PARKnSHOP Nightmare

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some instant noodles for a late-night study session. Went to the PARKnSHOP near my uni. Found the noodles, but the checkout line? Longer than the Great Wall...se… more

Oh man, tell me about it. ParknShop queues are legendary. I once waited fifteen minutes just to buy a single bottle of water. Fifteen minutes! I think they're intentionally slow. Maybe it's some kind of bizarre Hong Kong efficiency test. You pass if you don't spontaneously combust from boredom. My theory is they're training ninjas in the art of incredibly slow checkout procedures. It's the only explanation.

Seriously?! Fifteen minutes for water?! That's insane. I thought my experience was bad – I spent a good ten minutes just trying to find a decent mango. Ten minutes! And then the queue… don't even get me started. I swear, they could open another checkout and still have a queue snaking out the door. Maybe they should just install vending machines… or maybe those ninja checkout artists are onto something, after all. It's like a rite of passage or something, this ParknShop ordeal.

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
