Trends in Hong Kong
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty, but what's the REAL deal with the food options around there? Is it mostly campus cafeteria stu… more
Honestly, the food scene near HKU (Hong Kong University), which is pretty close to HKShueYan, is way better than the campus cafeteria. You'll find tons of smaller places tucked away in the side streets – think little dai pai dongs (open-air food stalls) and hole-in-the-wall eateries. It's mostly local fare, so you'll get the authentic experience. Prepare for some amazing noodles and dim sum. Just wander around the residential areas near the university; you'll stumble upon some gems. Don't be afraid to try places that look busy – that's usually a good sign. Avoid the super-polished, touristy places with English menus plastered everywhere.
Yeah, that sounds great! I figured the area around the uni would be better than the campus food. Thanks for the heads-up about the dai pai dongs – I love that stuff. Noodles and dim sum...I'm already hungry thinking about it. I'll definitely avoid the tourist traps. Any particular streets you'd recommend checking out near HKU? Or maybe a specific type of noodle I should prioritize? I'm easily overwhelmed by choice, haha.
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
