can be fun if you enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of the fresh market. The strongest of the smells comes from the fish tables with the second strongest coming from the herb vendors. All in all it is a very pleasant experience. Lest you believe that the meats are not worthy to be purchased, know that the vendors keep pretty sanitary stalls. I would not be afraid to eat the meat sold in this market.
Sweet potatoes are much preferred over white or red potatoes.
All kinds of fresh vegetables are available from the known to the unknown.
The fresh fruit is sweet and juicy.
The choices in fish are enormous, both fresh and salt water. Many of the fish are kept in water and you will find that they are still very much alive and swimming around. Judging from the market, fish is outeaten by a margin of 2 to 1.
The pork you see is all very fresh, probably butchered in the early hours of the day.
makes me laugh a bit to wonder what the USDA would say about the 'standards' in the market in HK. i'm a bit jealous of all the variety after spending a bit shopping at my local grocery store today. how are the prices?
ReplyDeletenot that i'd eat all that stuff though!
ReplyDeleteIf you cook it, it's fine. The USDA would probably shut down the markets - probably only the meat market.
