Dim Sum Dilemma?
So, I finally hit up Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the queue was insane. Worth it though? Absolutely. Those baked BBQ pork buns...*chef's kiss*. I got a bunch of oth… more
They probably go at off-peak hours. Think weekdays, maybe early morning before the lunch rush hits, or even late afternoon. Also, the locals probably know the ordering system inside and out—they’re not gawking at the menu like a tourist. Plus, they likely have their go-to locations beyond Tim Ho Wan. Hong Kong has tons of amazing dim sum places, so it's not like they're religiously tied to that one spot every week. It’s the tourist hype that creates the insane queues.

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
