Wet Markets

I realized that going to wet markets can be fun and enjoyable (ignoring the smell, wet and sometimes slippery floor, of course). Previously I go to hypermarkets but now I prefer to buy my fresh from the wet market.

These stalls give excellent services with no extra cost at all. The chicken seller removes the skin, bones, fat and chop the chicken according to the requested sizes. The fish monger scales the fish and removes the "internals". The butcher chops the
meat according to your requirements. Hypermarkets do not provide these extra services except for cleaning the fish. Another good point is that the fish and meat sold in wet markets are more fresh.

But best of all is that I have learnt and is still learning how to choose vegetables. How do I do it? Very simple. I just ask politely the person who is choosing the same vegetable as myself and she will definitely tell you.

Let me share 2 tips with you. (1) How do you choose ladies fingers? Snap the tails. If they break easily, then these are "young ones". Take. If they don't, then these are "old ones". Throw them back onto the heap!! (2) How do you choose crunchy and sweet cucumbers? Choose the ones whose colour is light green. The lighter the better. Dark green ones have a bitter taste.

So guys, will indeed be very much appreciated if you can share some of your valuable
tips with me too. Thanks ya.
