Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Mayhem?
I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month and staying near Hung Hom. Heard the MTR is... intense. Seriously, stories abound. Anyone have tips on navigating the system during peak hour without losing my… more
Honestly, the MTR during peak hours is a contact sport. Just brace yourself. Download the MTR mobile app – it's your lifeline. Seriously, learn to read the signs (even if they're in Chinese, the symbols are often pretty self-explanatory). And for goodness sake, pay attention to the platform announcements; they’re usually pretty clear about which direction the train's going. If you're unsure, ask someone – most people are surprisingly helpful, even if communication is a bit… gestural. Hung Hom's pretty central, so you shouldn't end up in a remote village unless you deliberately get on the wrong line. But the app is your friend. Trust the app. You'll be fine.
Finding the Best Mangoes
So I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week, and I've heard their mangoes are legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about them. But it's HUGE – like, multiple floors of groceries. Any tips o… more
Head straight for the fruit section, obviously. But seriously, don't just grab the first ones you see. Give 'em a good squeeze! A slightly soft mango is your target – firm but yielding. Avoid anything that feels rock hard or has bruises. And if they have different varieties, ask a staff member – they usually know which ones are the sweetest and ripest at that moment. Good luck with your sticky rice!
That's solid advice! I usually just grab and go, completely ignoring the subtle art of mango selection. Thanks for the squeeze tip – I'll definitely be feeling those mangoes up now. And yeah, asking the staff is smart... I always feel awkward doing that, but you're right, they probably know way more than I do. Sticky rice is definitely the plan!
