As promised a small glimpse into Kowloons fruit market, your address for all things "sweet" ...

 

The market is located close to Shanghai street, where all restaurant supplies can be found in Hong Kong.

Melons ...

Grapes.

Apples & co ...

Exotica ...

The cherries looked fantastic!

Hmm. Technically not fruit O.o

WP_20170715_11_12_58_Pro.thumb.jpg.1266eb9ebb57e80cf9c3aa16e5cac0e2.jpg

 

Drinks. Soooo fresh ...

WP_20170715_11_16_17_Pro.thumb.jpg.3cc5f938eab69c714f19188d10eeb4bd.jpg

 

The market has a distinct "wholesale" feeling to it ...

Workers are here since the very early morning and spend their "afterhours" playing Mahjong ...

WP_20170715_11_17_50_Rich.thumb.jpg.de39de8ffb0b65d76bc6aaa813f8aea7.jpg

 

... or contemplating about the meaning of life.

Close to the market, a herbal tea shop. Cantonese are very health conscious and you can get any kind of tea for curing heat-induced insomnia to the dreaded foot asthma for just 20 HKD xD

Of course everything tastes like its very healthy ...

WP_20170715_11_22_24_Rich.thumb.jpg.7e7c55d4012b6e7d8f80324133eeba3c.jpg

 

And if that doesn't help, you can but some tonics and ointments in the nearby pharmacy ...

WP_20170715_11_23_26_Rich.thumb.jpg.8a97223a71ce1084cd8edd167de612ae.jpg

 

If you walk a bit north you'll close in to Mong Kok, home of the famous "ladies market", a very popular night market selling everything from kitschy souvenirs to high quality copy watches. Of course, nothing to be bought there at daytime but the area has also some very good street food.

Snacks ...

WP_20170715_11_46_39_Rich.thumb.jpg.1216ddc05f4bab81b1da78ba671be2f6.jpg

 

e.g.  battered and fried veggies ...

WP_20170715_11_46_44_Rich.thumb.jpg.1dc0d0d1075716c232b84f48886f8c62.jpg

 

... skewered variety meats, stinky tofu ...

WP_20170715_11_48_40_Rich.thumb.jpg.9d93fdd131e19b8067ee0ddff2790d4b.jpg

 

... and of course curry fish balls - maybe the most iconic street snack. Fish (or cuttlefish) balls simmered in flavorful curry sauce and sold at 15 HKD for a noodlecup full of spicy goodness. I believe @rarerollingobject is particularly fond of them.

So popular you can buy it in the convenience store for making at home ...

And for those with a sweet tooth: Waffles :)
