One of my new year’s resolution is to post blog more often. Let’s see if I can keep it! yes, I can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am still talking about Hawaii.

Whenever I travel, I go to food market. I went to two markets in Hawaii ( big ) island but didn’t visit any in Oafu island. 

Hiro farmer’s market was great! It’s the biggest in the states. It is near from international airport so as soon as we arrived at airport, we drove to the market to hunt our lunch! 

It’s just a normal (?) look market

with beautiful flowers 

and organic vegetable and fruits. OMG, sooooo cheap! I wish I could buy organic fruits and veggies at the same price in Sydney….

yes, only $1.5 for Rambutan

very fresh ginger! still pink!!!!!

The reason why ginger pickles beside sushi is pink is that traditionally, use fresh new ginger that has still pink colour…unfortunately, artificial colour is used for pickles these days…

And some weird staff….

He is selling ” KAVA” . I had no clue about kava then I asked him ” Wow, it looks so healthy! Is it healthy? ” he said ” Yes!”

See this root! looks so healthy! but not so tasty look but I love trying new staff so bought one jar anyway.

Then I asked the man what kava is good for. 

Then he hesitantly said..” um..you know…it makes you feel good”

?????? 

I expected it is good for blood pressure or something. Then my boy friend who actually knew what it was told me that it gets similar affect to drag but it is natural and mild. 

Result? we bought one ready to drink jar for one person and we shared so not much affect. I saw a couple next me bought 1kg powder so that is the way to go if you want to get some ” effect” ……

I will write more about this market next time :)
