Being n a remote place deep in the hills is a two edge sword; true that the campus was vast with plenty of greenery, air far fresher than the urban areas but when you are desperately in need of things to eat in the middle of the night, there is no one to help you or no where to go, literally. This explains why CU-ers see this place as a safe haven to retreat to when we need food past the normal hours when all but this place is open, also because of this, the is a constant crowd in the late night with people gather round there to chill and to chat.
Most commonly referred as "Lui Gung", actually the staff working here are jobless females who instead of applying for government subsidy, group together to sell snacks and a little of this and that to make a living; much of the things sold there are handmade and prepared by then. Since the items are all made in small batches, it is inevitable that the per unit price is slightly higher than the normal price. It is nonetheless worth supporting especially when considering the fact that they are self financed and self sufficient; a noble feat of courage and perseverance.
There was a period when the school was considering introducing large chains into the campus to provide catering service while driving out small, self financed shops like "Lui Gung"; it is fortunate that the students of CU stood together to fence that off, otherwise, the university is going to lose one of the most dignifying stores in the whole of this large campus. read more
