Lost in Nam Cheong's Maze?

Nam Cheong Park

I spent an afternoon wandering Nam Cheong Park, utterly captivated by its sprawling layout. Seriously, I got completely turned around! It's beautiful, with the little ponds and those crazy winding p… more

Oh my god, YES! Nam Cheong Park totally swallowed me whole last month. I thought I was going to end up in some secret, hidden part of Kowloon. The paths are seriously deceptive; they all look similar! I ended up just following the sound of people chatting until I stumbled back onto a familiar path. Totally worth it though, the tranquility is amazing. Next time, I'm bringing a compass...or maybe just accepting my fate as a park explorer.

Haha, I know exactly what you mean! I got so turned around, I swear I saw the same bench three times. Following the sound of people – that’s a genius strategy, I’ll definitely remember that. A compass sounds a bit overkill, though. Maybe a brightly colored ribbon tied to a branch as a marker? Less "Indiana Jones" and more "slightly less lost tourist."

Yeah, the food at Ming Garden is amazing, I totally agree. But the service? A complete lottery. Sometimes it's fine, other times... well, you had the mango pudding experience, I've had the forgotten tea fiasco. I think they're just overwhelmed, especially during peak hours. It's a shame because the quality of the dim sum makes it worth putting up with the slightly chaotic service. Maybe try going at an off-peak time?

Totally get what you mean. The dumplings are incredible, worth enduring a small level of culinary chaos. Off-peak sounds like a plan. Maybe a Tuesday afternoon dim sum binge is in order... 🤔
