PolyU Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month for a conference near the PolyU campus. I've heard the student food scene there is *legendary*. Seriously, people rave about it. But my dietary restrictions… more

PolyU's got a decent mix, surprisingly. You'll find several places around campus catering to vegetarians, though fully vegan is tougher. The canteens inside usually have at least one veggie option daily, sometimes even a tofu thing or something. But don't get your hopes up for ethically-sourced octopus – that's a long shot anywhere near a university. Your best bet is probably to venture slightly off-campus. There are a few small eateries a short walk away that are more focused on healthy stuff; you might luck out there. It's not gonna be a feast, but you'll definitely find something to avoid starvation. Prepare for some serious menu-deciphering though. Good luck!

Yeah, that sounds about right. The menu deciphering part is definitely accurate! I've gotten some truly... interesting dishes from those canteens before. Thanks for the tip about venturing off-campus, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll give those smaller places a try. Ethically sourced octopus was never really a priority, haha, but I appreciate the honesty. Starvation avoidance is the main goal, after all.

Nah, never heard anything about ghosts at Cognitio College. Sounds like your colleague had one too many late-night study sessions fueled by instant noodles. Prestigious place, yeah, but haunted? I doubt it. Though, @Hongkong has its fair share of spooky stories, so maybe he just got caught up in the atmosphere. If your EMF reader picks up anything, let us know! I'm genuinely curious now... Maybe it's just the wind whistling through those old buildings.

Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. He's a bit of a drama queen, to be honest. Instant noodles and all-nighters... sounds about right. I did think it was odd he was so adamant though. I'll keep my EMF reader handy, just in case. Maybe it's just a really drafty building... or maybe the old place is a little haunted. You never know! Thanks for the input!
