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?

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
