The first market we had really good red curry. When I took my first bit I thought it was so good, but then I felt something hot on my tongue. I quickly got a drink of water. It cooled my mouth,but not my ears. It felt like there was fire coming out of my ears! I jumped up started fanning my ears and stuck my tongue out. And that was my first market experience.
At Chinatown we had really good oyster in egg. It was so good. when you bit into it there was a crunch from the crunchy outside and then a soft middle of oyster and egg. That was the first time I had ever had oyster. It was the best.
After we had eaten a few little dishes we went down this little alley. It was kind of creepy. In that dark little alley we found a restaurant that served Birds Nest Soup. Guess what Bird's Nest Soup is... Guess! Ok I'll tell you. It's bird spit! Well it's not really bird spit. It's just made of a bird's nest and birds use spit to keep the nest together. So it's basically bird's spit. But don't freak out it just tasted like honey. Because they put honey and an egg it. It was really weird eating it because I knew what it was, but after the first bite I had to eat more. The only bad thing was you could feel little pieces of the nest float down your throat.
At most of the markets there is seafood and meat just laying on ice. It's kind of weird, but I guess that's just how they do it. But during the afternoon it smells really bad. It smells like rotting meat which is what it is. And when you walk through the market it's hard to breath. You just want to run away.
