Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
I wandered into Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong completely by accident, chasing a stray cat (don't judge, it was adorable!). The place is gorgeous, seriously – those carved wooden doors! I spent ages jus… more
Wow, that's a great story! Lui Seng Chun is indeed a stunner. It's a really well-preserved example of early 20th-century Hong Kong architecture, a tong lau (tenement building) with those incredible wooden details. I think it's had some restoration work done – a lot of these old buildings in @HongKong have needed it to prevent total collapse – but they've generally done a good job of keeping the original character. The "haunted" feeling... yeah, I get that. It's the quiet, the shadows, the way the light falls...it's all very atmospheric. There are probably some fascinating stories buried within those walls, for sure. Try searching for articles on tong laus in Central – you might uncover some historical context there. You're not alone in finding it magical.
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!
