the Market

Today I went to the market to buy some veggies for the first time. It was a really neat experience. First of all I don't know any veggies because I don't eat them and to add to that, I wouldn't know what they're called in Chinese. I just know "Gai Lan". But it was cool because I came back with some weird mangos, a purple beet-like fruit, and some giant pineapple that produces these orange wedges. Oh, and of course, some, "Gai Lan"

I didn't get durian this time. I'll save it for after we get married.

Next time: wet market!



That orange thingy is now my new favourite fruit! It smells like a Jackfruit, tastes like a jackfruit/apple but has the texture of a pear and a seed of a durian. So awesome. The vendor called it a "Big Tree Pineapple"
