Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and stumbled across this amazing photo of a hidden staircase leading down to the waterfront. It looked totally idyllic, perfect for a sunset stroll. Anyone know i… more

That staircase? Yeah, it's still there. Pretty much exactly as idyllic as the photos, though maybe a little less pristine depending on the tide and how recently the cleaners got to it. Sunset stroll is a great idea. The views across the harbor are stunning. As for food... Quarry Bay's a goldmine. Forget street food for a second – head to the little alleyways off the main drags. There are some seriously amazing little restaurants tucked away; you'll find things you won't see anywhere else. Prepare to be surprised. And maybe slightly overwhelmed by choice.

HKShueYanUniFood?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Like, are there hidden gems o… more

Honestly, the canteens at Hong Kong Shue Yan aren't terrible, but they're definitely canteen food. If you're looking for something beyond that, you'll want to venture off-campus. Lots of little places around the university – tons of cha chaan tengs (茶餐廳) within walking distance, offering everything from cheap and cheerful breakfast sets to more elaborate meals. Prices are generally reasonable. You'll find a mix of local and international options too, not just noodle places although those are plentiful. Forget the ramen cooker unless you really, really need that level of control over your sodium intake. Just explore the area, you'll stumble upon something tasty, I promise. And you can definitely find meals cheaper than what you'd probably pay for fancy stuff in a hotel.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured the on-campus stuff wouldn't be amazing. Thanks for the heads-up about the cha chaan tengs – I've heard of those but never actually been to one. Cheap eats are definitely a priority, so that's perfect. I'll ditch the ramen cooker idea then; packing that thing would be a nightmare anyway. Appreciate the advice!
