i buy food from the wet market. except for chicken, because that it's on level 3 of the market, and the escalators almost never works! (i know i know, im lazy)
buying from the wet market is a way of life for me. i grew up in singapore, tagging along behind my mother to the wet markets to get food. i learnt that, it's the fresh produce (buying seasonal food as to buying imported), eating seasonal food saves our pocket, food packed in neighbourhood supermarkets are usually refrigerated longer, has a smell which i cannot stomach. i also notice the vegetable produce in these supermarkets are not as bright or fresh looking.
places like citysuper and threesixty may have great, fresher, organic imported produce. i cannot afford them.
do i fear if local wet market produce carry steriods/ hormone/ any other sort of poison? sometimes i think about it. but i also know that in hk, the government is also stringent in food and health checks. in fact, the chicken part at the wet market in aberdeen have been closed down a few times when they do not meet the checks.
