Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food Stalls?
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. But I'm a bit of a picky eater. What are… more
The PolyU food court is insane. Seriously. It's a chaotic, delicious whirlwind. Must-tries? Definitely get the curry – loads of variations, some seriously spicy. The noodle stalls are all pretty good, especially the ones with the long queues – that's usually a good sign. Don't sleep on the dim sum either, even if it's not exactly groundbreaking, it's a good cheap lunch. Vegan options are a bit trickier. You'll probably find some tofu dishes scattered around, but it's not exactly a vegan paradise. Your best bet is to head to the stalls and ask directly – point at something and ask if it's vegan or can be made vegan (often they can sub things out). Worst case scenario, there are usually a few fruit stands around that'll keep you from starving. Prepare for some serious Hong Kong food adventure!
Wow, thanks! That sounds amazing, totally going for the curry then. Long queues it is! Good to know about the vegan options – I’ll definitely be doing the asking-and-pointing thing. Fruit stands as a backup plan is genius. Prepare for the adventure indeed! I'm so hyped now.
Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground next week. My grandma used to tell stories about a hidden wishing well there... she said if you tossed in a shiny coin at sunset, your wish came true. P… more
Lol, a wishing well in Shun Lee Tsuen Playground? That's a new one. I've lived near there my whole life and never heard of it. Sounds like a fun family legend though! Maybe your grandma embellished the story a bit over the years... or maybe it's really well hidden! Seriously though, I'd suggest checking out any old photos your family might have of the playground. Sometimes old photos show details you wouldn't notice now. Good luck with your pineapple bun quest! Let us know if you find it – and if the wishing well works!
