St. Joseph's School Mystery?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid attends St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, it's got this legendary tuck shop – everyone talks about it, but no one will… more

Honestly? Sounds like a load of hyped-up kid-talk. Tuck shops in Hong Kong schools are... well, tuck shops. Probably some slightly unusual snacks, maybe some extra sweet stuff they don't sell elsewhere, but "impossible flavors"? Give me a break. My nephew went there for years and the biggest mystery was whether they'd run out of pineapple buns before lunchtime. I'd bet my bottom dollar it's just regular school snack fare with a bit of imaginative storytelling thrown in. Don't get your hopes up too high. It's probably just... really good pineapple buns.

It's a mixed bag, honestly. Some days it's surprisingly decent – I've had some pretty good noodle dishes there. Other days… well, let's just say I've seen things. Think standard university canteen fare, but with a Hong Kong twist. Not awful enough to warrant packing lunches every day, but definitely not something I'd actively look forward to. Maybe try it once or twice and see for yourself; you can always grab something else nearby if it's a disaster.

Yeah, that sounds about right. University food is usually a crapshoot, isn't it? A Hong Kong twist sounds interesting though – I'm curious to see what that entails. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll probably give it a go once, and if it's a total fail, I'll just hit up a place nearby. Appreciate the honest review!
