Why not no “How to survive” series for a long time?
I have been thinking of continuing the series “How to survive in Hong Kong Wet Market” for a long time, but there were a lot of difficulties. It is hard to find photos in various kinds of seafood, meat and other foods. Copyright of photos is another issue to prevent it happen. Making video without good photos cannot be achieved!
Recently, I found a website of food database built by the Association For Hong Kong Catering Services Management Ltd. It categorized the food into different sorts – sea fish, meat, vegetable and etc. Then I started thinking of changing my target from making videos to writing posts.
I will start with “sea fish” in this post.
Sorry that there are no related photos in this post, but you can click the Chinese characters which are linked with the photos of the database.
