I love grocery shopping

Grocery shopping is one of my favorite things. I know some people think of it as a chore, but I enjoy it so much and take my time doing it! I love scouring the aisles, browsing in produce markets, or simply looking for something tempting or interesting. And I particularly like price comparing in one market to another since I often buy quite the same thing regularly. I know which place to go for better prices, or one that have a particularly best fresh produce. For me, produce is incredibly beautiful to look at and to touch. My favorite are local fruits and veggies. I think am truly blessed living in a tropical country with lots of exotic fruits, spices and veggies to choose. I've been thinking about how much I am addicted to all of this and how would I live without them?

The following pictures were taken by my phone camera on a trip to the super market last weekend. There's a sign on the entrance that taking pictures is not allowed but I pretend sending text messages when I snap the pics. As a chilli monster, I'd like to show you some of Indonesian hot chillis variety and some exotic fruits that you may not familiar with. Enjoy!
