Some of the choices available ranged from sweet mango to deathly durian.


We decided to be adventurous and try the durian mochi. Definitely an acquired taste! Kind of sweet and creamy but with a strangely bitter finish.


We then continued our walk on to Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market.


The market was situated on Reclamation Street, named as such as it was built on the reclaimed western shore of Kowloon Peninsula.


Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market was founded in 1913.


Freshly peeled tangerines. Known as Chenpi, sun dried tangerine peels are used as seasoning in Chinese cooking and traditional medicine.


The wholesale market stocks fruit from all over Asia, and are busiest in the pre-dawn hours from 4 to 6am.


Danny showed us some peculiar fruit we had never seen before. Often called wax apple but also Java apple, Semarang rose-apple and wax jambu, the fruit was quite crunchy and juicy and with a sugar content about half that of a normal apple.


A public housing estate. Approximately half of Hong Kong's residents live in public housing with an average apartment size of 40m2.
