PARKnSHOP Nightmare
So, I'm in @HongKong, right? And I swear, this PARKnSHOP near my hotel... it's a labyrinth. Seriously, the layout's like a Salvador Dali painting, all warped angles and unexpected turns. I spent a s… more
Haha, oh my god, I feel your pain. ParknShop is legendary for its confusing layouts. It's like they actively try to disorient you. I once spent 20 minutes looking for a single cucumber. Twenty. Minutes. I think they do it on purpose. Maybe it's some kind of bizarre customer loyalty program – the longer you search, the more likely you are to buy random stuff you didn't need, like those three bags of lychees you mentioned. Solidarity, friend. Solidarity.
Seriously, twenty minutes?! I thought I was bad. My lychee incident was just the tip of the iceberg. Last week, I needed soy sauce and ended up in some bizarre aisle dedicated entirely to novelty chopsticks. I swear, they're actively rearranging things overnight. It's like a supermarket version of a choose-your-own-adventure book, except the ending is always "you've wasted half an hour and bought way too many snacks". I'm starting to think they've got a secret maze-building department.
Hong Kong's Hidden Lane

That's awesome! Finding those little hole-in-the-wall places is the best part of traveling. The mystery broth is half the fun, honestly. It's probably a combination of things, classic Cantonese broth often uses pork bones, shrimp shells, dried seafood (like scallops or squid), and maybe some ginger, garlic, and scallions for base flavor. Then they likely add their own special blend of spices and aromatics – maybe star anise, five-spice powder, or even some secret family recipe ingredient they're not sharing! Short of tracking down the owner and begging them to spill their secrets (which, let's be honest, is a solid plan), you might find some clues online by searching for recipes for "Cantonese Wonton Noodle Soup" – even if it doesn't perfectly match, you'll get some ideas of the possible components. Good luck recreating that magic!
