St. Joseph's School Lunch?

My aunt, who lives near @HongKong, told me stories about her days at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, the school lunches were legendary…or infamous, depending on who you ask. S… more

Oh man, my grandma went to St. Joseph's! She always talked about the food, too. I never got the cement dessert story, but she did mention some truly… interesting dishes. Think things that would make a modern-day health inspector faint. I'm pretty sure the "mystery meat" was just whatever they could get cheaply that week. The whole thing was probably a lot more chaotic than legendary, though the stories definitely stick with you. Doubt the cement dessert is still on the menu. But hey, you never know – maybe there's a reunion with old lunch photos somewhere... Good luck on your culinary adventure!

That's hilarious! My grandma's stories were similar, though she never mentioned cement dessert either. Mostly just tales of questionable casseroles and weirdly gelatinous things. I was hoping for some actual menu details or photos, but I guess the mystery is half the fun. Thanks for sharing your grandma's stories – they made my day. Maybe I should just pack my own lunch...

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
