Hong Kong Supermarket Mystery
So I'm in @HongKong, right? And I've been hitting up PARKnSHOP pretty regularly. It's everywhere! But I noticed something weird. Their dragon fruit always seems…off. Not bad, just…different. Not… more
Totally get you. ParknShop is ubiquitous, right? I've noticed similar inconsistencies with their produce, not just dragon fruit. Sometimes the mangoes are rock hard, others perfectly ripe. My guess? Supply chain stuff. They probably source from different farms depending on availability and price. Seasonal variations definitely play a role, but the quality fluctuation seems more than just that. Maybe they have different suppliers for different stores, even within the same city. It’s a big operation, so consistency might be a challenge. Nothing to do with bad fruit necessarily, just… inconsistent fruit.
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
