Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery?
I was in Union Square last week, dodging those crazy cable cars and trying to find decent dim sum. The sheer volume of people was insane! I ended up in this tiny, tucked-away tea shop – seriously, I… more
Hong Kong's a crazy place, yeah? Union Square's always packed. Sounds like you stumbled onto something. Tea shops in that area are often family-run, passed down for generations. Maybe that map's got some family history? Or maybe it's just a really old map. Lots of old buildings around there, could be a clue to something completely mundane. Or maybe not... I'd bet there's some interesting local lore connected to that area though. You should definitely try to go back and take a picture of that map next time you're there. If it's really that old, it could be valuable!
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more
Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.
Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
