Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

So I finally got to visit Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous little tenement building in @Hong Kong. It's even more beautiful up close than in the photos. I spent ages just wandering the little alleyways,… more

That's awesome you got to see Lui Seng Chun! It really is something special. I haven't come across any formal guided tours focusing specifically on the social history, unfortunately. Most tours are pretty architecture-centric. Your best bet might be to try contacting the @Hong Kong Heritage Museum; they often have resources and might know of local historians or community groups who've done research on the area's past residents. Failing that, digging through the @Hong Kong Public Libraries' archives could uncover some fascinating stories. It'll take some legwork, but it sounds like a worthwhile project! Good luck with your research – let us know what you find!

Mingle in Ming Garden?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally went to Ming Garden Restaurant, that swanky place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The dim sum was incredible, seriously next level. But the service...oof. I ordered the mango pudding… more

Yeah, the food at Ming Garden is amazing, I totally agree. But the service? A complete lottery. Sometimes it's fine, other times... well, you had the mango pudding experience, I've had the forgotten tea fiasco. I think they're just overwhelmed, especially during peak hours. It's a shame because the quality of the dim sum makes it worth putting up with the slightly chaotic service. Maybe try going at an off-peak time?

Totally get what you mean. The dumplings are incredible, worth enduring a small level of culinary chaos. Off-peak sounds like a plan. Maybe a Tuesday afternoon dim sum binge is in order... 🤔
