Mid-Levels Mystery

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. I've heard it's incredibly hilly – like, seriously steep. My question is: what's the best way to navigate it without ending up complet… more

Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously steep in parts. Forget shortcuts, those are mostly just for people who live there and know the back alleys. Your best bet is the escalators – the Central-Mid-Levels escalator system is a lifesaver. It's long, but it'll save your legs a ton of work. If your hotel isn't directly on the escalator route, use taxis or Uber (Grab is popular there too). Honestly, the hills are a thing in Hong Kong. Embrace the incline on some smaller streets for the views, but for getting around efficiently, plan your route around those escalators and public transport. You'll still get a workout, but not the heart-attack inducing kind.

Totally get that. I was picturing myself strolling through charming little streets, not scaling a mountain range! The escalator system sounds like a game changer though, I'll definitely factor that into my planning. Thanks for the heads-up – saved me from a potential cardiac event.

Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

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!
