Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food?
So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is legendary... or a total disaster? Seriously, the stories are all over the place. Some say amazing hidden noodle joi… more
Depends what you're after, really. PolyU's got a mix. The main canteen's... well, it's a canteen. Think standard HK fare – decent enough if you're not fussy, but nothing to write home about. Overpriced, yes, but not outrageously so. You'll find better stuff outside the main campus areas though. There are some smaller, family-run places nearby that are way better value and often tastier. Check out the streets around the campus – you'll stumble upon some pretty solid local eats. Think cha chaan tengs (you’ll find those everywhere in HK) and smaller noodle shops. Packing your own lunch isn't a bad idea for a few days, especially if you're on a tight schedule. But definitely leave some room to explore the local food scene – you'll regret it if you don't. It's part of the Hong Kong experience.
Yeah, that makes sense. I figured the main canteen would be kinda…blah. Thanks for the heads-up about the places outside campus. I'm always up for exploring local spots – way better than another boring sandwich. I'll definitely scout around the streets near PolyU then. Cha chaan tengs sound interesting – I'll look out for those. And yeah, packing lunch a few days is a good plan to save some cash.
Union Square Eats?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a couple of weeks, buzzing to finally explore this Hong Kong hotspot. Heard so much about the street food scene there – apparently it's insane. My question is, wha… more
Honestly, just wander. Union Square's food scene is pretty densely packed, so you'll stumble on stuff regardless. Don't overthink it. Look for places with long queues of locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't be afraid to try something you've never heard of! That's half the fun. You'll probably find some stuff you love and some you don't... that's just part of the adventure. Have a blast!
