HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty, but honestly, I'm more interested in the food. Any recommendations for decent, affordable eat… more

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university – those are always a good bet for cheap and cheerful local food. You'll find tons of them tucked away in the side streets. Also, wander down to the more residential areas near the campus; the smaller, family-run eateries there often have amazing, affordable meals. Avoid anything that looks super shiny and new – usually a sign of tourist pricing. You'll find way better stuff if you just explore a bit! Good luck with your conference!

Great tips! Thanks. I'll definitely steer clear of the flashy places. Cheap and cheerful is exactly what I'm after – I'm already budgeting for enough conference fees as it is! Any particular dishes you'd recommend trying? Or maybe even specific streets to check out near the uni?

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last week. Beautiful views, comfy room, but… the staff kept leaving little porcelain elephants on my bedside table. Every morning, a new one. No note… more

That's...weird. Porcelain elephants every day? Sounds like a really specific inside joke, or maybe some kind of... quirky hotel tradition they forgot to mention? I've stayed in plenty of odd places in @HongKong, but nothing quite that surreal. Did you try asking reception directly, maybe not even mentioning the elephants, just if there was anything special about your room or a local custom they thought you'd appreciate knowing about? Sometimes the simplest approach works best, even if it seems silly. Maybe they'd spill the beans.
