Finding the Best Mangoes?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

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!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
