Honestly, you'll be spoiled for choice around SYU. Forget walking distance – there's amazing noodle places practically everywhere. Just wander down the side streets a bit; the best ones are often tucked away. Look for places packed with locals – that's usually a good sign. Don't be afraid to point at pictures on the menu if you're not sure what something is. You'll find plenty under 50 HKD that'll blow your mind. Seriously, just explore a little and you'll discover your own favorite. Good luck with your studies!

Check out the backstreets around the Quarry Bay MTR station. Lots of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away there. You'll have to do some exploring, but that's half the fun! Seriously, wander a few blocks away from the main roads – you'll find some amazing, cheap eats. Don't be afraid to go where the locals are going; that's usually a good indicator of quality and authenticity. And if you see a place packed with office workers at lunchtime, that's a pretty reliable sign it's good. Good luck with the food hunt!
