No, no, no… the guy who holding the mic is not a local hip-hop wannabe singer (although he might looks like one.)
He simply just one of the seller who set up a sweets shop in Chinatown area and trying to earn a living.
The reason this guy using a mic is to beat the noise from the crowd and other competitors who use the same tactic to sell their goodies.
It is a tough world out there, you can see the guy perspiring like a cow ( yes, cow does perspiring) yelling non-stop for the promotion.
Well, not too bad, bunch of people buying their sweets in boxes! It’s a good day for him.
But not for this Chinese sausage seller…
Beside selling dried chinese sausage, name “Lap Cheong” or “Lap Chong” (written as “臘腸” in Chinese)
They also selling dried ducks in the very funny shape and unique smells.
Funny thing is, do you noticed that ot a single person come near to the stall? :D
Question: Have you tried any of these stuff before?

Servus and have a nice day

very interesting.. reminds me of the public markets in the Philippines where the sellers yell at the top of their lungs to sell their goods. it’s almost Chinese New Year… Gong Xi Fa Coi!
新年快乐.万事如意.恭喜发财.心想事成.
发啦!!!!!!
What a nice celebration it’s going to be! the colors are amazing..
Not my kind of place. I would visit once for the experience, but too much noise!
Just like the markets in Hong Kong while I was there. They are so much fun and yes I would think the sweet sellers would do much better than the sausage sellers :) Gong Xi Fa Cai!
That all looks really interesting. I don’t think I would like it. I like to be able to look at everything in my own time. Wouldn’t want someone yelling all the time. Too bad the sausages don’t sell as well as the sweets. These sure are some great posts about the Chinese New Year. I am learning a lot.
@Jouir: Have a nice day to you too :)
@Icy BC: The red color always follow CNY, yes it’s indeed amazing
@Joanne: It’s the competition, do everything to make your goods sell better :)
@Marg: Yeah, I know what you mean, but the longer I stay at the market, soon or later I think I’ll get use to it :)
@Everyone: Gong Xi Fa Coi! May the year brings you a lot of prosperous and fortune!
i like the 3rd photo with rows of lap cheong hanging!! really shouting out red aloud!
