Yeah, ParknShop is a maze. I swear they rearrange everything every other week. It's like they employ a team of mischievous gremlins to reshuffle the shelves overnight. No map, sadly.

Next time, try a smaller, independent grocery store; you might find a better selection of weird stuff there and avoid the fluorescent-lit purgatory that is a large ParknShop. Good luck with your recipe!

The recipe turned out okay, despite the ParknShop odyssey.

It's not exactly hidden, more like… overlooked. You'll probably see more local families there, fewer tourists. It's a bit overgrown in places, so wear decent shoes. And bring mosquito spray!
