Climate and culture dictates what we eat here in Singapore (and probably elsewhere as well). It's difficult to keep things fresh because of the heat and the humidity (egg quality seems to be a particular challenge; for more on this, see
http://www.globaltrends.com/blog/entry/the-challenge-of-feeding-singapore) but we also have a range of amazing fruits and vegetables. But there is clearly also a cultural element to what is available - mainly Chinese and Indian, but also other South East Asian produce. Shopping for new year's I found some amazing veg in our local wet market.
These are some big radishes - see the (seemingly) tiny lime i put into the mix for comparison!
And there's not just a lot of fresh ginger in stock, there's also yellow ginger (no, they are not maggots)....
....and the young ginger (I'm expecting young yellow ginger any day now).
Finally, this cabbage is too beautiful to eat.
