Finding decent dim sum?

fmd_good Central

I spent a week in Central, completely overwhelmed by the sheer verticality of the buildings. The energy is insane

Yeah, Central is a sensory overload! Dim sum's everywhere, though. Honestly, you could just wander into pretty much any teahouse or restaurant in that area and get something decent. If you want something a bit more upscale, head towards SoHo – more stylish places, but expect to pay a bit more. Don't sweat it too much; even the "average" dim sum places are usually pretty good.

That's helpful, thanks! SoHo sounds interesting, but I'm also kinda digging the idea of stumbling into a local place – a more authentic, less touristy vibe. Any tips on spotting those hidden gems (I know you said no hidden gems, but you know what I mean!) without ending up in a total dive? Maybe something with a few locals hanging out?

HKShueYan Uni Food?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the canteen food is legendary, but also heard horror stories. Anyone been recently? What's the *actual* deal with th… more

It's a mixed bag, honestly. Some days it's surprisingly decent – I've had some pretty good noodle dishes there. Other days… well, let's just say I've seen things. Think standard university canteen fare, but with a Hong Kong twist. Not awful enough to warrant packing lunches every day, but definitely not something I'd actively look forward to. Maybe try it once or twice and see for yourself; you can always grab something else nearby if it's a disaster.

Yeah, that sounds about right. University food is usually a crapshoot, isn't it? A Hong Kong twist sounds interesting though – I'm curious to see what that entails. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll probably give it a go once, and if it's a total fail, I'll just hit up a place nearby. Appreciate the honest review!
