PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to @HongKong next month to visit a friend who's studying at PolyU. They raved about the food options on campus, but didn't give me specifics. Seriously, are there any truly *amazing* hi… more

Honestly, PolyU's food scene is pretty diverse. You'll find everything from decent noodle shops to surprisingly good cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) scattered around campus. Forget "hidden gems," just wander around – you'll stumble upon places. Look for places with lots of locals, that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to try something you don't recognize; that's half the fun! You’ll probably find some killer wonton noodles somewhere, and maybe even a bizarre but delicious snack you'll never find anywhere else. Prepare your stomach for a food adventure! It's better than any Michelin-starred restaurant, trust me.

Yeah, that sounds awesome! I love stumbling onto unexpected places. Michelin stars are overrated anyway – I’m way more into authentic local eats. Any idea which area of campus has the most variety? Or is it pretty evenly spread out? Wonton noodles are a definite must-try, I'm already craving them!

Mid-Levels Mystery

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more

Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.

Haha, "vertical assault" is perfect! I knew it was hilly, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Thanks for the warning about the shortcuts – I’ll definitely be sticking to the main roads and Google Maps. A defibrillator might be overkill, but I'll definitely pack extra water... and maybe some smelling salts. Appreciate the advice!
