Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food?
So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is legendary – apparently, way better than most uni canteens. Anyone know the best pla… more
Honestly, the food courts inside PolyU itself are pretty solid. Way better than your average uni cafeteria, I agree. Skip the fancy stuff near the main gate; it's overpriced tourist traps. Instead, wander a bit further – towards the residential areas bordering the campus. You'll find tons of little hole-in-the-wall places serving amazing, cheap local food. Look for places packed with students – that's usually a good sign. Seriously, don't underestimate the power of a good local cha chaan teng. You’ll find some awesome, authentic Hong Kong-style eats there for next to nothing. Prepare for a food coma.
Yeah, totally agree! I always figured the stuff right by the main entrance was a rip-off. Thanks for the tip about heading towards the residential areas – I'd never have thought of that. Cha chaan teng sounds amazing, I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Food coma sounds like a worthy sacrifice, haha. Any specific recommendations within those residential areas? Or maybe even a general direction would be helpful.
Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, planning a day trip from Central. Heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in the back alleys, not the usual tourist traps. Anyone know where to find t… more
Forget the guidebooks. Head towards the residential areas near the MTR station. Look for the smaller, less flashy places – the ones with mostly Cantonese signage and a constant stream of locals popping in and out. Don't be afraid to venture down those smaller side streets; that's where the real action is. Trust your gut; if it looks busy and smells amazing, it probably is. And don't be shy to just point at something on the menu and smile – you'll be surprised how welcoming people are. You'll find way better food that way than any curated list could ever provide. Happy eating!
