During the weekend I went to one of the local Chinese supermarkets. Usually when I go to any store and need to get something specific, I walk straight to that aisle, get the product and leave.

Not at a Chinese supermarket, nuh uh. You have to start at the one end and work your way through to the other end. Then back again. Very important to repeat this process.

I was amazed at the beautiful tea sets. Even though the tea pot that was on display was broken, I would love to go back and buy a few of these. They are too beautiful not to share, and great as gifts. My mom has already placed an order for a set.

R150 = a little over $20 (for the entire 7 piece set).

Rice bowls and tea cups.

The most expensive thing on the shelf was $6 and a few cents.

Pretty little sake cups.

After a long time of browsing, reading labels and trying to figure out ‘what is inside’, I headed over to the snack aisle. Now for some reason they do not have any English words on these packs.

I saw a rather large (well-built) Asian man take a pack from the top shelf without hesitating. I took one too, I mean, he looked healthy, so it will be ‘safe’. Later when I got home I noticed that there is one English word on the packaging – ‘happy’. Suspicious? Nah, it was tasty. Still have no idea what I ate though.

One thing is for sure, I did not buy any of these snacks. Found in the ‘egg aisle’.

Tea time!
