We don’t see cooked soy beans for sale in Australia.  These have chili and maybe garlic on the outside of the pods (which I presume, are not eaten).

Shell them as with peas, chewy.  Not too bad.  Very cheap food.

Compliment these with fresh prawns and a stick or loaf of French-style bread – all at Carrefour.

This one is wild.  Visits me every day for raw sugar.  His mate has a split beak.

 

These oysters in the shell are from the seaside village of Wooli (pronounced wool-eye) on the mid north coast of New South Wales. Purchased at a seafood outlet.  Restaurant prices would be double.

They should be the best quality in the state.  Absolutely no pollution in the Wooli River.  (No industry or agriculture upstream, just a national park).

The price is steep as compared with those huge plastic bags of oysters sold at fish markets in Taiwan.

Come to think of it, oysters in Taiwan are smaller but there are lots of them.  In Australia, oysters in restaurants are  larger than those shown on this plate, yesterday.  (I’ll be spending the NT $500 early in the New Year on my 12th or 13th return visit).

A memoir from ghost month 2007.  I did not know what was going on.  This was the beginning of some very different and memorable new visual experiences. In fact, this seems to be a birthday celebration for the Di-Hwa Street deity. A friend sent this information.

“It seems the parade for the birthday of main deity of the famous temple in di-hwa street”.

“The temple in Di-hwa street, the match-maker deity has become the celebrity in Taiwan, there are approx. over 10,000 lovers get married after obtaining the Red-thread from the match-maker deity”.
