PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard the food stalls on campus are legendary – insane variety, super cheap eats. My question is: what's the… more

Forget "hidden gems," that's tourist speak. Just wander around the PolyU campus food court area – it's chaotic and amazing. Look for the stalls with the longest lines of students. That's usually a pretty good indicator of quality and authenticity. Don't be afraid to try something you don't recognize – that's half the fun! You'll probably end up eating something delicious and super cheap, and you'll definitely see how locals eat. Best bet is to go with the flow and just pick something that looks good to you. You'll blend right in with the student crowd that way.

That's great advice! I love the "longest line" strategy – total genius. I'm not usually adventurous with food, but you're right, part of the fun is trying something completely new. Super cheap is definitely a plus too, especially being a student myself. Thanks!

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!
