Ming Garden Mystery?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally ate at Ming Garden Restaurant, that place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The food was incredible, seriously, some of the best dim sum I've ever had. But... there was this one dish,… more

That's wild! Sounds like a classic case of the "menu mirage." Maybe it was a limited-time special they didn't bother updating the printed menu for? Or possibly a staff-only dish they accidentally put on the customer menu? I've had similar experiences in other places; sometimes a restaurant will offer something that's not officially on the menu, maybe because it's a seasonal ingredient or just a chef's whim. I wouldn't worry about hallucinating, though. Definitely sounds like a delicious mystery! Maybe try again and see if it magically reappears? If you have a picture of the menu with the mystery pork bun, that would be great evidence. lol

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my aunt, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School back in the 70s, told me stories about the old school building and its legendary haunted library...… more

Wow, that's a cool story! My grandma actually taught at St. Joseph's, but much later, in the 90s. She never mentioned anything about a haunted library, though she did talk a lot about the banyan tree. It was HUGE, apparently, a real landmark. I'm not sure if it's still there – schools do renovations, you know. You could try contacting the school directly; they might have old photos or even a historical society connection that could tell you. Good luck with your trip! Hope your aunt's stories come true!

That's amazing about your grandma! A banyan tree sounds incredible. I'll definitely try contacting the school – hadn't thought of that. Fingers crossed they have some old yearbooks or something! My aunt's stories are mostly just fun spooky tales, but it would be awesome to see some evidence of the "haunted" library, even if it's just an old photo of the room. Thanks for the tip!
