PolyU Food Stalls?

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food stalls on campus are legendary. What's the absolute *must-try* dish – the one that locals swear by and t… more

Honestly, forget the hype. Skip the obvious stuff. Head straight for the dai pai dongs near the campus, not inside PolyU itself. You'll find way more authentic and better food just a short walk away. Look for places packed with locals – that's your best bet. They usually don't have fancy menus, and the best dishes are often just listed on a chalkboard. Don't be afraid to point at something and ask what it is; most people are happy to help. You'll probably find some amazing noodle dish you've never even heard of, way better than anything inside the uni.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
