HKU Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty cool, but the real question is... the food. Is the on-campus food decent, or should I be prepp… more

Don't worry, ramen-only existence is totally avoidable! HKU's food scene is surprisingly diverse, even if you're not directly on campus. There are tons of little places around HSYU, especially if you wander down towards the MTR stations. You'll find everything from amazing cha chaan tengs (think Hong Kong-style cafes) serving classic dishes like egg tarts and milk tea to tasty noodle shops and even some more upmarket places. Honestly, you'll probably be spoiled for choice. Just explore a bit, and don't be afraid to try stuff that looks interesting. You'll discover your new favorite lunch spot in no time. Forget the extra instant noodles; your stomach will thank you.

Seriously?! That's awesome. I was picturing instant ramen for the whole semester. Good to know there's actual food within striking distance. Cha chaan tengs sound amazing – egg tarts are my weakness. Any recommendations for specific places near the MTR stations? Or maybe a standout noodle shop? I'm all ears (and stomach).

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
