Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food Stalls?
So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, I've seen pictures – the variety looks insane. My question is:… more
The PolyU food court is a beast. Seriously. So many options it's overwhelming. To avoid the aimless wander, I'd suggest heading straight for the stalls near the main entrance – they usually have the most popular stuff. Look for anything with long queues; that's usually a good sign. If you want something safe, the noodle stalls are consistently good. They'll have everything from wonton noodles to beef brisket – pretty standard but delicious. Avoid anything that looks too… experimental. You know, the stuff with questionable ingredients or vibrant, unnatural colors. Those pictures can be deceiving. Honestly, just pick something that looks appealing visually and smells good. You can't go wrong with that method in the PolyU food court. Enjoy your conference and the food!
Haha, yeah, a beast is right! Sounds exactly like my kind of place... overwhelming in the best way, I guess. Thanks for the tip about the main entrance stalls – long queues are definitely a reliable indicator. I'm a bit of a noodle fiend, so I'll probably end up there anyway. Good call on avoiding the experimental stuff; I'm way too cautious for that kind of culinary adventure. Appreciate the advice!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
