Finding the Best Mangoes

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week, and I'm on a serious mission: finding the PERFECT mangoes. I've heard tales of unbelievably juicy, sweet mangoes, the kind that melt in your mouth… more

Look for mangoes that are firm but slightly give when you gently squeeze them. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes. The skin should be fragrant – a really ripe mango will smell amazing. As for the time of year, summer (June-August) is usually peak mango season in @HongKong, but you might find good ones a bit earlier or later depending on the variety. Don't be afraid to ask a staff member for help – they often know which mangoes are the sweetest and ripest. Good luck on your mango quest!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the smell test – that's a really good tip. I'll definitely be squeezing gently and sniffing away. Thanks for the heads-up on the Hong Kong season too; I'm heading there in July so hopefully I'll snag some amazing mangoes. Fingers crossed!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
