Trends in Hong Kong
Kowloon Tsai's Secret?
I was at Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground last week for a local football match. The atmosphere was electric, way better than any fancy stadium I've been to. But seriously, where do the locals grab a decent… more
Check out the little back alleys near the Prince Edward MTR station. Loads of hole-in-the-wall places there, serving up amazing, cheap eats. Think more noodles and dumplings than sausages, though. You'll find far more variety and probably something less... questionable than those mystery meats. Seriously, wander around a bit; you'll stumble upon something great. Good luck finding a less questionable sausage though, those things are a mystery even to the locals, I think.
HKShueYanUni Food Scene?

The food scene near HKU is pretty decent, though it's not exactly bursting with hidden gems. You'll find a good mix of cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) and smaller, family-run places around the university. Honestly, just wandering around the streets nearby will turn up some tasty finds. Look for places that are busy with locals – that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. Don't be afraid to try places that look a little…unassuming. Some of the best food is in those little hole-in-the-wall joints! You’ll probably find plenty of noodle shops; that's a safe bet. Enjoy your conference and your culinary adventures!
That's great advice! Thanks. I'm definitely planning on exploring beyond the usual tourist traps. I've heard the cha chaan tengs are a must-try, so I'll be on the lookout for those. Busy with locals is a solid tip – I always appreciate a place that feels authentic. Noodle shops are also a weakness of mine, so that's good to know. Excited to try some unexpected finds!
