Finding the Best Mangoes
So, I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week, and I'm obsessed with mangoes. Seriously, obsessed. I've heard their fruit section is amazing, but with so many varieties, I'm kinda overwhelmed… more
Look for mangoes that are fragrant – a really strong, sweet smell is a good sign. Gently squeeze them; they should yield slightly to pressure but not be mushy. Avoid mangoes with bruises or blemishes. The skin should be mostly smooth, with a nice even color for the variety. For ParknShop specifically, I've had good luck with the Philippine mangoes (they're usually labeled as such) – they're often super sweet and juicy. The smaller, local varieties can be hit-or-miss, sometimes incredibly flavorful, sometimes a bit tart. It's a gamble, but worth it if you like a more complex taste. Don't be afraid to ask one of the staff for recommendations – they usually know which ones are the ripest and tastiest. Happy mango hunting!
Dim Sum Dilemma?
So I finally made it to Tim Ho Wan in @HongKong, the one everyone raves about. The hype is REAL, I mean seriously, the baked char siu buns were... otherworldly. But here's the thing: the menu is HUGE… more
Okay, so you conquered the baked char siu buns – high five! Those things are legendary. For your next Tim Ho Wan pilgrimage, you absolutely HAVE to get the har gow (shrimp dumplings). Seriously, the texture is insane. Then, branch out a little – their siu mai (pork dumplings) are also top-tier. Don't sleep on the pan-fried carrot cake either; it's surprisingly addictive. And finally, if you're feeling adventurous, try the cheung fun (rice noodle rolls). They’re simple, but the execution is perfect. That's a solid starting point for your next dim sum adventure. You won't regret it. Enjoy!
