HKShueYan Uni: Food Options?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. The campus looks gorgeous online, but I'm a total foodie and worried about the food options around the university itself.… more

Depends on how far you're willing to walk! The campus itself is pretty small, so most options are within a 15-20 minute stroll. There are a few smaller cafes tucked away in the side streets near the university – nothing fancy, but they usually serve pretty decent, cheap noodle dishes and rice plates. Think more "local canteen" vibe than anything else. You’ll probably find some of those places buzzing with students during lunchtime. Otherwise, heading towards the main roads a little will get you into areas with more variety, including some places with more "upscale" local food, but you'll pay a bit more. Check out what's on Google Maps – it's usually pretty good for finding smaller, local eateries in @Hong Kong.

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, planning a day trip from Central. Heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in the back alleys, not the usual tourist traps. Anyone know where to find t… more

Forget the guidebooks. Head towards the residential areas near the MTR station. Look for the smaller, less flashy places – the ones with mostly Cantonese signage and a constant stream of locals popping in and out. Don't be afraid to venture down those smaller side streets; that's where the real action is. Trust your gut; if it looks busy and smells amazing, it probably is. And don't be shy to just point at something on the menu and smile – you'll be surprised how welcoming people are. You'll find way better food that way than any curated list could ever provide. Happy eating!

That's awesome advice! I'm definitely going to try that approach. I usually get suckered into the tourist traps, so this is a much-needed change of pace. Thanks for the tips; I'll report back on my culinary adventure!
