I thought you might be interested on how chinese people buy groceries/foods. So, I decided to make a post about food markets and street eats.
We have big supermarkets, but 90% of people prefer to buy groceries in food markets. You can find fresh veggies
fresh bamboos (my favorites)
meat
poultry (super fresh and live)
fish/seafood, also super fresh and live
dry seafoodsoy productsThere is also stand that makes dishes for you. You buy the main ingredients and they cook for you. For example, fried fish. He first fries the fish
put them in the sauce and marinate for 5 min
it's delicious!!!
Also, sometimes you can find stands of veggies/fruits on the street.
Street food is common at night.
grilled meat/chicken/seafood.
A couple who make different kinds of stir-fry noodles. We bought from them
Fruits
more street food
chesnuts
look how many people on the street
this is a typical food/snacks stores. These are dry mushrooms, fruits, seafood.
candies
more candies
dry fruits (most of them seasoned)

Your blog is so much fun to read! It TOTALLY makes me miss home (i grew up in HK and have family in Taiwan) but now that I'm stuck in the US I guess I have to live vicariously through blogs like yours and eat a lot of the stuff it looks like you eat (haha like oatmeal! yum!). Keep up you wonderful blog and thank you!! :)
