Lost in Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So, I'm navigating this maze of identical buildings on Belfran Rd. Seriously, they all look the same! Spent ages trying to find my Airbnb, ended up wandering around for like, an hour, getting incre… more

Oof, Belfran Road is a beast. Seriously, the buildings are clones. I've had similar experiences. Download Google Maps offline before you go – that's key. Then, zoom in really close on the map before you get off the train/bus/taxi – get your bearings. Look for distinguishing features; even a slightly different shop front or a specific colored door can be a lifesaver. And yeah, local English can be... patchy, to put it politely. Maybe try using Google Translate's camera function to show locals your address? That's helped me before. Chin up, you'll find your Airbnb eventually! Next time, maybe Airbnb slightly less in the middle of a concrete jungle?

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!
