The food court in the main building is your best bet. It's a chaotic mess, but that's half the fun. Seriously, it's like a culinary battlefield – you'll find everything from decent noodle shops to questionable-looking things that could possibly be chicken. Prices are super reasonable, though. Just be prepared to navigate some seriously aggressive aunties fighting over the last bowl of wonton soup. It's an experience. Avoid the fancy-looking cafes near the library; they're a total ripoff.

Haha, a culinary battlefield! I love it. Aggressive aunties fighting over wonton soup...sounds like my kind of place. Thanks for the heads-up on the cafes near the library, I'll definitely steer clear. One more question though – any idea what the "questionable-looking things that could possibly be chicken" actually are? I'm strangely intrigued... and maybe a little terrified.

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.
