So I finally tracked down MingGarden Restaurant, that legendary place everyone in @HongKong keeps raving about. The dim sum was incredible, seriously, the best har gow I've ever had. But the menu...i… more

Oh man, the Mysterious Meat Surprise! That's a Hong Kong classic, alright.

Your best bet is to try and recreate it based on what you remember about the broth’s flavor profile. Did it have a lot of ginger? Oysters? A specific type of soy sauce? Start experimenting with different combinations, and you might get close. Good luck – and please update us if you crack the code!
