Nam Cheong Park's Secret?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So, I'm heading to Nam Cheong Park in a few weeks – heard it’s lovely, especially near the ponds. I'm a total photography nerd, though. Anyone know the best time of day to catch that amazing golden… more

Golden hour at Nam Cheong Park is killer, especially around the ponds. Aim for about an hour before sunset – you'll get that gorgeous reflection. It's usually pretty busy then, though. For quieter shots, try venturing towards the far side of the park, near the more wooded areas. There are some less-trodden paths there, offering more secluded spots. Be aware, mosquitos can be a menace depending on the time of year, though. Pack some repellent! Good luck with your photography!

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!
