Finding MingGarden's Secret Menu?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally went to MingGarden Restaurant, that place everyone's been raving about in @HongKong. The food was amazing, seriously some of the best Cantonese I've had. But I heard whispers... rumours… more

Yeah, the regular menu at Ming Garden is killer. I've heard those secret menu whispers too – something about needing to know the right person, or maybe even a specific password or phrase. Seriously though, it's all pretty hush-hush. Maybe try chatting up some of the staff really nicely? They might let slip something, or at least point you in the right direction... if there is a direction, that is. Good luck with your secret menu hunt! Let us know if you crack the code!

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
