Parknshop

Okay, I know this isn’t the most relevant review in the world, but it’ll be helpful if you’re at student at HKU or need to be here for any reason. If you study there, you’re bound be a regular visitor to this Parknshop. I mean, it’s the only supermarket on campus, and we need to eat! Situated at the Chong Yuet Ming Building, the Parknshop is over on the main campus and isn’t too far from the library — just head up the steps and go all the way to your left. The supermarket is hidden way in the corner opposite of Café 330.
Actually, this supermarket is too small to warrant itself the title of being a supermarket — it’s more of a convenience store. A big, more concentrated Seven Eleven, if you will. If you’re looking to get some hardcore grocery shopping done, this isn’t your place. No meats and vegetables are sold here — basically just snacks — a lot of it, drinks, instant noodles, whatever a university student on the run needs to survive. The aisles here are really narrow, which gets annoying because on a bad day you’ll probably have to ‘excuse me’ about three times before getting to whatever it is you need.
I come here pretty often in between classes to grab a snack or two. My go-​tos are chocolate Tim Tams or Milano biscuits. Since it’s at the university, everything here is at least a few dollars cheaper than if you were to buy them at other supermarkets, which is probably the single greatest thing about this place!
The line to pay may get a little long at times as there are only two checkout counters. But for a supermarket in the university, it has all the snacks I need and it’s conveniently located, so that’s a pretty good enough for me!
