Sunday Night Market and Playing at the Park

Heather and Kyle took us to "Chutney Marys" for Indian food last night. Since we have never eaten many Indian dishes we let them order a selection of food they like. We started out with spicy, pepper chips that you dip in mango or mint sauce. I liked the mint best. Then they brought us chicken grilled on a stick and basted with a sauce similar to the mint sauce - it was good. Samantha loves it and ate a huge portion! Next came: "nan" or bread - similar to a tortilla - good! okra in curry sauce; breaded broccoli; battered and fried cauliflower; two kinds of "Dal" - lentil dips; and prawns in a sauce. Overall a great experience but Indian food isn't our favorite!
For dessert we went to Samantha's "very, favorite place - Mango Mania." All they serve is mango ice cream - it's creamy like a frozen yogurt and delicious.
Kyle took the girls home while Heather, Roger and I went the to Sunday Night Market. It is in a different location each Sunday and it happened to be in the area of the restaurant. It consists of "junk" - fruits and vegetables - fresh fish of all kinds - and prepared food booths. It is so interesting to see all the different selections. In the pictures below you can see a popular food booth that has all the meats, seafood and vegetables on the top shelves and the frying pots on the lower shelf. You pick out what you want and cook it yourself. The "jackfruit" is very popular - you can see the big, bumpy fruit - the stall owners peel it, cut it up and sell it in small containers. It smells horrible - worse than the fish! Couldn't force myself to try it. They also sell meat sandwiches similar to what Roger has seen in the Middle East.
We stopped at the shopping center to get Roger some new sunglasses - he uses the kind that clip on his regular glasses - and he lost them! They had some but the were too big for his lens. The sales guy says "no problem, I cut for you." So he cut them to fit (with scissors!) and then filed them smooth.  So glad he had a solution because Roger really needs them!
We took the girls to a playground this morning. They are so excited about Disneyland that we had to take them out to run off some excess energy! The reflexology path is designed to walk on barefoot - to massage your feet! We leave early, early tomorrow morning!!
