China Town

Last week end we went to Chinatown area. The Chinese New Year market is officially started on 12 Jan, so we wanted to check that out. And since it looked like it won't be raining, so off we go.

The area was packed with people: tourists and locals, well it was week end... so you expect lots of people. All shops and stalls were colored red. Lots of red & gold colored decorations, cards, ang pao envelopes, traditional chinese dress (of course in red), plastic pineapples and oranges. Everything that associated with CNY can be found there on top of the normal stuffs that normally are there.

There were stall selling sweets and mochi. Lots of cakes and cookies. All looked nice and yummy, but we didn't buy any. Too hot and too many people around turned off our shopping mood. Then we walked pass this stall. Huge stall with lots of people in it. Making transaction of course. The stall sold dried goods. Meat, chicken, fish, squid... any kind of dried goods. Lots of chinese sausages hanged (see pic). Chicken wings and feet stuffed in plastic container. And juicy pork thigh. Hmmm! Looks even yummier than those mochi. But again we didn't buy any, just took couple of pics. Oh, one more thing, there were long (really long!) queue in front of Lim Chee Guan -the famous bakwah store.
