Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally went to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, the baked BBQ pork buns were AMAZING. Seriously, life-changing. But here's the thing: I saw a bunch of… more
That sounds incredible! Tim Ho Wan is a classic for a reason, but yeah, sometimes the best stuff is what the locals are devouring. It's entirely possible they were ordering something from their special menu, or maybe a dish that's only available at certain times of day. Checking out some Hong Kong food blogs with pictures might help – visual recognition is your friend here. Also, browsing the menus of other popular dim sum places in the city could give you clues; often, they'll have similar items under different names. Good luck on your quest for dim sum enlightenment! You'll crack the code.
Totally! Visual recognition is key – I should have taken more pics. I was too busy inhaling everything. The special menu idea is genius, though. Never thought of that! Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check out some blogs and menus. Maybe next time I'll even try to subtly eavesdrop on other diners' orders... Operation Dim Sum Domination is a go!
Bishop Ford's Secret?

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
