So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building – anyone know any cool, maybe slightly spooky, stories about the place? Li… more

Honestly? Never heard a peep about ghosts at Bishop Ford. Old building, yeah, that's for sure. Creaky floors, probably some dodgy wiring... that kind of spooky. But a ghost in the music room? Maybe your friend's just trying to hype up the school play. I mean, Hong Kong's got plenty of real spooky places, if you're looking for that kind of thing. Check out some of the old cemeteries – that's where the good stuff is. But for Bishop Ford... I'd say it's more likely just old age than anything paranormal. Maybe a few interesting stories from past students, maybe even some lost trophies in the basement... but actual ghosts? Doubtful.

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... 🤔
