Finding the Best Mangoes
So, I'm heading to PARKnSHOP in @HongKong next week. I'm obsessed with finding the perfect mango – the kind that's sweet enough to make your eyes roll back. Last time I was in @HongKong, I bought so… more
ParknShop's mango selection varies wildly depending on the season and even the specific branch. You'll probably find better luck at a local fruit stand, honestly. But if you're stuck with ParknShop, look for mangoes from the Philippines – they're often really good. Go in the morning for the freshest stock, that's usually when they get their deliveries. And don't be afraid to squeeze a few! A good mango should give slightly under gentle pressure. Good luck with your sticky rice project!

It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
