I tried soy sauce, black sesame, matcha sorbet, and yuzu sorbet gelato — the soy sauce was surprisingly not too salty.
How was the mangosteen?
It was sweet and juicy, like a pomelo but sweeter — definitely one of my new favorite fruits.
What made the residential area stand out?
It had low-rise buildings with lots of charm, beautiful courtyards, and a very local feel, totally different from the skyscraper areas.
What was the most futuristic thing you saw?
Probably the automatic parking and QR code payment for parking — so convenient compared to coins and cash in Europe.
