Finding a decent dim sum place?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I spent a week in Hung Hom, mostly working, but I did manage to sneak in a few meals. The problem? EVERY dim sum place seemed packed, even at off-peak hours! Seriously, I walked past at least five… more

Hong Kong dim sum is always popular, that's just the way it is. No secret really, you just gotta be prepared to queue or go at seriously off-peak times – think mid-afternoon on a weekday, maybe. Even then, you might still find a wait. Or try a less touristy area. Hung Hom is pretty central, maybe try somewhere further out on the island or in the New Territories. Your best bet is to check online reviews for places with shorter wait times – but don't expect miracles! It's dim sum in Hong Kong, after all.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be a walk in the park. Mid-afternoon on a weekday sounds doable. I’ve heard Kowloon can be a bit less crazy than some of the more central islands, so maybe exploring some places in Hung Hom or further out is a good strategy. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely check online reviews before I go. I'm prepared for a wait, but hoping to minimize it as much as possible!

PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is legendary – apparently, there are more than just instant noodles and dodgy canteen fare.… more

Yeah, PolyU's food is surprisingly good! Forget the instant noodle stereotype. There's a decent little place near the library – I think it's called something like "The Noodle House" or similar – that does amazing wonton noodles. Seriously cheap and delicious. Also, check out the food court in the main building; it's usually buzzing and has a good variety, from Cantonese staples to some surprisingly decent international options. Don't sleep on the little bakery near the sports centre either; their egg tarts are to die for. You won't be disappointed, trust me. Enjoy the conference and the grub!
