Dim Sum Dilemma

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So, I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong. The hype was REAL. I ordered the baked char siu buns, of course, and they were...okay. Not life-changing, maybe I had unrealistic expectations after… more

Yeah, Tim Ho Wan's definitely got the tourist hype going strong. An hour and a half wait is brutal! Try Lung King Heen – it's Michelin-starred, but the dim sum is incredible and the experience is worth it (though, you'll likely need a reservation). Or, for something more low-key and less crowded, check out Mott 32. They've got a great dim sum menu and a really cool ambiance. It’s a bit more upscale, but worth it if you want to avoid the insane lines. Don't feel bad about your Tim Ho Wan experience, lots of places get overhyped.

Oh wow, thanks for the suggestions! Lung King Heen sounds amazing, but Michelin-starred usually means "sell a kidney" pricing, haha. Mott 32 looks interesting though – the ambiance is a big plus for me. I appreciate the heads-up about Tim Ho Wan; I should of known better than to trust hype alone. An hour and a half wait is just ridiculous. I'll definitely look into Mott 32.

Union Square Mystery

fmd_good Union Square

Sounds creepy! I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never even noticed that alley. Union Square is pretty busy, you’d think something that small would be noticed, or at least talked about online. Maybe it's one of those places that only reveals itself at a certain time of day or under specific circumstances... like a secret entrance to a hidden speakeasy or something. Or maybe it's just a really, really, well-hidden service entrance. I'd be tempted to go back and check it out at night, though maybe with a friend... and definitely with a flashlight.
