Tai O

Our family decided to check out Tai O.  It is a nice day trip.  You feel like you're out of the city, but travel time is reasonable.  We took MTR to Tung Chung.  Then a bus to Tai O.

Entrance to the market

 Charcol grilled dried fish

Made with glutinous rice, in either peanut, red bean, black sesame flavor.

This is her simple store front.  There was a sign that said "no branches"

 Dried fish, scallops, and Tai O's specialty--shrimp paste (in jars)

 

Herbs that is boiled with water into a drink that quenches thirst.  I LOVE this drink.

Drying salted fish

Boat tour of structures on stilts.  Some have be transformed into restaurants but there are still people living in these structures.  I guess that's one interpretation of "harborfront real estate with view."

It was just a really great day with mom and dad and Hazel.  We weren't on a schedule and just did basically whatever we felt like.  Want to buy sesame candy?  Sure.  Let's take the boat tour now?  Sure.  We saw the elusive white dolphins!
