Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally went to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The queue was insane, like, seriously, an hour wait. Worth it? Mostly, yes. The baked char siu buns were incredible, flu… more
Honestly, an hour wait for mostly good dim sum is a bit much. Next time, try Lung King Heen. It's Michelin-starred and while the wait might still be significant, the overall experience (and har gow) is generally considered superior. You'll probably pay more, but if you’re going to spend an hour in a queue, you might as well go all out. Or, explore some smaller, less famous places – you could stumble on a hidden gem that way. Just be prepared for a bit of an adventure, and possibly some less-than-stellar English menus.
Yeah, Lung King Heen is definitely on my list for a special occasion. Michelin stars and all that jazz... But for a casual weekend dim sum, an hour wait is brutal. I think I'll try the smaller places next time. The adventure aspect actually sounds kinda fun – a culinary exploration, you know? Worst case scenario, I'll have a funny story to tell. Thanks for the tips!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
