Finding the best noodle shop
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. I've heard the food scene around campus is amazing, but navigating a new city is always a bit overwhelming. Anyone know t… more
Honestly, forget the campus area. Head a little further down the road towards the residential neighborhoods. You'll find much better, more authentic noodle places there. They're usually smaller, less flashy, and packed with locals – that's your sign you've hit the jackpot. Look for places with lots of handwritten signs in Chinese, and don't worry if the menu isn't in English; just point at what looks good.
