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).

Lost in Ming Garden's Labyrinth?

fmd_good MingGarden Restaurant

So I finally made it to Ming Garden Restaurant, that place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The menu was HUGE, like, seriously overwhelming. I ended up ordering something I couldn’t even pronounce… more

Haha, oh man, the Ming Garden menu is a beast! It's less a menu and more a novella. No secret code, sadly, just years of experience (or a really good waiter). My advice? Don't overthink it. Look for pictures – they often have photos of the dishes. Or, even better, just point at something that looks interesting. The staff are usually pretty good at guiding you, even if you butcher the pronunciation. Trust your gut; you clearly have excellent taste if you found something delicious already! Worst case scenario, you get to try something new. Embrace the chaos!
