hong kong garden

if its Black Saturday, we must be in ... Chinatown!

the Brooklyn version, anyway, on 8th Ave. the unique smell won't distinguish the location.

looking for foodies to stock up, we managed not to get overpowered by the ah, stench, and getting as much as we could for less than $50. but part of the fun is looking at all sorts of "Engrish"-type stuff, and other oddities.


the favorite chocolate of specific car afficionados


there's always something fishy in ....


heaven. gunpowder. yep. got it.


i didn't know Mr. Ocampo was hawking his own brand


and beside the tofu jello, we have some turtle ass ... (okay, translation please)


everyone had one back in the '80s - and now it costs friggin' $93.00?!?!?


take us to your leader! but first show us the money!


just in case you want to go native (banana leaves)


why am i not suprised? they have both the coffee powder and substitute candy


eeewww


eeewwwwer


eeewwwwest


to take all that eeewww away, pastries and sago drinks were provided by the Dragon Bay Bakery. wait, was that before or after seeing all that ghastly eels and frogs? can't remember. we also had to burn our clothes thereafter.

still no alternative Pinoy store, except the one in Staten Island. damn. oh well, Brooklyn Chinatown is still a cheap source for foodies. but i still have a craving for Skyflakes, chicharon, ensaymada, cuchinta, and Chippy.
