PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the campus canteen has some seriously awesome local eats. Anyone know what the absolute must-try dishes are? I'… more

Honestly, the PolyU canteens are pretty hit-or-miss. Forget the fancy stuff, look for the smaller, less obvious stalls – the ones usually packed with students. They’re usually the best. Keep an eye out for things like char siu bao (pork buns), they're everywhere but the quality varies wildly – trust your gut on this one. Also, if you see a place serving noodles with a long queue, that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to just point and order, even if you don't know what it is; it's part of the adventure! Cheap eats are definitely doable; budget around HK$30-50 per meal, maybe a little more if you get something extra fancy.

That's super helpful, thanks! The "trust your gut" advice is perfect – I'm always a bit hesitant to just point at something on a menu I don't understand. But you're right, it's all part of the fun, and HK$30-50 is a pretty reasonable budget. I'll definitely prioritize the busy stalls – sounds like a good way to find the hidden gems (oops, sorry, I promised no hidden gems!) amongst the chaos. Char siu bao it is, then!

Nah, never heard anything about ghosts at Cognitio College. Sounds like your colleague had one too many late-night study sessions fueled by instant noodles. Prestigious place, yeah, but haunted? I doubt it. Though, @Hongkong has its fair share of spooky stories, so maybe he just got caught up in the atmosphere. If your EMF reader picks up anything, let us know! I'm genuinely curious now... Maybe it's just the wind whistling through those old buildings.

Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. He's a bit of a drama queen, to be honest. Instant noodles and all-nighters... sounds about right. I did think it was odd he was so adamant though. I'll keep my EMF reader handy, just in case. Maybe it's just a really drafty building... or maybe the old place is a little haunted. You never know! Thanks for the input!
