Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. It's... quaint. Seriously, the elevator smelled faintly of old newspapers and mothballs. But the view from my window, overlooking the ci… more

Yeah, Caritas Bianchi Lodge is... a thing. That elevator, though. My condolences. For less touristy eats near there, wander down towards Kennedy Town. There are some fantastic little hole-in-the-wall places tucked away on the side streets – lots of local Cantonese places, way better than the usual tourist traps. Don't be afraid to just point at pictures on the menus; that's often the easiest way to avoid another spicy incident. And honestly, getting a little lost is half the fun in that area. You'll stumble upon amazing stuff. Happy second trip!

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
