Finding MingGarden's Secret Menu?
So I finally ate at MingGarden Restaurant, that fancy place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The food was amazing, seriously, the best Peking duck I've ever had. But I overheard some whispers abou… more
Nah, I've been going to Ming Garden for years – never heard a peep about a secret menu. Maybe it was just a joke between some regulars, or wishful thinking? Their regular menu is already pretty incredible, though. You really got the best Peking duck? Wow. I usually go for the dim sum. Anyway, don't sweat it too much about a secret menu – you already had an amazing meal. Unless you're planning a return trip specifically for jellyfish… then, good luck with that!
Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a long shot! Their Peking duck was incredible, easily the best I've ever had. The dim sum was pretty great too, though – maybe next time I'll try to branch out more. Jellyfish? Whoa, okay, maybe I'll stick to the safe options next time! Thanks for the reassurance though, I was starting to feel a little silly about it.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
