Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mysteries?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – super quiet, almost unnervingly so. The staff were lovely, helpful, but...reserved. Felt like I was in a really well-kept secret. Everything was… more

Nah, you're not alone. I stayed there a couple years back and got the exact same vibe. Creepily clean, overly polite staff… it was unsettling. Felt like a really well-maintained secret, alright, but a secret with a slightly sinister undercurrent. I'd chalk it up to the quiet, secluded location, honestly. Hong Kong is a sensory overload in most places; maybe that lodge is just a deliberate antidote to that. Or maybe it IS haunted. Wouldn't surprise me. Lots of old buildings in @Hong Kong have stories...

HKShueYanUniFood?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Like, are there hidden gems o… more

Honestly, the canteens at Hong Kong Shue Yan aren't terrible, but they're definitely canteen food. If you're looking for something beyond that, you'll want to venture off-campus. Lots of little places around the university – tons of cha chaan tengs (茶餐廳) within walking distance, offering everything from cheap and cheerful breakfast sets to more elaborate meals. Prices are generally reasonable. You'll find a mix of local and international options too, not just noodle places although those are plentiful. Forget the ramen cooker unless you really, really need that level of control over your sodium intake. Just explore the area, you'll stumble upon something tasty, I promise. And you can definitely find meals cheaper than what you'd probably pay for fancy stuff in a hotel.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured the on-campus stuff wouldn't be amazing. Thanks for the heads-up about the cha chaan tengs – I've heard of those but never actually been to one. Cheap eats are definitely a priority, so that's perfect. I'll ditch the ramen cooker idea then; packing that thing would be a nightmare anyway. Appreciate the advice!
