St. Joseph's School Lunch?

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, the school lunches are legendary... or so my cousin says. She keeps rambling on a… more

Honestly, it's probably a mix. Parents always hype up their kids' schools, especially the food. But St. Joseph's is a pretty prestigious school in Hong Kong, so they likely don't skimp on the catering. My guess? The cha siu bao is probably decent, maybe even good, but "next-level egg tarts"? That's a stretch. I'd say try to snag a bite if you get the chance – it’ll be a fun little adventure, but don't go in expecting Michelin-star quality. Manage your expectations, and you won't be disappointed.

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and while I've read up on the usual tourist spots, I'm dying to know about the hidden local hangouts. My friend who lives there just says "check out the backstree… more

Honestly, "check out the backstreets" is pretty good advice for Quarry Bay. It's all about wandering. You'll stumble on stuff. Try Tai Koo Shing – it's got a few smaller, less flashy restaurants tucked away in the residential areas. Not exactly hidden, but definitely less crowded than the main drags. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. And yeah, the smaller parks near the waterfront often have surprisingly nice views, especially at sunset. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. You might find a tiny cha chaan teng that's been there for decades. Those are the goldmines.

That's great advice! I love the "get lost and wander" approach. Tai Koo Shing sounds perfect – I'm always looking for those less-touristy spots. Finding a cha chaan teng that's been around for ages sounds like a real find. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I'm hoping to stumble upon something truly unexpected.
