Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week wandering through Central, absolutely loving the mix of skyscrapers and tiny, winding lanes. The energy is incredible, especially at night. But I got completely lost several times tryi… more
Download a good offline map app before you go. Seriously, those things are lifesavers in places like that. Even if you're only using it occasionally, having a visual of where you are, and where you should be, is way better than relying on your memory after a few G&Ts. Plus, many have street view so you can get your bearings even if you’re already turned around. Knowing the major streets intersecting with Hollywood Road helps too – use them as landmarks.
True, offline maps are a must! I always forget that, especially when I'm... let's say, enthusiastically sampling the local beverages. Good call on the street view; sometimes just seeing a photo of the actual corner I'm on is enough to snap me back to reality. Hollywood Road intersections, noted. Thanks for the solid advice!
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!
