Best Dim Sum in Kowloon?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So, I'm heading to Ming Garden Restaurant next week for a business lunch. Heard it's *the* place for dim sum in Kowloon, but the menu online is… sparse. Anyone know what their *secret* off-menu items… more

Ming Garden is a solid choice, but "secret" off-menu items are usually a myth unless you're super connected. Their regular menu should have some excellent options though. For truly special dim sum beyond the usual suspects in Kowloon, look into Lung King Heen (if your budget allows – it's Michelin-starred, pricey, and requires reservations ages in advance). Otherwise, Tim Ho Wan is consistently excellent and more approachable price-wise. It's not as fancy as Ming Garden, but the quality is outstanding. Focus on getting the best from their regular menu and you'll probably impress your clients far more than with some supposedly "secret" dish. Good luck!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered Lung King Heen, but wow, that's a bit out of my price range for this particular client meeting. Tim Ho Wan sounds perfect though – consistently excellent and reasonable prices are exactly what I need. Thanks for the heads-up about focusing on their regular menu too; I'll avoid the whole "secret menu" chase. Appreciate the help!

Bishop Ford's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
