Canningvale Markets Experience

This market place is epic.

Somehow I was craving this Chinese dish that Mum makes. It's a mixture of chicken liver and preserved/pickled vegetables, with maybe some other added natural flavours. Living with Mum last week meant that whatever I wanted to eat, Mum would make it for me. Teehee. So spoilt. I told Mum I really wanted to eat this dish, so we headed off to the markets where there is guaranteed sale of chicken liver.

Za Jing Jiang mixed with chicken liver- YUM.

The butcher there is massive! Makes Leonard's look epic fale, even though it has a nice set up and uniform. Anyway, I took many-a-photos of the weird and wonderful items available for sale. Some were fairly surprising to me... as I thought people here wouldn't eat those animal parts.

Not as scary as the time of when I was in Guangzhou though. We walked pass a shop that had many animals in cages- cats, rabbits, snakes... all the usual scenary of a pet store. However, when we walked closer and read the signs attached to the cages, my world nearly died. On the rabbit cage, this was what the sign said:

"$22/kg"

It was a food store. Not a pet store. Food. Store. Live animals. Cats. Rabbits. *virtual dies*

Anyway, here are the photos of the animal parts that you don't see everyday at any old butcher's! May be a bit gross... just stay focused on the intriguing side of the story =)

Pork tongues and ox tails. Don't think I've tried either. Not sure if I want to either.

Pork feeeeet! These are like massive ham logs. Maybe about 10kg?

Ox tongue! It's spotty like cow skin! Lamb necks. So thick.

Braaaiinnnssssss ftw.

Yes... it was an experience. Other than the butcher's... I quite liked the market as a whole. It had a diner in the centre surrounded by various stores- fruit and vegetable stores, bakery, convenience store... just to name a few. It was awesome. I've never been to a market place like that before... so it was... an experience.

Thoughts: Loving my new jacket from Forever New. Loving the pink nail polish Lisan gave me. Can uni please not start next week. Dancing could so be my second job. Nice seeing old friends today, so much happy tears shed from laughing... feels awesome. Need to practice camwhoring skills... I'm loosing them!

Hui Hui ^^b
