Another reader has sent me info about Hong Kong Market at Crossroads Mall. That’s located in the stand-alone section of shops in front of Books-a-Million. I am going to visit that market, too. Updates will come!

I really enjoy visiting different ethnic markets. I am very brave with food and always try new things. Anything from chicken feet to canned roasted eel. Fermented and preserved cabbage is good, so is squid jerky. Only things I have tried and didn’t like we’re natto ( it reminds me of how hair smells when it is being blow dried) and sweet and spicy anchovies.. Give me anchovies any other way and I’ll devour them.

When the oriential fresh market was open we would go in on the day new shipments arrived and buy shrimp and green onion rice crepes… And in the summer we’d also get these crunchy little coconut jellos (rau cau dau). Yumyum! Oh how I would love to have a shrimp crepe right now.
