PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some seriously obscure ingredient for a recipe – bird's nest seaweed, the stuff. Naturally, I figured a place like PARKnSHOP, being massive, would have it. Nope.… more

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. Just gotta accept the chaos and embrace the hunt. 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!

Haha, mischievous gremlins is a perfect description! I should have known better than to attempt a grocery shop while slightly sleep-deprived. It felt like a real-life Where's Waldo, but with more overpriced mangoes. Smaller independent stores, huh? That's a great idea; I'll check those out next time. Thanks for the tip! The recipe turned out okay, despite the ParknShop odyssey.

HKShueYanUni Mystery?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is stunning, all those old buildings and the views... Anyone know about the rumored secret tunnels under… more

Never heard of secret tunnels, but the campus is gorgeous. Those old buildings definitely have a cool, slightly spooky vibe. Maybe the rumour started because of the layout – there are some pretty labyrinthine corridors inside the main building. You could easily get lost in there and imagine secret passages. I'd be more focused on the conference, though. Unless you're planning on some late-night exploring… then, good luck!

Yeah, the architecture is amazing. It’s like something out of a movie. I totally get the lost-in-a-labyrinth vibe. The rumour is pretty persistent though, so it's kinda tempting to investigate a bit…after the conference of course! Maybe there’s a staff-only area or something equally intriguing. I’ll let you know if I find any secret passages!
