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. Heard the food stalls are legendary. Seriously, the photos online are insane. My question is: are the lines *always… more

Depends on the day, honestly. Some stalls are always busy, particularly the ones famous for things like wonton noodles or roast meat. Off-peak might mean a shorter queue, maybe 15-20 minutes instead of an hour, but don't count on it. If you're really pressed for time, maybe grab something quicker like a quick egg waffle or a dim sum from a less popular stall to tide you over. A week should give you plenty of chances though! Just be prepared to queue... or be very strategic about your timing. Maybe check out some reviews for less popular places that still get great reviews. Good luck!

Yeah, that makes sense. An hour queue is a commitment! I was thinking more of lunchtime rush hour avoidance, so maybe going a bit earlier or later could help. Good point about the egg waffles though – a good backup plan if the wonton noodle place is insane. Thanks for the tips!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
