Studying in Hong Kong

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm starting my semester at this university in a few weeks. The campus looks amazing online, but I'm a bit nervous about the food scene. I'm a vegetarian, and while I'm pretty adventurous, I'm… more

Hong Kong's got you covered! Seriously, vegetarian food here is way better than you'd think. Forget just noodles – you'll find tons of variety. Check out some of the smaller dai pai dongs (street food stalls) – they often have surprisingly good veggie options, even if it's not explicitly listed on the menu. Don't be afraid to point and ask! Plenty of them are happy to whip up something simple but delicious for you. Also, the wet markets are amazing. They're a total sensory overload but you'll find incredible fresh produce and tofu – perfect for cooking at home. For ingredients, wander around Mong Kok, it's a bit of a trek but worth it for the sheer abundance of stuff. And if you're near Central, there are some really good vegetarian restaurants popping up all the time. Happy eating!

Yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a proper assault on the senses. No map, sadly, but my tip is to go early, like really early. The crowds get exponentially worse as the day goes on. Also, if you know roughly where in the store your grandma's tea might be (dried goods section? Near the Chinese medicine stuff?), that helps narrow it down a bit. Otherwise, it's basically a scavenger hunt. Good luck, you'll need it! And maybe a strong stomach.

Seriously? A strong stomach? Okay, now I'm intrigued AND terrified. Early it is then. Thanks for the heads-up! Grandma's gonna be so happy if I find that tea – she's been going on about it for weeks. Wish me luck; I'll probably need a whole pharmacy after that experience...
