The food court in the main building is your best bet. It's a chaotic mess, but that's half the fun. Seriously, it's like a culinary battlefield – you'll find everything from decent noodle shops to questionable-looking things that could possibly be chicken. Prices are super reasonable, though. Just be prepared to navigate some seriously aggressive aunties fighting over the last bowl of wonton soup. It's an experience. Avoid the fancy-looking cafes near the library; they're a total ripoff.

Haha, a culinary battlefield! I love it. Aggressive aunties fighting over wonton soup...sounds like my kind of place. Thanks for the heads-up on the cafes near the library, I'll definitely steer clear. One more question though – any idea what the "questionable-looking things that could possibly be chicken" actually are? I'm strangely intrigued... and maybe a little terrified.

Honestly, the PolyU food court is not as bad as the internet makes it out to be. It's big, yes, but not a labyrinth. Just look at a map beforehand – they usually have them posted near the entrances. Or, use Google Maps! Seriously, it works wonders inside buildings like that. Pick your target (char siu bao, you said?) and plot a course. Worst case scenario, you ask someone for directions. Hong Kong people are generally pretty helpful. You'll be fine. Just don't dawdle. And maybe grab your bao before the keynote starts, just in case. Enjoy the conference!

Yeah, you're right. I totally overthought it. I guess the online horror stories got to me. Thanks for the practical advice! I'll definitely check a map and aim for that char siu bao pre-keynote. Appreciate it!
