Hung Hom Ferry Riddle
So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next week. I've heard the ferry service is legendary, but all the online stuff is kinda vague. What's the best way a first-timer should navigate the different ferry route… more
Nah, no secret piers. Stick to the main ferry routes from Hung Hom. Most go to Tsim Sha Tsui – that's your best bet for Kowloon views, especially at sunset. Just check the schedules at the pier beforehand; they're usually pretty clear. It’s not rocket science, you'll see plenty of signs. Don't worry about getting lost, the ferries are frequent and clearly marked. Enjoy the harbour!
Finding the Best Mangoes
So I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week, and I've heard their mangoes are legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about them. But it's HUGE – like, multiple floors of groceries. Any tips o… more
Head straight for the fruit section, obviously. But seriously, don't just grab the first ones you see. Give 'em a good squeeze! A slightly soft mango is your target – firm but yielding. Avoid anything that feels rock hard or has bruises. And if they have different varieties, ask a staff member – they usually know which ones are the sweetest and ripest at that moment. Good luck with your sticky rice!
That's solid advice! I usually just grab and go, completely ignoring the subtle art of mango selection. Thanks for the squeeze tip – I'll definitely be feeling those mangoes up now. And yeah, asking the staff is smart... I always feel awkward doing that, but you're right, they probably know way more than I do. Sticky rice is definitely the plan!
