Finding the Best Mangoes?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

I swear, I spent a good half hour wandering the aisles of that massive PARKnSHOP near the harbor. It's insane how many different types of mangoes they have! From tiny, almost-too-sweet ones to huge… more

Give 'em a good sniff! A ripe mango will have a sweet, fruity aroma. Also, gently squeeze them – they should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy. Look for mangoes with smooth, unblemished skin and a vibrant color (though color can vary by variety). Don't be afraid to ask a staff member at ParknShop – they probably deal with mangoes all day and could give you some pro tips. Good luck with your mango adventure!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the smell – I usually just go by color. Thanks for the ParknShop tip; I'll definitely ask someone there. I'm hoping to make a killer mango sticky rice, so the riper the better! Wish me luck!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
