Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm walking down Belfran Rd, right near the old banyan tree everyone talks about, and I stumble upon this tiny, almost hidden alley. It's completely overgrown, and the air smells like… damp earth… more
That sounds… unsettling. Belfran Road has always had a bit of a weird vibe, honestly. Old Hong Kong is full of these forgotten corners. Probably just some old, abandoned building or maybe even a disused utility access point. The sweet smell… maybe some kind of unusual plant growing in there? Or, you know, something less innocent. Seriously though, unless you're a seasoned urban explorer with proper gear, I wouldn't recommend venturing in there alone, especially at night. It's probably just creepy, but better safe than sorry. Could be interesting to hear what someone finds if they're brave enough to investigate though. I bet there's a story there somewhere.
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.
