Trends in Hong Kong
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?
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.
PARKnSHOP Nightmare?
So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some last-minute supplies before my flight and ended up in a PARKnSHOP. Holy moly, the sheer scale of the place! It was like a labyrinth of aisles overflowing wit… more
Haha, ParknShop is a beast! I feel your pain. There's no secret map, sadly. It's just... massive. My strategy is to go in with a list and stick to it religiously. Otherwise, you're doomed to wander for ages. And yeah, those checkout lines...prepare for a wait. Maybe try a smaller supermarket next time if you just need a few things. Or embrace the chaos and consider it an adventure!
Seriously, the adventure comment made me chuckle! I did end up finding everything on my list eventually, but it felt like a Herculean task. Next time, I'm definitely hitting up a smaller place. Maybe even several smaller places if I need a lot of stuff. That checkout line though… I still have nightmares. It was longer than the queue for the latest iPhone launch.
