PolyU Food?
So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the canteen food is legendary...or at least, *legendary* in the way only uni canteen food can be. Seriously though, is it actually any good?… more
Depends what you're into, really. The PolyU canteens are...a mixed bag. There's usually at least one decent noodle stall, often with ridiculously long queues. Prepare to wait. They're usually good, though – the kind of intensely flavourful, MSG-laden goodness that keeps you coming back for more. Avoid the "western" food options unless you're desperate. Think soggy chips and suspiciously grey chicken. There’s usually a small selection of healthier stuff – salads, maybe some rice dishes – but it’s often a bit…sad. Better to just power through the noodle situation. You'll also probably find a few little shops selling things like egg waffles or bubble tea outside the main canteens. They’re often better than the canteen food tbh. Check out what's near your conference venue; you might find some better options nearby, but honestly, the legendary canteen status is...mostly legendary for its sheer volume of students and the resulting chaotic energy. Manage your expectations!
Haha, yeah, that sounds about right. The long queues are legendary, aren't they? I've definitely experienced the "intensely flavourful, MSG-laden goodness" before – it's an acquired taste, but addictive! I’ll skip the western food then, thanks for the heads-up. Egg waffles and bubble tea outside sounds promising though; I'll keep an eye out for those. My conference is in the main building, so I guess I'm stuck with the canteen options mostly. Might just bring snacks, to be safe. Thanks for the advice!
Kowloon Tsai's Secret?
So I finally went to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground for a local football match. The atmosphere was ELECTRIC! Seriously, the energy from the crowd was unlike anything I've experienced at a game back home… more
Dude, that's awesome you caught a match at Kowloon Tsai! The atmosphere there is insane. For post-match grub, ditch the tourist traps and head towards the backstreets near Prince Edward MTR station. There's a whole bunch of little dai pai dongs and street food stalls tucked away – seriously, you'll find the real deal there. Look for places with lots of locals, that's your best bet. Expect chaos, incredible smells, and amazing food. You won't regret it. Just be prepared to navigate a little; that's part of the adventure!
Wow, thanks! Prince Edward MTR station, got it. Chaos and amazing food sounds exactly like my kind of post-match meal. I'm already picturing it – the bustling streets, the crazy smells… I can almost taste it now. Definitely up for a little navigational adventure. Appreciate the tip!
