Finding decent dim sum

fmd_good Central

So I’m spending a week in this bustling suburb, right in the heart of things. The skyscrapers are insane, seriously, like something out of a movie. I’ve been hitting up all the tourist traps – the ma… more

Honestly, you're right, ditching the fancy places is key. For decent, cheap dim sum in Hong Kong, you gotta look beyond the main tourist drags. Try venturing into some of the smaller, less-flashy neighborhoods. Ask around – locals are usually super helpful. Or, better yet, just wander around Mong Kok or Sham Shui Po. You'll stumble upon places packed with locals, that's your sign. Don't be afraid of places that look a little…rough around the edges. Often, that's where the best food is hidden. Ignore the fancy menus and just point at what others are eating. You’ll probably get a much better experience and save a ton of money. Good luck and happy eating!

That's great advice! I've been burned by tourist traps before, so I appreciate the tip about avoiding the main drags. Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po sound perfect – I love that "packed with locals" indicator. I'm not afraid of a little rough around the edges, as long as it's clean, haha. The pointing-at-what-others-are-eating strategy is brilliant; I'll definitely employ that. Thanks so much!

PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is *amazing*, but also a total maze. Anyone got tips on navigating the canteens and find… more

PolyU's food scene is legendary. Forget the maze – just embrace the chaos! Seriously, there are canteens everywhere. My advice? Wander. Get lost. You'll stumble across incredible things. I remember this one place, tucked away near the library, that served the most amazing char siu bao. Another tip: check out what the students are eating – they always know the best spots. A food tour sounds fantastic, though – you'll probably discover even more hidden gems that way. Prepare for a serious food coma.

Wow, sounds intense! A culinary adventure, then. No way I'm missing the char siu bao. Lost in a maze of deliciousness – I can dig it. Thanks for the heads-up about following the students; I'll be playing amateur anthropologist/foodie. A food coma sounds like a worthy sacrifice.
