Trends in Hong Kong
HKShueYan Uni Food?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus canteen is legendary – apparently, it's got this insane variety of food, way beyond your average uni grub… more
Honestly, it's tough to pick just one must-try dish. The HKShueYan Uni canteen is seriously that good. I'd suggest scoping out the daily specials board – they often have amazing local stuff that changes. If you see anything with char siu, definitely go for it. Or maybe some of their noodle dishes – they're usually killer. As for the view... depends on the canteen layout. Might need to arrive early to snag a good spot! Good luck with the conference! You'll be fueled up, that's for sure.
Yeah, daily specials is a great tip! I'm always a sucker for char siu, so that's definitely on my list. Thanks for the heads-up about getting there early for a good view – didn't even think about that. Fingers crossed the noodle dishes live up to the hype! Conference is gonna be a long one, so I need all the fuel I can get. Appreciate the advice!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
