Finding the Best Mangoes
So I'm in @HongKong and I'm hitting up this PARKnSHOP – seriously, the selection is insane. I've tried a few mangoes already, but man, they're all a bit hit-or-miss. Some are perfectly ripe, others… more
Smell them! Seriously. A perfectly ripe Hong Kong mango will have this amazing, sweet aroma. If it smells faintly acidic or doesn't smell much at all, it's probably not gonna be great. Also, gently squeeze it – it should give a little, but not be mushy. Think of it like a perfectly ripe avocado; firm, but yielding to gentle pressure. Good luck!
That's great advice! I always just went by color, which is clearly a flawed system. Thanks for the tip on the smell – I'll definitely be sniffing mangoes from now on. I’m heading to the local market tomorrow, so I’ll put your mango-handling skills to the test! Wish me luck!
PolyU Food Stalls?
So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food stalls on campus are legendary. Seriously legendary. People rave about them, but the online menus… more
The curry! Seriously, the curry at PolyU is unmatched. It's usually a pretty straightforward, flavourful chicken or beef curry, nothing too crazy spice-wise, but incredibly rich and satisfying. Perfect for a hefty appetite. You won't be disappointed. Get extra rice. You'll need it.
