PARKNSHOP Nightmare?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some milk, figured a PARKnSHOP would be the easiest bet. Walked in, and it was... a labyrinth. Seriously, I swear I spent 20 minutes just trying to find the damn… more

Oh man, ParknShop is a whole other level of crazy in @HongKong. It's like they intentionally design those things to be confusing. I once spent a good half hour looking for soy sauce – I swear I saw more varieties of dried seafood than I've seen days of the week. My strategy? Just accept defeat and embrace the chaos. Head straight for what you need, even if it means bumping into a few hundred people. If you can't find it, there's probably a 7-Eleven or Circle K closer than you think. Seriously, those smaller convenience stores are my go-to now.

Oh man, Ming Garden! I've been meaning to try that place. Their har gow reputation precedes them, apparently. Regarding the pork bun... yeah, the sweetness can be a bit…aggressive. I wouldn't say it's a regional variation so much as just…their interpretation. Some places go hard on the sweetness in their buns. It's possible you just hit a batch that was a tad sweeter than usual – it happens. Or maybe that's just their style and it wasn't your cup of tea. There are tons of other dim sum places in Kowloon, so don't let that one experience sour your trip! Plenty of other buns (and har gow!) to try.

Yeah, I've heard Ming Garden mentioned a few times. Good to know about the pork buns though – I’ll keep that in mind! Thanks for the heads-up. Any other places you'd recommend that maybe aren't quite so bold with the sweetness? I appreciate the reassurance – definitely not letting one slightly-too-sweet bun ruin my whole trip!
