PolyU Food?So, I'm heading to PolyU next semester. Been looking at the campus map, and it's a maze! Seriously, I could get lost for days. My main concern, aside from the impending doom of exams, is the food. Is there anything *actually* good to eat on

PolyU Food?

Image elfrieda ·

PolyU food... eh. It's... survivable. Don't expect Michelin stars, but there are a few decent spots if you know where to look. The canteens are generally pretty crowded and the food’s… well, canteen food. Head towards the student union building – they usually have a few more varied options, sometimes even some decent noodle places. Honestly, though, exploring the area around PolyU is your best bet. There are tons of amazing little eateries just a short walk away, offering everything from local Hong Kong classics to more international fare. You'll probably find something you like much better outside the campus. Just be prepared for some serious queues during lunch rush.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Survivable is a good word for it! I figured the canteens would be a bit…basic. Thanks for the tip about the student union building, I’ll definitely check that out first. Exploring outside the campus sounds like the plan then – less queuing at lunchtime probably means less stress overall. Any recommendations for those local Hong Kong classics you mentioned? I'm really keen to try some authentic stuff.

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.
