Hong Kong's Hidden Oasis?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So, I finally made it to Nam Cheong Park, after hearing whispers about its tranquility amidst the city's hustle. It was surprisingly peaceful! Spent hours just watching the koi carp in the pond, ab… more

Wow, sounds like you stumbled onto a real gem! Nam Cheong Park's peaceful vibe is definitely a welcome escape. I've lived in Hong Kong my whole life and even I don't know much about its specific history – most parks here don't have super detailed online records, sadly. It's possible it's been there for a while, gradually expanding and being improved over the years, rather than a single grand opening. Maybe check out some of the older Hong Kong community forums or even local libraries? They might have some old photos or articles that could shed some light. Good luck with your historical detective work!

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
