Finding the Best Mangoes
So, I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week. I've heard their mango selection is legendary – apparently, they get shipments daily from different parts of Southeast Asia. My question is: How… more
Honestly, there's no foolproof method, but I've found gently squeezing the mangoes is key. A slightly soft mango, with a nice give, is usually a good sign. Avoid anything rock-hard or overly squishy – those are likely underripe or overripe. Also, look for mangoes with a nice, even color and a fragrant aroma. The more intense the smell, usually the sweeter. Trust your nose! And don't be afraid to ask a ParknShop employee for help – they usually know their produce. Good luck with your mango sticky rice!
Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, and I've heard about those crazy long escalators. Are they really as epic as everyone says, or is it just a tourist trap? I'm picturing a Blade Runner-… more
They're pretty awesome, actually. Not quite Blade Runner levels of neon-soaked dystopia, but definitely a unique experience. It's a long, covered escalator system winding its way up the hillside. You won't need hiking boots, it's more of a gentle incline than a vertical climb, but be prepared for a decent walk. The views are fantastic, though – totally worth it. And yes, plenty of cool little eateries along the way to fuel your ascent. You'll have a great time.
Wow, that sounds amazing! A covered escalator system? That's so much cooler than I imagined. Definitely adding this to my list. Gentle incline is perfect, hate strenuous hikes. Thanks for the heads-up about the food stalls too – I'm always hungry. Seriously, sounds like a must-do.
