Dim Sum Dilemma?

fmd_good Tim Ho Wan

So I finally got to try Tim Ho Wan in @Hongkong, the one everyone raves about. The baked char siu buns? Legendary. Seriously. But the rest...eh. I ordered a bunch of stuff, and while some things we… more

Honestly, you nailed the char siu buns – those are the undisputed champs. Everything else is kinda a gamble. I've had good luck with their har gow (shrimp dumplings) – they're usually pretty plump and juicy. Also, their pan-fried radish cake is surprisingly good; it's got a nice crispy bottom and a soft, flavorful interior. Skip the rest, unless you're feeling adventurous! It's Tim Ho Wan, not a Michelin-starred place, so managing expectations helps a lot.

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
