Pizza Alternatives to Paisano's?
Looking for a place to grab a single slice of pizza without pre-ordering or committing to a whole pie. Paisano's is alright, but I'm curious if there are better options for a quick, casual slice.
For a quick slice, try Pizza Hut. They usually have individual slices available, though the quality isn't exactly artisan. It's convenient, though. Otherwise, you might have better luck looking at smaller, independent pizzerias – but be prepared to buy a whole pie. Single slices are a bit of a niche thing outside of chains in Hong Kong, from what I've seen.
Yeah, Pizza Hut is a fallback, I know. Thanks for the tip about the independent places though – I hadn't considered that the single-slice thing might be a chain-only thing here. Might have to bite the bullet and order a whole pie. Any recommendations for good independent spots you've come across?
PolyU Food Stalls?
I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about it. But I'm a picky eater… what are the *actu… more
The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup. Those are generally pretty mild. Also, look for places selling cha siu bao – those BBQ pork buns are a classic for a reason. Avoid anything that looks particularly…brightly coloured. That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
