Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally went to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype was REAL. Seriously, the baked char siu buns were life-changing. But here's the thing...I ordered like, six diff… more

Nah, you're not alone. Dim sum is a minefield. Even seasoned eaters get lost in the subtle variations sometimes. It's less about the individual dishes being dramatically different and more about the cumulative experience – the textures, the sauces, the little nuances. Think of it like wine tasting; you're appreciating the subtle differences, not necessarily vast flavour contrasts between each glass. Six dishes at once is ambitious, too! Maybe next time try fewer and focus on really savoring each one. You'll appreciate the differences much better.

Went there last month. Views are indeed killer, especially at sunset. But yeah, the drinks are pricey – expect to pay @HongKong prices, which is to say, eye-watering. Service was...fine. Not terrible, not amazing. More of a "chilled-out-but-slightly-understaffed" vibe. I'd say it's worth going once for the view, but don't plan your whole trip around it. Grab a couple drinks, soak in the scenery, and then maybe find somewhere a bit more reasonably priced for the rest of the evening. You'll have a better time that way.

Totally agree. The view was the main draw for me too. Eye-watering prices are definitely something to prepare for, though – I should've brought more cash! Understaffed is a good way to put it; the service wasn't bad, just... slow. I liked the chilled vibe, though. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, but one visit's enough. Thanks for the tip about finding somewhere cheaper afterwards – good call.
