street market sunday
Sunday, Jul 24, 2011 9:41PM / Members only
On a sunny Sunday afternoon, i find myself wondering a street market in Causeway Bay not too far from where i live. The hustle and bustle of the market is at first very overwhelming, but i grab my camera and get to work...
Fresh, vibrant, and varied, greens bring bright colors to an otherwise ordinary Hong Kong street. Fruits and vegetables are of plenty here and i can see why, easy to find, easy to cook, yummy to eat. its a wonder why back home we don't follow this diet more. its hard to just stand and take it all in because you stand for a moment and people will push and shove their way to grab what they need and scurry off. with all the movement around me, i stand still and take a breathe and think...of nothing. can you think? or are these sights and sounds enough to keep your mind too busy.
this and that is found all around. most is identifiable and some is not..but with these colors and aromas it doesn't matter, its edible and i want it all.
chop chop! a man, a cleaver, one job done with perfection.
Hong Kong, seafood..seafood, Hong Kong. Can there be a better place to find fresh (still living fresh) fish? If so i haven't found it, and i live where ocean meets land in the states. When i first stumbled upon this market i was in shock at the amount of fish and seafood offered here. While most fish are still living, its the more unusual sea creatures i seek. From typhoon shelter crab, sea cucumbers to snails, its hard to imagine what they don't eat from the ocean.

Surf City Nights:main st. hb
killarney's fish tacos/boba chow mein king
Tuesday nights in Huntington Beach brings Surf City nights, full of food, bands, shops, and more. Since moving to Huntington, my bf and i have never missed a night. Some cold, and some hot, we always seem to make it to Main St. And everything we get our favorite things: food. Tacos is our first stop, made by Killarney Pub & Grill, yes an irish pub, and they are making the BEST street tacos you can imagine, and for cheap. A buck for carnitas, carne, chicken. 2 for fish and shrimp. Yummy! And we always wash it down with Boba tea, from the only chinese food i know to just be at flea markets...no actually restaurante.

Salsa Sunday
Monday, Apr 18, 2011 11:03AM / Members only
Sunday has arrived and i want to introduce something new here at Eat, Write, Evolve. Salsa Sundays. And it goes a little something like this.Now of course I enjoy my fair share of tacos, burritos, taquitos, & chips; but i have to say there's a small place in my heart for the salsa. Whether you spoon it on your taco, dunk your chips in it or sneak some home with in your to go container, salsa is what makes any dish more memorable. Their taste, their heat, their consistency, their ingredients and of course their flavor. I look for new salsa where ever i go, new grocery stores, swap meets, street fairs and the occasional recipe. i find myself on a constant search for the newest, freshest, and hottest salsas out there.So lets begin with our first.El NopalitoRoasted Salsa
i found this little beauty at a locals farmers market store in my neighborhood called Farmer's Harvest. My first day there one of the owners recommended it to me, and i was hooked. Found in the refrigeration section, usually the best place to find the freshest and most flavorful salsas, this is one of many offered by the same company.This salsa has all the right stuff. fresh ingredients and at a minimum, only 5! At first bite you can taste the robust flavor of the roasted tomatoes and fresh ingredients, but it quickly fades directly into heat. And its a very lingering heat at that, all in all leaving you wanted more. its more on the thin side as consistency goes, but the occasional chunks of chopped cilantro and green onions, which i might add is what really makes this salsa stand out in flavor. there is a fine line in between the roasted flavor and the killer heat at the end where green onion and cilantro aide in the balance between them.8/10 overall
