Super 88 is a supermarket geared toward the Asian Persuasian with a food court attached. After circling the stands to see what there was to eat, I was overwhelmed since I couldn't read about the lunch items available and was forced to select my meal based on photos, which can be disceiving. I think I had chicken with broccoli and water chestnuts. It could have been duck, but I told myself chicken.
I purchased a bottled water and while eating panicked. This seemed like the type of establishement that glued the caps back to already-used water bottles. To quench my thirst I attempted a sip from a Lollicup. If you haven't had one yet, you are not missing out. These cups are filled with either tea or slush, topped (or bottomed) off with tapioca or boba pearls. I don't like to chew my beverages but out of desperation I gave it a go. A pearl found its way into one of the two straws provided. Scared that it would fall back in (because I think that would be back wash, no?) I sucked a bit harder. 5 more of these muscus sacks slapped the back of my throat and I thought I was going to spit on the floor. Instead I took it like a champ and chewed the six balls of udder disgust while my so-called friends laughed.
Next came the grocery store. If you are looking to purchase items that still have thier faces attached, well this is the locale for you. Live eels...you got it. Putrid stench, check. Fish skin, sure thing. Hard boiled and salted duck eggs, vacuumed sealed for your convenient snacking pleasures, no doubt about it. Call me an ignorant American and pass me a Big Mac wrap and fries please.
