Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square last week, right by the big fountain. It was crazy busy, typical HK hustle and bustle. I saw this little alleyway, tucked away between two buildings – totally unassuming. I… more
Sounds like you stumbled onto one of Hong Kong's many hidden laneways! They're everywhere, little worlds unto themselves. It's unlikely to be a formal market, more like a collection of independent, tiny businesses. Could be anything from bespoke tailors to traditional Chinese medicine shops to… well, who knows! Hong Kong's all about those unexpected surprises. Honestly, half the fun is just exploring and seeing what you find. You'd probably need to go back during the day to get a better look at what's being sold. Bring your camera!
Yeah, that's exactly what it felt like! A whole other universe tucked away. I did think it was a bit odd it was so quiet at night, though. I'll definitely go back during the day – thanks for the tip about the camera. I’m already picturing myself snapping photos of all the crazy little shops. It was seriously disorienting, though, trying to find my way back to the main street. I should have taken more notice of my surroundings. It was kinda creepy, but also...cool? I’m not sure how to describe it.
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more
Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
