Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the general impression that wet markets are smelly, dirty, and slippery, Christine finds that they are actually fun places to walk around and shop. As a French lady, Christine’s learning experience has not been without disappointments, such as being overcharged, given old veggies or pushed to buy more. Nonetheless, in Hong Kong, most sellers are generally very kind. Like in France, vendors remember the preferences of their regular clients. _e kindness of many sellers help her overcome the fear of speaking Cantonese. They even take time to explain to her how to cook this and that. It is the warm atmosphere that she loves most. Christine finds it exciting to discover lots of new foodstuffs such as Chinese yam. She even discovers ingredients, such as lye water, a kind of alkaline solution that is not used in Western countries. Last but not least, this book helps us understand the real French lifestyle which often sounds so “elegant” and sometimes “mysterious” to most people, who are curious to know the answers to the following questions: Do French eat foie gras and escargots every day? Do they always have meals that last for ages? Do all French people have a wine cellar full of good bottles? … and a lot more. Be it foreigners or Chinese people, everybody can explore the wet markets and learn to appreciate their atmosphere and benefits. Using the English-Cantonese vocabulary list and the guide about market specificities, start your own journey right now!

Download or read book Golden Boy written by Martin Booth and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At seven years old, Martin Booth found himself with all of Hong Kong at his feet. His father was posted there in 1952, and this memoir is his telling of that youth, a time when he had access to the corners of a colony normally closed to a "Gweilo," a "pale fellow" like him. His experiences were colorful and vast. Befriending rickshaw coolies and local stallholders, he learned Cantonese, sampled delicacies such as boiled water beetles and one-hundred-year-old eggs, and participated in vibrant festivals. He even entered the forbidden Kowloon Walled City, wandered into a secret lair of Triads, and visited an opium den. From the plink-plonk man with his dancing monkey to the Queen of Kowloon (a crazed tramp who may have been a Romanov), Martin Booth saw it all---but his memoir illustrates the deeper challenges he faced in his warring parents: a broad-minded mother who embraced all things Chinese and a bigoted father who was enraged by his family's interest in "going native." Martin Booth's compelling memoir, the last book he completed before dying, glows with infectious curiosity and humor and is an intimate representation of the now extinct time and place of his growing up.

Download or read book Hong Kong Stories written by Ho Hui Sum and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There used to be an American TV series in the late 1950s and early 1960s set in New York City – the Big Apple – called Naked City. Its stories were always introduced with the line, ‘There are eight million stories in the naked city’. The same could be said of Hong Kong – the Pearl of the Orient – which has also been described as ‘borrowed place, borrowed time’. It’s the stories of the people that give substance and authenticity to a city, whatever the size. They form the culture and rhythm of the beating heart. In this compilation of just a few stories, we can gain a glimpse into what drives Hong Kong’s pulse and culture.
