This morning Julianne and I went to Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre. A lot was closed for CNY but we were still able to get what we needed.
I passed by this fruit? and asked the older Chinese man what it was. It was one of those moments when my eyes met his and I realized in a split second that this is going to be interesting. That moment always makes me smile. So did this fruit. Weird!
I asked the man what it is and he gave me one of those thoughtful but puzzled looks and only said, “Ah… you cannot eat.” Well, ok, then. Guess I don’t need to buy it if I can’t eat it. So I just took a picture instead. I suppose they sell them for a reason but if you can’t eat it, what’s it for? Maybe for Ang Mo’s like me to stop and take pictures and give them something to laugh about today.
Then I saw this. Obviously a vegetable since it was in the vegetable section of the market. They were all linked together like sausages. Weird.
Always something interesting, usually in the category of weird, pretty much wherever I go if I keep my eyes open.
