The day started with a visit to the Market... i don't really like the markets... markets are overcrowded, hot, sticky... and filled with 'unique' smells... but, today was different, we were on a mission... when MoguJing said: let's spilt into 2 groups... you & cherry queen go buy fish, while we go buy corn/potatoes... i was blinking back, 'Fish??' 'you want me to buy fish?' i can't even differentiate fishes... when i help my mum shop at the market in Seremban Big Market, i would go to the uncle and say, 'Uncle, give me the fish my mum usually buys..' haha.. 'and clean them' -end of story... so, this time was a good experience for me also kua... luckily got Cherry Queen...
So many fishes neatly arranged in heaps.. i tried to remember what my mum used to taught me when i was little. She said, 'the eyes of the fish should glows/shine... that means it's fresh'..so, i was looking really hard for that shine~
very pretty red 'si pan' fish...
Cherry Queen, my saviour... luckily got her help us choose fishes..
another super colorful fish~
the locals selling fishes...
