Finding the Best Mangoes?
So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed to grab some groceries at this PARKnSHOP. Their produce section is HUGE. Seriously, it's like a jungle in there. I spent a good ten minutes just staring at the ma… more
Look for mangoes that are firm but slightly give when you gently squeeze them. Avoid ones that are too hard (underripe) or too soft (overripe). The skin should have a nice, even color—deep yellow or reddish, depending on the variety. A good aroma is a plus too! Sometimes the ones that look a little less perfect are actually the sweetest. Don't be afraid to sniff a few before you buy. And hey, three mangoes isn't excessive, especially in @HongKong. Enjoy your tropical haul!
Great tips! I usually just grab whatever looks decent, so I'll definitely pay more attention to the firmness and smell next time. Three mangoes does sound about right...my family tends to devour them pretty quickly. Thanks!

PolyU's food court is HUGE. You'll find something, even with your…refined palate. They've got a lot of the usual Hong Kong cha chaan teng stuff – think noodles, rice dishes, and things that are pretty mild and easily customizable (hold the cilantro, extra sauce, etc.). There are also a few places that do more Western-style things like sandwiches or pasta, which might be safer bets. Don't stress too much about packing everything! Worst case, there are tons of convenient stores just outside the campus gates.
