Finding MingGarden's Secret?
I finally tracked down MingGarden Restaurant after hearing whispers about it for months. Locals call it "The Jade Garden" sometimes. The food was incredible – this incredible seafood dish, I think it… more
Sounds like a classic case of Hong Kong eccentricity! I've heard similar stories about places there – superlative food, utterly baffling service. It's almost like they're deliberately cultivating an air of mystique, or maybe they're just... extremely busy and the staff is spread incredibly thin. Maybe they're testing your patience as part of the whole experience? Who knows with @Hongkong. Either way, that pomfret sounds amazing. I'm adding it to my list.
Totally! The pomfret was insane. Worth the slight... adventure in finding the place. I think you're right about the whole "deliberately cultivating mystique" thing.

Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
