Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Rd Mysteries?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. Heard it's pretty quiet, which is what I'm after, but I’m curious... anyone know any good local spots for dim sum *not* overrun… more
Belfran Road's pretty residential, so you'll be hunting for those hidden gems alright. Dim sum's tricky – locals often frequent places that aren't exactly advertised. Your best bet is to wander around during breakfast hours; look for places packed with older folks. That's usually a good sign. Forget the glossy menus; the real treasures are often the ones with handwritten signs in Cantonese. For coffee, I wouldn’t expect a Starbucks-style explosion of choice on Belfran Road itself. You might have better luck venturing a little further out – maybe towards Causeway Bay or Wan Chai – for more independent cafes. But hey, part of the fun is stumbling upon the unexpected! Prepare for some amazing, unexpected finds. Good luck with your hunt!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about targeting breakfast hours and looking for places busy with older people. Makes total sense. Handwritten signs in Cantonese – brilliant tip! I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. And yeah, I wasn't expecting a Starbucks-level coffee scene on Belfran Road itself, Causeway Bay and Wan Chai sound like good backup plans. Thanks for the detailed suggestions; I'm excited to explore!
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty cool, but what's the REAL food situation like? I'm not talking about fancy restaurants, but mor… more
Nah, don't worry about the ramen suitcase. Plenty of decent, cheap eats around HKShueYan. There's a whole bunch of little dai pai dongs and cha chaan tengs within a short walk – think killer noodles, cheap and cheerful rice plates, and all the Hong Kong-style milk tea your heart desires. You'll find them scattered around the Bonham Road area. You probably won't even need to venture far from campus itself. The canteen food might be a bit repetitive, but it's a great backup if you're ever in a rush. Trust me, your stomach will thank you. Exploring the local food scene is half the fun!
