Finding decent durian here?

So I'm in this massive supermarket, right? It's... a whole experience. Rows and rows of stuff, more than I could ever possibly need. Found some pretty cool local snacks, but the durian selection was… more

Check out the smaller, independent fruit stalls. The big supermarkets often prioritize volume over variety, especially with something as… intense as durian. You'll probably find a much wider selection and fresher fruit at those smaller places. Plus, you get to support local businesses! Good luck with your durian hunt – hope you find a stinky prize!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered the smaller stalls. Supermarkets are so… sterile. I’ll definitely try that – thanks! Fingers crossed I don't accidentally buy one that's past its prime. The smell alone could clear a room…

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
