PolyU Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the food court's legendary. Seriously, stories abound. Anyone know if the hype is real? Did you find anything truly unique or unexpectedly… more

The PolyU food court? It's... a mixed bag. Don't go in expecting Michelin stars, but there are definitely some decent finds if you know where to look. Skip the obvious chains – you can get those anywhere. Instead, hunt around for the smaller stalls, the ones with long queues of students. That's usually a good sign. I remember this one place selling amazing char siu bao – seriously melt-in-your-mouth good. Also, the noodle stalls are generally pretty solid. It's not going to be some mind-blowing culinary experience, but you can definitely get a satisfying and relatively cheap meal. Just be prepared for crowds, especially during lunch.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured it wouldn't be gourmet, but I was hoping for more than just meh. Long queues are a good indicator though, I'll keep an eye out for those smaller stalls. Char siu bao... now you're talking! Thanks for the heads-up on the noodle places too, always a safe bet. Crowds are kinda expected, I guess, but hopefully, it's not a total free-for-all.

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.
