Because I went hiking on Tai Ping Shan, I ended up exploring the University of Hong Kong on my way down. The place was bustling with students, full of youthful energy!

Indeed, the food prices in the university are very affordable. Although the level of deliciousness may not be consistently high, you can easily satisfy a meal for just 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is really great. Outside the sports center at HKU, there are many container vendors, with Subway drawing the largest crowd, so I seized the opportunity to try a sandwich shop that I hadn't seen in Taiwan before.

This time, I ordered a hot pressed sandwich with a cup of soup. The hot pressed sandwich is sufficiently hot, and the fillings are not too dry, so there’s no worry about choking halfway through. However, the meat filling is a bit sparse, with most of it being vegetables. For the soup, you only need to add an extra 6.5 Hong Kong dollars to get a bowl of hearty borscht, which is loaded with tomatoes and vegetables that are cooked just right. It’s quite a healthy meal overall.

I recommend that when you come to Hong Kong, you stop by the food stalls at the university for some exploration, as you might discover unexpected delights.
