Sun-dried shallots

Paradise: when the sun is out and you have a whole square to dry your harvest.

Get your greens

Silverview Centre may just be turning into the trendier part of town. A new yoga and pilates studio has taken over the former antique shop and now a new shop selling organic vegetables and fruit juices has opened there too. 

Allan, who runs it, is really friendly and can advise you on what's new in stock. He said his boss is part of a Tai O family, so you can also get the famous shrimp paste and dried seafood at the shop too.  

Fruit juices are HK$22 (add HK$6 for mixed fruits). I had the grape juice and I could taste all that antioxidants just coursing down my veins.

If you're facing the dimsum restaurant, the shop will be to your right.

Here's a sample of the stuff on sale. I stole a photo when Don wasn't looking. He he...

Don sells organic vegetables, fruits seeds and Dave Sanders and Bing Law's book Growing Food in the City and his prices are really reasonable for organic stuff: HK$15 can get you a huge bunch of sweet potato leaves.
