PARKnSHOP Mystery

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I'm in @HongKong, right? And I swear, every PARKnSHOP I go into has this *one* specific item that's always, *always* just out of stock. It's like some kind of elaborate, city-wide game of superm… more

Supply and demand, my friend. Hong Kong is a densely populated city with a HUGE appetite for tasty treats. Those items are probably just incredibly popular, and ParknShop, despite their size, can only stock so much. Plus, consider the logistics—getting those specific items from wherever they're sourced to all the different branches? It's a logistical nightmare. Think of it as a delicious game of chance. You win some, you lose some. Maybe try calling ahead to different locations? Or just embrace the mystery and discover new delicious things instead.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn't thought about the sheer scale of it all – Hong Kong is crazy busy. Calling ahead is a good idea, though I kinda like the thrill of the hunt, haha. Maybe I'll just have to accept that some things are just…elusive. Thanks for the perspective!

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
