After our hike in the heat this morning, we decided we needed to go somewhere cool for the afternoon. Luckily, the jar of Summer Fun provided some inspiration and we headed up to Chinatown Center to explore the Asian supermarket.
While it wasn't quite as cool as this picture, it was an interesting experience. We saw lots of unusual fruits and vegetables and tanks of live fish as well as some (very recently) gutted fish... I believe there was also some squid in the mix there somewhere.
We picked a few new things to try - some lychee fruit and a young coconut (no idea what I'm going to do with that yet!) - as well as gathering a few staples that are often hard to find at the regular grocery.
Then we went home to enjoy a dinner of spring rolls with peanut sauce and steamed pork buns.
Yummy!
