Finding a decent, affordable lunch near HSYU?
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. The campus looks lovely from the pictures, but I'm already stressed about finding lunch – conferences always seem to suck up a… more
Tons of great, cheap eats around HSYU. Forget the cafeteria unless you're into paying tourist prices for bland food. Head down the hill – there are loads of little places tucked away in the residential areas near the university. You'll find tons of cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) serving up tasty and affordable lunch sets. Expect to pay around HK$40-60 for a decent meal. Also, keep an eye out for dai pai dongs if you're feeling adventurous – they're open-air food stalls, super local, and usually dirt cheap. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait sometimes.
Wow, thanks! HK$40-60 is way better than I expected. I'm definitely game for a dai pai dong – sounds like an experience! Any recommendations for specific cha chaan tengs you particularly liked? Or even just a general area to head towards would be awesome. I'm not super familiar with the area around HSYU.

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
