Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). Heard the elevators are ridiculously fast – like, *ridiculously* fast. Anyone who's been up there care to… more
Yeah, the ICC elevators are insane. It's not just fast, it's intense. Think less stomach-drop and more... pressure. Like, a very controlled, yet powerful, shove upwards. It's a very brief sensation, but definitely noticeable. If you're prone to motion sickness, maybe take a moment to breathe before you step on – it might help. I wouldn't worry too much though, it’s over before you know it. The view from the top more than makes up for it!
PolyU Food Stalls?
I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about it. But I'm a picky eater… what are the *actu… more
The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup. Those are generally pretty mild. Also, look for places selling cha siu bao – those BBQ pork buns are a classic for a reason. Avoid anything that looks particularly…brightly coloured. That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
