Grocery Glimpse #1



I am attempting to add pictures to the blog in the space I want them to go.  We'll see how this attempt goes before trying to post pictures of our house and area.  I did promise grocery photos so you could all be amazed at my powers of navigation through this gastric experience.  I guess it did not surprise me that the supermarkets would be so interesting, but some of these take the cake!  For example:


Would you like some prawn crackers?  Prawn is very big here.  There are prawns in almost every Chinese and Malay dish.  You can buy fresh prawns, frozen prawns, prawn paste.....Bubba Gump woulda loved it here!  



                                                                  Prawn Crackers





How about fish balls?  (not that kind, silly!)  I'm not really sure why you would want to buy fish that has been shaped into tiny balls, but what do I know?  I don't buy it formed into sticks and breaded either.   These are usually near the frozen duck and frozen chicken parts. ( Yes, parts.)

                                                                          Fish Balls



How about everyone's favorite snack: seaweed chips!  These make me think of my friends Suzie and Kara.

                                                                      Seaweed Chips



And now I truly admit that I am a big yellow-bellied chicken.  I just couldn't pull out the camera for a shot of beef lungs, fish heads, or pig's feet.  So sorry.  Maybe next time.


Until next time,
Vicki
