Dim Sum Dilemma
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the legendary Michelin-starred dim sum place everyone raves about. The queue was, well, legendary too. Worth it? Absolutely. The baked BBQ pork buns… more
Totally get you. The baked BBQ pork buns are indeed something else. I've been to Tim Ho Wan a few times now, and honestly, I've found the quality varies wildly depending on the day and even the time of day. Sometimes the shrimp dumplings are amazing, other times...meh. It's almost like they're focusing all their magic on those buns and everything else is just… along for the ride. I wouldn't say it's just the buns, but they're definitely the star of the show. Don't feel bad about your shrimp dumpling experience; you're not alone.
Yeah, that's exactly it! The inconsistency is what's so frustrating. I had some incredible har gow there once, then the next time it was like they were filled with sadness. Seriously, the difference was night and day. Maybe it's the chef? Or maybe they just run out of steam by the end of the day. I'm starting to think I should just order a mountain of those BBQ pork buns and call it a day. They're consistently good, at least. Problem solved, right? (Although my cholesterol might disagree...)
Mingle in Ming Garden?
So I finally went to Ming Garden Restaurant, that swanky place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The dim sum was incredible, seriously next level. But the service...oof. I ordered the mango pudding… more
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?
