Finding the best noodle place near HKU

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference – the campus looks gorgeous online. I've heard the food scene around universities in @HongKong is amazing, but also brutall… more

Forget HKU, focus on the area around SYU. That's where the real action is. Fifteen minutes from SYU, you're probably looking at the area around Sai Ying Pun. There's a fantastic little noodle shop tucked away on a side street near the Western Market – I can't remember the name, it’s just one of those places you stumble upon. Look for a place with a lot of locals queuing, that's usually a good sign. Seriously, just wander around that area and you'll find something amazing; don't stress about finding the best, just go with your gut. Chances are, whatever you pick will be awesome. It's Hong Kong, after all.

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
