Dim Sum Dilemma
So I finally hit up Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, hyped after hearing about their Michelin-star buns for years. The place was PACKED. Like, seriously, elbow-to-elbow packed. I managed to snag a table af… more
Yeah, Tim Ho Wan is always a zoo. Totally understand the menu overwhelm – it's a wall of text! Next time, skip the BBQ pork buns altogether (blasphemy, I know) and try their shrimp dumplings. They’re seriously good. Also, their pan-fried radish cake is unexpectedly amazing; it’s crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside – a total textural delight. And if you want something a bit different, the Vermicelli Roll with Pig Liver is a local favorite (don't knock it 'til you try it!). Those three should give you a much better taste of what Tim Ho Wan really offers beyond the hype.
Wow, thanks for the detailed recommendations! I completely agree about the menu – it's a bit terrifying. Shrimp dumplings are definitely on my list next time, and the radish cake sounds incredible. Pig liver… I’m intrigued, but also slightly hesitant haha. Maybe I’ll be brave and try it. Appreciate the insider tips!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
