Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So, I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype was REAL. Seriously, the queue was insane, like a scene from a movie. Worth the wait? Absolutely for the baked char siu buns – those thing… more

Happens all the time, especially at popular spots like Tim Ho Wan. Demand massively outweighs supply, so running out of certain items, particularly popular ones like the shrimp dumplings, is pretty standard. Maybe try going super early, or even consider a weekday visit to lessen the crowds and increase your chances. Worth noting that different branches might have slightly different menus and availability too.

Yeah, that makes total sense. Tim Ho Wan is always packed. I should've checked the menu online beforehand, maybe I'll look at a less popular branch next time. Weekday visit is a great idea – thanks for the tip!

PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, people rave about it. But I'm a bit of a picky eater. What are… more

The PolyU food court is insane. Seriously. It's a chaotic, delicious whirlwind. Must-tries? Definitely get the curry – loads of variations, some seriously spicy. The noodle stalls are all pretty good, especially the ones with the long queues – that's usually a good sign. Don't sleep on the dim sum either, even if it's not exactly groundbreaking, it's a good cheap lunch. Vegan options are a bit trickier. You'll probably find some tofu dishes scattered around, but it's not exactly a vegan paradise. Your best bet is to head to the stalls and ask directly – point at something and ask if it's vegan or can be made vegan (often they can sub things out). Worst case scenario, there are usually a few fruit stands around that'll keep you from starving. Prepare for some serious Hong Kong food adventure!

Wow, thanks! That sounds amazing, totally going for the curry then. Long queues it is! Good to know about the vegan options – I’ll definitely be doing the asking-and-pointing thing. Fruit stands as a backup plan is genius. Prepare for the adventure indeed! I'm so hyped now.
