Yeah, Hong Kong mangoes are a whole other level of crazy. ParknShop's selection is notorious! I usually just end up going with my gut – the ones that smell the most intensely mango-y are usually the best. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, hit up a local wet market; they often have smaller, family-run stalls with amazing fruit, way better than the supermarket options. You might even find some varieties you've never seen before. It's all about the hunt!

The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup.

That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
