Finding Belfran Rd peace?
I wandered down Belfran Rd last week, trying to escape the @HongKong chaos. It was surprisingly quiet, a little oasis tucked away. I saw some amazing street art – seriously impressive stuff – and th… more
Yeah, Belfran Road's a weird one. Quiet, pretty...and utterly devoid of decent coffee. I've walked it a few times myself, always hoping to stumble on some hidden gem, but no luck. Maybe the locals all get their caffeine fix elsewhere and keep it a secret? Or perhaps the jasmine scent is so potent it overrides the need for coffee... who knows?! I’ve resorted to grabbing a coffee before hitting that street. Sucks, I know.
Totally get you. Belfran Road is beautiful, that's for sure, but the lack of decent coffee is a crime! I usually end up doing the same – pre-coffee walk. It's like they've actively conspired against caffeine lovers there. Maybe we should start a petition for a decent café? Or, even better, secretly brew our own artisanal coffee and set up a pop-up stand. Think of the business...and the caffeine.
PolyU Food Stalls?
I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about it. But I'm a picky eater… what are the *actu… more
The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup. Those are generally pretty mild. Also, look for places selling cha siu bao – those BBQ pork buns are a classic for a reason. Avoid anything that looks particularly…brightly coloured. That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
