicious dumplings.
