Finding the Best Mangoes

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong and hit up this PARKnSHOP – massive place, seriously. I was overwhelmed! Spent ages just looking at the sheer variety of stuff. But my mission? Finding the perfect mangoes. I en… more

Smell them! Seriously, a good mango should have a strong, sweet aroma. The ones that are just slightly soft to the touch, not rock hard, and smell amazing are usually the winners. Also, look for mangoes with a nice even color – avoid any with bruises or blemishes. That usually indicates they weren’t handled well. And finally, don't be afraid to gently squeeze them; a little give is good, but they shouldn’t be mushy. Good luck on your mango quest!

That's great advice! I never really thought about smelling them, I always just kinda went for the ones that looked the best. Guess I'll be sniffing my way through the fruit stand next time. Thanks!

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
