Chinatown Morning

This morning is a shopping for groceries in Chinatown.  The Wife wants to buy some dried sea cucumbers.  Sea cucumbers are "delicacies" and very expensive.  She bought the cheapest available after checking out several Chinese Medical Halls.  The price is almost $200 for one kg.  Some runs up to $2,000 per kg.  I did not like sea cucumbers as they tasted weird to me.  My mum now eats sea cucumber regularly and is looking younger and better.

After the sea cucumber purchase, she went to the wet market and purchase a red spotted garouper.  We had steamed garouper for our dinner and it tasted fabulous!  My wife is an excellent cook when it comes to steaming fish.

Nowadays, we are eating more hawker food too. Homecooking takes lots of time to clean up. Cooking is the fun part. Washing up after can be tedious.
