We don't need to go to the supermarket to get fresh produce. At the pier, there are always two regulars – I call them the Vegetable Lady and the Banana Uncle because I can't communicate more than "How much?" to either of them.
And sometimes, when the weather's good and the tourists spill out from the ferries, there is also Vegetable Lady 2.0, who sets up her stall outside the McDonald's.
Her vegetables are always so fresh that they catch the eye of many home cooks.
When I was there buying her beetroots (HK$13 a catty in case you're wondering), a couple stopped by and got some too.
Because I brought her luck, and translated for her, she gave me two stalks of spring onions. I'll definitely be back!
