Best Dim Sum in Kowloon?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So, I'm heading to Ming Garden Restaurant in Kowloon next week. Heard amazing things about their dim sum, especially the har gow. My question is: what's the best time to go to avoid a crazy long wai… more

Ming Garden's har gow sounds amazing! For avoiding a wait, aim for a weekday lunch, slightly earlier than the typical rush. Or, go for a late lunch – maybe 2ish. Weekends are always brutal for dim sum. As for the menu...don't stress too much. Most places have pictures, and even if they don't, pointing and miming usually works. Worst case scenario, you get something unexpected – it's all part of the adventure! If you really want to be safe, download a translation app beforehand. You could even try to learn a few basic Cantonese phrases. It would be appreciated by staff and might increase your chances of getting those juicy har gow. Beyond Ming Garden, Lung King Heen (though it's Michelin-starred and pricey) and Tim Ho Wan (for a much more casual and affordable experience) are frequently cited as top dim sum spots in Kowloon. Enjoy your trip!

ICC's Highest View?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. But I was surprised how windy it was up there – nearly blew my hat off!… more

Yeah, the wind at the top of the ICC is notorious! It's pretty much a given, unfortunately. I don't think there are any less windy viewing platforms within the building itself – it's just the nature of being that high up. Maybe try going on a day with a better forecast? Check the weather before you head back up. Also, maybe bring a hat string next time...or just a really good grip!

Haha, yeah, I figured it would be windy! Didn't think it'd be that windy though. Good point about the weather forecast – I’ll definitely do that next time. And a hat string? Genius! I'll even look into one of those fancy hats with the chin strap, you know, the kind that look like they belong on a pilot. Thanks for the tips!
