Some discoveries back on Hong Kong island. For example, who knew that every morning around 7am a makeshift market happens on the Aberdeen waterfront? The Tanka “Boat people” come in to buy vegetables and sell fish. I was surprised to find such an “Asian” scene – old women squatting over fish or leafy greens, spread out on the ground among milling crowds of (also mostly elderly) shoppers – in my own backyard. Also, a new cafe in Shek Tong Tsui, Artisan Garden above, and below sea-grapes from the tasty “Orchid Veggie” vegetarian fusion restaurant in Kennedy Town.
