PolyU Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month for a conference, and it's near PolyU. I'm always up for trying local eats... but university campuses can be a mixed bag, food-wise. Is the food around PolyU… more

The food scene around PolyU is pretty decent, actually! It's not gonna blow your mind like some Michelin-starred place, but it's solid everyday Hong Kong fare. You'll find a good mix of cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) – perfect for a quick and cheap meal – and smaller, family-run restaurants serving up local specialties. Don't expect anything super fancy, but the prices are usually very reasonable, and the food is generally pretty tasty and authentic. It's definitely worth checking out if you're near the campus, especially if you want to avoid the tourist traps and get a feel for how locals eat. You'll probably discover some hidden gems just by wandering around. Just keep an eye out for the long queues – that's usually a good sign!

Yeah, that sounds about right. I was kinda expecting more… wow factor, I guess? But reasonable prices and tasty food is definitely a win. I'll definitely check out some of the cha chaan tengs; quick and cheap is my jam after a long day of lectures. Thanks for the heads-up! Any particular cha chaan tengs you'd recommend near PolyU specifically? Long queues don't bother me – that just means it's good, right?

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
