Hong Kong Market : In Photos

22 November 20103 Comments

When you talk about Hong Kong, you’d most likely imagine beautiful night shots, the harbour, the trams, the mountain view, etc.

But today, I’d like to share with you shots of what many ‘tourists’ may not see when they only spend a few days there.

Shots of its busy markets!

After we left Hong Kong Disneyland, we went to Hong Kong Island and stayed for two nights at a hotel near Causeway Bay.

And the area was SO happening!


The small alleys were busy with people selling fruits, fresh fish, meat, all kinds of stuff.

And these shots were taken on a Friday, at about 11.30am!

We love how the kids got to see and observe all this, LIVE, for their very first time.

Because this is definitely something that we wouldn’t see back in Singapore!

Btw, we saw STACKS of these crabs at SO many corners of the market.

And I really mean, STACKS!

We couldn’t speak Cantonese, and we obviously couldn’t read what it said, so we did wonder what these crabs are called, and how they’re supposed to be cooked.

If you do know what these are, please share with us?

Anyway.

We found a little restaurant by the road side and had our lunch there.

And I love this shot above.

One shot that tells you so many things.

The interior of the eating place.
Daddy who took the shot.
Mommy who’s speaking to the man, trying to order lunch (in English and her broken Mandarin!).
Kids who played with the lunch menus while waiting.

And of course, the waiter at the back who’s busy cleaning the ceiling with his mop! Heh.

And the food?

Ah. Let’s just say that I was SO thankful to God that I could enjoy every single bite of our lunch (note:morning sickness magically disappeared during our trip!)

We had simple meals for lunch that day. But they’re all VERY yummy.

Some people told me that it could be due to the weather there, ie. Food tastes yummier when the weather is nice and cool.

Oh well. Whatever it is, we heart HK street food!
