Kowloon Tsai's Secrets?

fmd_good Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground

I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. Heard the atmosphere is electric, but I'm a bit worried about getting there. The online directions are... confusing, to say… more

MTR is your friend. Get off at Mong Kok East station – it’s way closer than Prince Edward, trust me. The walk from the station to the sports ground isn't bad, but it'll be a zoo after the match. Seriously, the post-match exodus is a thing of legend. To avoid the scrum, head to the station before the final whistle. Like, ten minutes before. Even then, prepare for a bit of a squeeze. And yeah, that portable fan is a brilliant idea; you'll need it. Hong Kong in summer is no joke.

Ten minutes before the final whistle?! Wow, okay. Good call on the Mong Kok East station, I hadn't even considered that – Prince Edward was my initial thought. Sounds like I need to plan my escape route as carefully as a heist movie. A portable fan's definitely going on the packing list now, I shoulda known Hong Kong summers are brutal... thanks for the heads-up!

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
