Playing housewife
Today I play Hong Kong housewife. Next to my service apartment, is a huge market for the local. I was like kids in the candy store checking out the fresh produces, jumping live fish and loads of fat dripping BBQ pork. Unlike KL, where vendors just have stalls, here everyone have shopfronts. The tofu shop has such a wide varieties of dofu, from soft to round, to flavoured and even fresh soya milk. I watched how a big tray of dofu was being cut up. Gingerlly the dofu vendor placed a flat broad piece of metal board on the soft silky dofu, and with a knife she cut along the edge of the metal board. With a zen like manner, she then cut criss cross into multiple square blocks. The chicken here is fat and I think expensive but fish and prawns are cheap. Cherries and strawberries are abundant and they are cheap too. The chili and ginger overhere are huge.1. Two large stripes of 6 inches long fish fillets - HKD10
2. Capsicums, 1 giant chili and two huge potato (3 times the size of Malaysian kentang) - HKD18
3. Two huge onions, fresh mushrooms, big fat snow peas - HKD 12
4. Half a chicken - HKD 32
5. Dry beancurd - HKD 12
6. Six eggs - HKD 6
Total cost that is enough for 4 cookings are : HKD 90 (RM 37.8)
