University of Science and Technology canteen — Restaurant in Hong Kong

HKUST is all about the LGs. LG7 that is.

So imagine you're an international student (me) and you come across what seems like the asian cafeteria of your dreams (because you've only ever been subject to Tim Hortons, Subway, or questionable Chinese food (looking at you Ho Ho's) for most of your campus life (also me)).

You walk up to the menu and the first things you notice are that: the menu is huge and the menu is in Chinese So you almost begin panicking because you're a banana and can't read a thing in Chinese except for the numbers 1-10 (pretty much me) and you were hoping the ordering process would be as simple as the automated machines in LG1.

BUT luckily, you realize there's actually English as well so you make your decision based on the English and whether or not you recognize what you think is the proper translation from the little Cantonese you know.

So you make your choice and walk up to the ordering counter all the while thinking about how much of a disappointment you must be to your asian heritage UnU.

But it's okay, because in the end it's all worth it. And you know that you wouldn't be able to get such a great deal for ~$5 CAD anywhere else UwU.

8/10 the ordering process can be a bit confusing, but it's overall a bang for your buck.

And don't even get me started on Golden Rice Bowl vs Asia Pacific ps. GRB Asia...

Food was great, you could choose from all kinds of cuisine eastern or western, the atmosphere was casual and relaxed, diners were mainly students and staffs of the university. Service was poor, the servers would not bother look at you when they served the food, and when you asked them something as simple as whether your food was ready, they replied in a way as if they were irratated by the question, and in a rude manner. Considering the price of food is in the low range, it's understandable that you won't expect...

A good value, but quality is very hit and miss.

One of the worst things I've ever eaten anywhere in the world is their "Korean chicken with corn". I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to eat this, it wasn't even good enough for prison food.

Dim sum is a hard pass, and I wouldn't recommend the chicken either. Duck and pork is...
