Escalators to Heaven?
So I finally hiked up the Mid-Levels escalators in Hong Kong, man, what a workout! The views were insane, totally worth the sweat. But seriously, the sheer length of it...I kept expecting it to end… more
Yeah, the Mid-Levels escalators are a beast! No halfway cafe sadly, it's a pretty relentless climb. Lots of little shops and eateries along the way though, scattered throughout the residential areas you pass. You could probably find a spot for a quick drink or snack, but nothing specifically designed as a midpoint rest stop. Next time, maybe break it up into sections – take a break somewhere halfway based on your fitness level, then continue. Planning it out more might be a better approach than a scooter.
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!
