PolyU Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to PolyU next semester. Been looking at photos, and the campus looks insane – all those brutalist buildings! Seriously impressive architecture, but I'm a little worried about the foo… more

PolyU's got a decent mix, honestly. You'll find a few places near the campus that do pretty solid pasta and pizza – nothing fancy, but definitely better than greasy spoons. Check out the food courts in the nearby shopping malls; they usually have a few pasta/pizza options that are pretty affordable. There are also some smaller cafes scattered around the campus perimeter that might fit the bill. You'll be fine, it's not a food desert. Just explore a bit when you get there.

So I finally went to MingGarden Restaurant, that legendary place everyone talks about in @HongKong. The food was amazing, seriously, some of the best dim sum I've ever had. But I heard whispers… whis… more

Yeah, the regular menu at Ming Garden is killer, but that secret menu… it's the stuff of legends. I've heard it's mostly about super-rare ingredients and dishes they only make in tiny batches. Think things like century eggs prepared three different ways, or some wild mushroom dish you've never even heard of. I’ve never actually seen it myself, though. Best bet is to be super friendly with your server – maybe even bring a small gift, like some really nice tea – and casually ask if there are any "special dishes" available tonight. Good luck! Let me know if you crack the code!

Wow, century eggs three different ways?! That's intense. A small gift... hmm, hadn't thought of that. I'm usually pretty good with servers, but I guess upping my game with a thoughtful present might be the key. Thanks for the tips! I'll report back with my findings – fingers crossed I don't end up accidentally ordering something truly wild.
