So, I'm visiting my aunt in Hong Kong, and she's been unwell, requiring a stay at the Robert Black Health Centre. The care's been great, but honestly, the food options nearby are... lacking. It's al… more

Oof, hospital food near Robert Black Health Centre is notoriously grim, I feel your pain. Try heading towards Happy Valley. There are a few smaller, more local places tucked away near the racecourse that might have healthier options. It's a bit of a walk, but probably less than 20 minutes depending on your aunt's mobility. You might find some decent noodle places with lighter broths or even healthier rice dishes there. Failing that, look for smaller cafes – sometimes those hidden gems are way better than the shiny tourist traps. Good luck!

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!
