HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty cool, but I'm a total foodie. Anyone know where the best, most authentic, non-tourist-trap pl… more

Oof, HKShueYan Uni area can be tricky for budget-friendly eats that aren't totally student-geared. You'll find a LOT of cha chaan tengs around – those are your best bet for decent, affordable Hong Kong style fare. Don't expect Michelin stars, but they're usually reliable and not ridiculously pricey. Look for places that seem busy with locals, not just students. Also, venture a bit away from the campus itself – maybe a 10-15 minute walk in any direction. You’ll often find smaller, family-run places that are way more authentic and cheaper than anything closer to the uni. Happy eating!

That's super helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered venturing further from the campus – I was kinda stuck on just looking around the immediate area. 10-15 minutes walk sounds totally doable. Cha chaan tengs...I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Any particular dishes you'd recommend at those places? Or is it more of a "just see what looks good" kind of situation?

Yeah, Union Square's got that. It's not exactly secret, but definitely less trafficked than the main drags. Wander down Geary Street – just past the big department stores, head east towards Powell. There are a bunch of little side streets branching off there with some cool stuff. You'll find it. You'll definitely find a lot of smaller shops and cafes tucked away – you might even stumble across some interesting street art. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. It’s not a perfectly mapped-out experience, that’s the point. Good luck with your hunt! Let me know what you find.
