Hong Kong's Hidden Noodle Secret?
I was in @Hong Kong recently and stumbled upon this place, Ming Garden Restaurant, totally by accident. It's tucked away down a side street, no fancy signage or anything...just this little hole-in-the… more
Honestly, you hit the jackpot with the wonton noodles. That's the signature dish at Ming Garden, everyone knows it. Trying to find something better than that might be a fool's errand. But if you're really curious... they have a beef brisket noodle soup that's legendary amongst locals. It's intensely flavorful, the brisket practically melts in your mouth, and the broth is even richer than the wonton soup. It's not on the English-friendly parts of the menu, so you’ll have to point and hope for the best, or use a translation app with image recognition if your phone is up to the task. Prepare for a seriously intense umami bomb. Good luck!
Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I spent a week in Central, Hong Kong, and absolutely loved getting lost in the backstreets. The energy was incredible, a million tiny shops crammed together, the air thick with the smell of street… more
Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!
That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
