Sunday market


Sunday market beside Te Papa Museum. Our first visit, and likely to become a weekly affair, where we can get fresh produce direct from the farmers at a cheaper price than at the supermarkets.

Interestingly, the majority of the farmers here are Chinese (don't know which generation, but they speak Cantonese on top of very good English). We were told they are commercial growers from Palmerston North, not your backyard gardeners. It's almost like a Chinese market, where you can find youtiao and douhua, and we got pork buns and chee cheong fan for lunch here too :)

Yes, I'm very auntie now, and counting the penny difference of every apple or tomato bought to maximise my household allowance. hmmm...not sure about cooking for many mouths, since I have only been cooking in small quantities. hehehe...we shall see.

Yes too, the crutches are the aftermath of a ski accident. On the way to recovery.
