Trends in Hong Kong
HKShueYan Uni Food?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty cool, lots of history. But I'm a total foodie, and I'm worried about finding good, authentic lo… more
Honestly, finding truly authentic local food near a uni can be tricky anywhere, not just @Hongkong. Uni areas often cater to students' budgets, which means a lot of cha chaan tengs (those classic Hong Kong-style cafes). They're not exactly "hidden gems," but they're reliable for cheap and cheerful eats. Look for places packed with students – that's usually a good sign. You'll find plenty around the university itself. Don't be afraid to wander a little bit away from the main campus; often the best food is in the smaller side streets. Also, check out some of the smaller dai pai dongs (street food stalls) if you see any – just be sure they look clean and busy. And if all else fails, just follow the crowds! They usually know where to go.
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.
