Finding the best Mangoes?

Honestly? Even locals struggle with that sometimes. ParknShop's mangoes are... a lottery. The best bet is to gently squeeze them. A slightly soft mango, giving just a little, is usually perfect. Avoid anything rock-hard or overly squishy. Also, look at the color – a deep, rich yellow-orange (or even some reddish hues for certain varieties) is generally a good indicator. But even then, you might get a dud! Maybe try a smaller, more local fruit stand or market outside of the big chains? You might find better quality and fresher mangoes there, but you'll likely pay a bit 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.
