Evening walk in Chinatown. (15 January 2006)
Various types of chinese sausage, salted duck. Seriously, I don't know how to eat the salted duck, except perhaps in soup? Perhaps someone can enlighten me. I only know that Chinese sausage is great in claypot rice. Yum!
Okay, I lie, this pic was not taken in Chinatown but it is along the same theme, so hey. This is the uncle in Wisma Atria selling "ding ding tang" -- a hard candy that you need a chisel to chip off. "Ding ding" is the sound the chisel makes.

hi there....
some observations:
1. from a distance, the lap-cheong (chinese sausages) look like bunches of bananas that have shrivelled and gone bad ...
2. technically, the duck is known as lap-ngap or waxed duck (a misnomer, apparently)... i know, it sounds really bizarre... as if the duck had gone to a spa or beauty salon and had its feathers ripped off with gooey strips... but, there you go... check out the link below for preparing waxed meats...

Waxed duck.. hee hee. What an interesting article!
I hate all duck, esp. waxed ones. They all taste gross. A non-gross email awaits u.
