Nah, you're not paranoid. Lots of places in Hong Kong, especially the older, family-run ones, have these unspoken menus. It's less a "secret menu" and more a "menu for regulars." They often feature dishes that aren't profitable enough to list, or things the chef just feels like making that day. My guess is you need to build some rapport with the staff. Go back, order something from the regular menu, maybe chat with the waitstaff a bit... act like you belong there. Then, on your next visit, casually ask if they have anything "off menu," or "what's good tonight that isn't on the menu?" If they're feeling it, they'll spill the beans – or at least show you the good stuff. Good luck, and enjoy those off-menu delights!

Download the PolyU mobile app. Seriously, do it. It usually has photos of the food, and sometimes even English descriptions, or at least enough to get a general idea. Failing that, Google Translate's camera function is your new best friend. Point it at the menu, and cross your fingers. Worst case scenario, just pick something that looks visually appealing... you'll probably be fine. Most importantly, embrace the adventure! It’s all part of the experience.
