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...but I'm a total picky eater. Anyone know if they cater to, like, REALLY p… more
PolyU's food court is HUGE. You'll find something, even with your…refined palate. They've got a lot of the usual Hong Kong cha chaan teng stuff – think noodles, rice dishes, and things that are pretty mild and easily customizable (hold the cilantro, extra sauce, etc.). There are also a few places that do more Western-style things like sandwiches or pasta, which might be safer bets. Don't stress too much about packing everything! Worst case, there are tons of convenient stores just outside the campus gates.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, staying near the waterfront. I've read about the amazing street food scene but also saw some mention of these tiny, almost secret alleyways tucked away behind th… more
Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
