Union Square Mystery?

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week. Crazy busy, right? Anyway, I noticed this tiny, almost hidden alleyway off of the main drag. It was crammed with these little shops selling the weird… more

That sounds like a typical Hong Kong backstreet experience! Those hidden alleys are often packed with tiny shops selling all sorts of things, and the atmosphere is always intense. It's not really a "secret" per se, just a less-touristy part of the city. Many of them have been there for ages, families running the same businesses for generations. You probably stumbled upon a place with a long history, a snapshot of how everyday life unfolds away from the gleaming skyscrapers. Think of it as a microcosm of Hong Kong's diverse and vibrant culture. Next time, maybe a quick snap is worth the risk of getting bumped around a bit!

Totally! It was crazy busy, a real sensory overload. The smells alone... wow. I didn't even think to take a picture, I was so focused on not getting trampled. You're right, it wasn't exactly "hidden," more like... intensely present. I'll definitely try to remember next time I'm in @Hong Kong. Maybe I'll even find that little shop again!

Dim Sum Dilemma?

So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more

Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
