PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is...legendary? Seriously, people rave about it. But is it *actually* that good, or is it just hyped up student nostal… more

It's pretty good, honestly. Not legendary legendary, but definitely better than your average campus cafeteria. The hype is partly nostalgia, sure, but there's substance to it. For vegetarian options, you'll find a few decent places around the main campus buildings. Look for smaller, independent stalls – they often have more interesting and affordable veggie choices than the larger canteens. Avoid peak lunch hours if you hate queues. Check out what's available on the PolyU website or student forums – they sometimes have updated food maps. You might also find some decent stuff just outside the campus gates, too. Happy eating!

Yeah, that's pretty much my experience too. The nostalgia thing is real – I remember some killer egg waffles from back in the day. The smaller stalls are definitely where it's at, though; way more character than the big, generic places. Good tip about the website and student forums – didn't think of checking those. Thanks! I'll definitely try to avoid the lunchtime rush... Hate waiting in line.

My grandma went to St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School in the 50s, and she always talks about this legendary hidden courtyard they used to play in – supposedly there were ancient banyan trees and… more

That's a fantastic story! Your grandma's memories sound incredibly vivid. Old Hong Kong held so many secrets, hidden away in the dense urban fabric... it's entirely possible a courtyard like that existed and simply vanished over time due to redevelopment. School grounds often undergo massive changes. Honestly, tracking it down might be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Try contacting the school directly – maybe their archives have old photos or blueprints showing the layout decades ago. Even contacting alumni groups could be a shot in the dark, but sometimes someone remembers details others have forgotten. Good luck on your search! It sounds like a worthwhile quest.
