More food..

More food, because we like eating.
A fruit platter. The bright yellow is pineapple, much sweeter and less bitter than I'm normally used to. The apple like pieces in the upper right is guava (I think!) and the pear looking like item in the upper left is a pear, but much crisper than I'm used to.

We saw these advertised on TV, on the subway. It looked terribly unhealthy so we thought we should eat one. It's a kind of sausage with a cheese center wrapped in pastry with a spicey powdered dressing.

The item in the box didn't quite match the picture. It was quite edible, although probably not the sort of thing you should have more than one of. Suspect it is not a traditional local cuisine.

This is Auntie Annes, who do pastry style things, including the delicacy above. One of the thing that is quite noticeable is the staff levels in such facilities. This little cafe had 9 people working there, plus a waiter for the 2m x 2m area beside it for patrons to sit in. Total 10 people! The actual floor space they were standing in was about 4m long x 1.5m wide with a small island in the middle. Every one of these facilities had about triple the staff levels we are used to seeing.

Chicken satay skewers. The sauce was ace, peanut & chilli. The salad contains green chillis, onions and cucmber. It was not really my thing.

Nicole's chicken, noodle and green thing (similar to Bok Choy) dish. Both these are from another shopping center style food hall.

These are peanuts. Left to right are coconut cream flavoured, coffee flavoured and wasabi coated peanuts. It took me a while to work out why none of the prices on the goods matched the prices on the shelf.. The practice back home of placing the price on the shelf on which the goods sit is reversed here.

Kangaroo Cashew Nuts, with American Taste. For the American Kangaroo nut fancier..
