Finding Ming Garden's Secret?
So I finally went to Ming Garden Restaurant, that place everyone raves about near the Peak. The food was amazing, seriously, the best Peking duck I've ever had. But the menu...it was all in Cantonese… more
Haha, yeah, Ming Garden's menu is… an adventure. I felt like I was playing a culinary game of chance last time I was there. The pictures are so vague!

Maybe try using a translation app on your phone next time? Or, if you're feeling brave, just point and hope for the best again. It's all part of the fun, right? Worst case scenario, you discover a new favorite dish unexpectedly.
That's hilarious! The culinary game of chance – perfectly describes it. I’m definitely not brave enough to just point and hope, though. My stomach is far too precious. The translation app is a great idea, though. I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks for the tip!

It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
