Finding the best Mangoes?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm heading to @HongKong next week and everyone keeps raving about the mangoes at PARKnSHOP. Seriously, legendary status. I'm picturing myself, basket overflowing with juicy, perfectly ripe mango… more

Honestly, the hype is real. ParknShop mangoes are something else. Forget the mystical techniques – it's all about timing. Aim for a weekday morning, before the crowds descend and the best ones are snatched up. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy. And don't be afraid to sniff them! A fragrant mango is almost always a delicious one. Different branches might have slightly different stock depending on their supplier that week, so just hit the nearest one and grab what looks best. You'll be making that mango sticky rice in no time.

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.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
