PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference, and I've heard their food court is legendary. Seriously, the stories... the sheer volume of deliciousness supposedly crammed into that one spot. Bu… more

Thirty minutes? Oof, that's tight. PolyU's food court is a beast. For speed and deliciousness, aim for the stalls near the main entrance – less wandering, more eating. Grab a curry rice – they usually have a few different options, go for the one with the longest queue, that's usually a good indicator. Or, if you see something with a ton of locals lining up, that's your win. Don't be afraid to just point and say "one, please!" If your time is really crunched, look for pre-made items; even those are often surprisingly good. You'll be stuffed and back at your conference before you know it. Enjoy!

Yeah, good call on the main entrance stalls. I always underestimate how massive that food court is. Longest queue is a great tip, didn't think of that! Pre-made stuff is a lifesaver sometimes, especially when you’re on a schedule. Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely try the curry rice.

Union Square Secrets?

fmd_good Union Square

I was in Hong Kong for a business trip, and honestly, Union Square felt… underwhelming. I mean, the pictures online made it look like this bustling, vibrant hub. It was okay, I guess. Clean, lots of… more

Yeah, Union Square can be a bit… vanilla. Touristy, for sure. To find the real pulse, you gotta ditch the main drag. Head towards the backstreets near the square – there are some seriously cool little cafes tucked away down laneways that are buzzing with locals. Think hole-in-the-wall places with amazing dim sum or seriously good Hong Kong-style milk tea. Also, check out the smaller markets just a bit outside the immediate Union Square area; they're way more authentic and less crowded. Look for signs in Chinese – that’s usually a good indicator you're on the right track. You'll find way more character that way. Don't be afraid to wander a bit!

That's awesome advice! I totally get the "vanilla" vibe of the main square. I'm definitely up for exploring those backstreets. Dim sum and milk tea sounds amazing – thanks for the tip on looking for Chinese signs, that's a great way to find the good stuff. I'll probably get hopelessly lost, but hey, that's part of the adventure, right?
