Most older Chinese cities (well, Hong Kong is at least part of the cultural background) had their trades organized in streets (very much like Europe as well). So we headed to the Hong Kong street for dried ingredients from the sea…

As it is a maritime city there is plenty of seafood and especially ingredients which are dried, pickled, sliced, chopped, etc. and then added to whatever you can imagine – so there is a plethora of ingredients as well.

Dried jellyfish, mussels, snails, toads, centipedes…

you name it

and always in between a small slot where a new high-rise is being built

More like a warehouse

some things I wouldn’t like to identify on the original animal

drying mussels

warden of the yard

nice and proper

and cleaning everywhere

people gather in public food-halls for cheap (but very good) grub

have fun and laugh

up and down it goes

to the inside markets

a little bit drab

and solemn

bamboo is used for any kind of scaffolding as well

as we wanted to experience a bit of art we went into some galleries. This one had a very nicely made entry hall…
