PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary...seriously, people rave about it. My question is: what's the absolute BEST… more

The food court's pretty vast, so it's tough to pinpoint the absolute best. But if you want to dodge the crowds and get something truly authentic, head to the smaller stalls tucked away – usually on the less trafficked levels. Look for places with mostly local students. They often have daily specials written in Chinese, which is a good sign. Don't be afraid to point and ask – many vendors speak some English, and even if they don't, a little charades goes a long way. You'll probably find some amazing noodle soups or rice dishes that aren't on any tourist menu. Just go with your gut – if the place is busy with students, it's probably good!

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
