I’m only kidding. I knew that Van City had a China Town.
China-Van-Town
It is actually one of the largest in Canada, after Toronto.
There are a plethora of “medicine” like shops down there,with tonnes of dried scallops and other sea food and fruits, as well as many sea food shops;
This was called preserved vegetable…
I had to show you this;
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!
Whole Jelly Fish! Eegads
There is one special store however, that has AMAZING fruit from far away lands!;
Spectacular Dragon Fruits;
Grabby Boyfriend
Snake Fruit;
Delicious? Perhaps. Scary? For sure.
This weird stuff;
baby jack fruits!!!! Little uns!
My Love’s most favourite;
We asked how much for the whole Jackfruit, the man said it would be for a party, so yeah, allot.
And the thing that made me almost faint;
Where all my monies will go hence forth
Those, my fruity friends, are fresh durian. Yes.
After I sniffed and smelled and inspected for a yeah and a half, I picked my durian and we were on our way
We saw these on our way out;
cubic pastry…?
Interesting.
My fresh durian was the best thing of my life;
om.nom.nom.yes.
I <3 chew Van city China Town. I <3 Chew.
And I <3 Chew too.
<3
Whole jelly fish O_o”….?!
.
I have seen the “preserved vegetable” in Toronto, they look icky lol…
I really want to try durian! Maybe next time I’m in China town. Last time I was there I got perfectly ripe persimmons for CHEAP! I think it was something like 6 for 50 cents. I got lots
OH MAN! 6 for 50 cents! I think that is the best deal I have ever heard of! You win for sure.
V, I know, super gross. lol
The preserved vegetables look more like preserved organs. Eeep.
I love going to China town! Definitely some gross smells and finds! Can’t believe anyone would want to eat a jelly fish. Best place to get black beans though and some delicious fruits and vegies!
haha I know right! Bleck!
What was the name of the Asian grocery store that you got your fresh durian from? And the jack fruit?
Hey! I don’t know off the top of my head. I will keep you posted. <3
Thank you! Will be looking forward to it
You should visit NYC’s Chinatown, too! Lots of exotic fruits and vegetables that you might be enamored with
Oh my goodness! I can only imagine!
