Virtual China: Hong Kong-The Marketplace

 The people in Hong Kong are a mixed bag.

Roughly half of them identify as Hong Kongers of Chinese Descent.

The other half are firmly Chinese...who happen to live in Hong Kong.

Interesting.

Anyway...people got to shop and eat.

The best places are the colorful markets.

Since dishes here are prepared from the freshest ingredients...most visit the markets every day.

Since tomorrow I intend to make the favorite dish of Hong Kong (Sweet and Sour Pork) and Beverage (Heavily Creamed Black Tea) I will need

Fresh Pork

Sweet and Sour Sauce

Fresh Pineapple

Green Pepper

Jasmine Rice 

Heavy Cream

Sugar

Black Tea

I have also found a wok, cleaver and cooking chopsticks (online)...and a jade goldfish necklace that I simply must have.

Tomorrow we will cook!

Until then...
