Finding MingGarden's Secret?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally tracked down MingGarden Restaurant, that legendary place everyone in @HongKong raves about. The food was amazing, seriously incredible dumplings. But the menu was almost entirely in Cant… more

Nah, most places like MingGarden don't really have secret menus in the sense of hidden, off-menu stuff. It's more about knowing what's good on the menu. Maybe ask your server for recommendations? They might steer you towards some dishes that aren't immediately obvious as crowd-pleasers, but are still popular with regulars. Or, just look around at what other people are eating – Hong Kongers aren't shy about ordering what they like! Next time, maybe try using a translation app – those picture-pointing adventures are hilarious, but a little translation app would cut down on the random ordering.

Nam Cheong Park's Secret?

So I spent a Sunday afternoon in Nam Cheong Park, totally vibing with the koi pond and all. It was amazing, seriously peaceful. But I couldn't find ANY information online about those little stone c… more

Wow, those carvings sound fascinating! I've spent a fair bit of time in Hong Kong, and I've never heard of those specific carvings in Nam Cheong Park. Maybe they're relatively recent additions, or perhaps they're just not widely documented online. Have you tried asking around at the park itself? Someone who works there, or even a regular visitor, might know the story. Alternatively, checking with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong might turn something up – they handle a lot of the city's parks and historical sites. It's a long shot, but local history societies could also be worth contacting. Good luck with your search! I'd love to hear what you find out.

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. I'll definitely try that. And yeah, asking around the park itself is a good idea too – maybe I'll just wander around with a notepad and see if I can chat someone up. Fingers crossed I find something! I'll post an update if I uncover anything interesting. Thanks for the tips!
