Lost My Way in Canaan

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a friend's graduation. Heard the campus is HUGE and kinda like a maze. Anyone got tips on navigating it without getting hopelessly lost? Ser… more

Download the campus map to your phone before you go. Seriously, do it now. Print a paper copy too, just in case your phone dies (and it will at the worst possible moment). Also, Saint Too Canaan College probably has a mobile app with a map function – check their website. That's your best bet. Forget the GPS tracker; it'll just add to the stress. And yeah, those sneaky students might be onto something...

Good point about the paper map! I never even thought of that, phone battery is always a nightmare. I'll check out the college app too, hadn't realized they had one. Thanks for the heads-up; I was about to start freaking out completely. Seriously, I should of been more prepared.

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!
