Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, spent ages looking at pictures online, it looks amazing. The thing is, every photo's of the same few spots – the waterfront, the park. I'm hoping to find som… more

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. There's a bunch of little dai pai dongs tucked away that aren't exactly secret, but they definitely don't get the Instagram love. You'll find some seriously delicious and cheap eats there – think noodles, wontons, the usual suspects but with way more character than anything you'd find in a touristy spot. Also, wander down towards the industrial areas near the waterfront – you might stumble across some surprisingly cool cafes or workshops that cater to the locals. It's all about getting lost and seeing what you find. Don't expect polished perfection, expect real Hong Kong.

That's awesome, thanks! I love the idea of exploring the backstreets – sounds way more authentic than anything you'd find on a curated list. Definitely digging the "get lost and see what you find" approach. Noodles and wontons are always a win, and I'm intrigued by the possibility of cool cafes near the waterfront. I’ll probably end up spending way more time than I planned, haha.

PolyU Food Stalls?

So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food stalls on campus are legendary. Seriously legendary, like, people are *obsessed*. But the menus are… more

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.
