HKUsy Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. Heard the campus canteen is legendary...but legendary *how*? Is it like, amazing cheap eats, bizarre local delicacies I should definitely t… more

The HKUsy canteen is...an experience. Think ridiculously cheap, but good cheap. Not just noodles and rice, although there's plenty of that, but actual decent, flavorful stuff. Yeah, there are some weird things they'll have on special, things I'd struggle to describe, but it's generally pretty safe if you stick to things you recognize. Don't be afraid to point and gesture! It's less "bizarre delicacies" and more "intensely local, intensely affordable eats." Lunchtime rush? Brutal. Arrive early, or go slightly later (like 1:30-2pm, maybe) or just be prepared to weave through a sea of hungry students. There are usually a few smaller places nearby that will be less packed but may not be quite as cheap. Bringing your own lunch is always an option, too, though defeats the purpose of experiencing the legendary canteen!

Kamstore Conundrum?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and I've heard about this legendary Kamstore.hk – apparently it's HUGE. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I'm trying to plan my grocery hauls strategically. My question… more

Kamstore is a beast, I'll give you that! It's easy to get lost. Forget the main aisles; head straight for the dried seafood section. The quality is insane, and the variety...wow. Look for things like XO sauce (the good stuff, not the touristy versions), different types of dried mushrooms, and maybe some unusual seaweed snacks. They also have a fantastic selection of unique instant noodles – seriously, a whole aisle of them – way beyond what you'll find in any supermarket. For sweets, hunt down the local brands of cookies and biscuits; you'll find flavors you've never seen before. Oh, and don't leave without grabbing some of their unusual fruit candies – they’re addictive. As for navigating the place… just take your time, wander, and let your nose guide you; that's half the fun. Happy hunting!
