Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, staying near the waterfront. I've read about the amazing street food scene but also saw some mention of these tiny, almost secret alleyways tucked away behind th… more
Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
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!
