Gloria,

I just walked around, many "shops" were closed, those that were still open were lined in approx T-shaped.

I didn't go for oranges - the oranges now taste funny, not like before.

You will find a lot of "shops" with Filipino Mangoes, brand = Golden Lily, (in Chinese, = Goldlion ie the ties brand). Vvv yummy and smells good and tastes good. (We bought the baby (pig-waist) mangoes.)
I didn't know any shop there. Just went into whichever one I passed by.

A lot of Thai pomelos if you like these. V big ones from Thailand.

If you decide to buy these, and want to share, I can take 1 - 2. There are 10 in each box, boxes were quite big so we decided not to buy this time.

May go again after CNY, on a Sun morning, after we've finished eating everything.

I already gave some mangoes and papaya to piano teacher, and some to a C9 who is supplying us with homemade CNY glutinous cake and turnip cake. The glut cake was cooked and delivered today, and I asked yanyan to cut 2 huge pcs for me, but could only finish 1.5 pc. The texture was just right, but tooooo sweet.

And piglet and I together finished off half a cake of Jade Garden turnip cake already, mostly piglet's efforts. Quite good, not much MSG. May need to buy 1 more to pass CNY. Piglet likes turnip cake.

And piglet's pr school has Chin Day on Tues, kids can dress up (piglet didn't want to this yr, and last yr's dai-siu Chin tong-jong no longer fits), parents are asked to "donate" CNY cakes. Then I think some volunteer parents will have the task of frying pieces of the cake(s) for the kids. Imagine having to feed over 1000 kids !

So you are doing last-min CNY shopping the whole of next week. Let me know if you find any good buys.
