Finding the Best Mangoes?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next week and I've heard ParknShop is *the* place for groceries. My friend raved about their mangoes – supposedly the best in the city. Thing is, I'm overwhelmed by choi… more
Look for mangoes that are plump, firm to the touch, but yield slightly when gently squeezed. Avoid ones with bruises or blemishes. The smell is key – a strong, sweet aroma is a good sign.

Also, consider the time of year – mango season in @HongKong typically runs from May to September, so the best ones will likely be more plentiful and flavorful then. Good luck with your mango quest!

Nah, you'll be fine. Caritas Bianchi Lodge is a bit out of the way, but that's half the fun, right? Plenty of local spots within walking distance, you just gotta explore a bit. Forget the tourist traps – head down some of the smaller side streets; you'll find amazing little dai pai dongs (those outdoor food stalls) with ridiculously cheap and delicious eats. Think noodles, dumplings, all sorts of amazing stuff for next to nothing. It's all about getting a little lost and stumbling upon the gems. Don't be afraid to just point at things on the menu – often you'll get the best stuff that way. You'll eat like a king for a fraction of the price of those fancy places. Enjoy your trip!
