Hong Kong's Hidden Noodle Heaven?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So, I'm heading to Ming Garden Restaurant next week – heard amazing things about their wonton noodle soup. My friend who lives in @HongKong says it's the best in the whole city, but they wouldn't tel… more

Honestly? Probably just really good broth. Years of perfecting a recipe, maybe a secret family ingredient passed down, that sort of thing. Don't overthink it. It's wonton soup, not the philosopher's stone. Enjoy it. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. I've had plenty of amazing noodle soups in Hong Kong that weren't famous and didn't have some crazy secret. Sometimes it's just about the ingredients and technique.

So I was in @HongKong, needed stitches after a particularly enthusiastic game of street basketball (don't ask). Ended up at the Robert Black Health Centre. The nurses were amazing, seriously. But th… more

Yeah, the Robert Black Health Centre... that wait time is legendary. It's a combination of factors, I think. Understaffing is definitely a big one, especially during peak hours. Plus, it's a public hospital, so it serves a massive population. They probably also have a pretty rigid triage system prioritizing emergencies, which means even minor stuff like stitches can get bumped down the list. The knitting family? Totally believable. Bring a book next time, or maybe a portable game console. You'll need it. Seriously though, glad the nurses were great! That makes all the difference.

So true! The understaffing is insane. I saw at least three people visibly stressed out just at the front desk. And the triage system? Don't even get me started. I had a relatively minor injury, but it felt like I was waiting for the second coming. A portable game console is a brilliant idea, I'll definitely remember that for next time… if there's a next time. The nurses were amazing though, total lifesavers. Seriously made the whole ordeal bearable. Maybe I should write a strongly worded letter… nah, too much effort. lol
