Market Street: Take the lane

Cyclist takes the lane on Market Street near Powell in San Francisco, California. He’s fixed. Note the spoke card. That’s a sharrow symbol at the left. I should have been panning so the cyclist would have been sharp.

—
We hadn’t been to the South Melbourne Market for a while and decided with was time to rediscover it.

Of course, we had to choose a decent place for breakfast before we hit the market. As it turns out, Chimmy’s had the best baguettes we’ve had for a while!

The scrambled egg and bacon baguette was reheated in a grill, which probably gave them a chance to add another dollop of butter onto the already creamy, fluffy eggs. Not that I’m complaining! The baguette crust wsa crunchy and the insides soft and slightly chewy, much better than some spongey baguettes.

The Bakewell Tart was another hit with us. The rich buttery crust was filled with a sponge cake that was a bit like a frangipane filling with a gritty almond meal texture to it. It was good!

Because we were at the South Melbourne Market, we had to try the "original" South Melbourne Market dimsims, made famous by the Cheng’s stall. It was better than the over-seasoned imposter from the Arts Centre forecourt coffee cart, but still, nothing to write home about.

Cola Market 可樂市場


Bild von skinnylawyer
Garak Market is in the southeastern corner of Seoul, just outside Jamsil, serving as the main agricultural wholesale market for the Seoul area.

There is a reason I used "Cola Market" as the photo title, however. The name "Garak" (可樂) is a centuries-old, longstanding name of the neighborhood. However, the Chinese-speaking world uses the exact same characters, which can also mean "add happiness," to phonetically write the word "cola." A Chinese speaker would indeed read the sign as "Cola Market" and would most likely come to buy a box of Coke (可口可樂) or Pepsi (百事可樂). For the record, soft drinks are not sold at Garak Market, despite the Chinese name.

I had to note this linguistic quirk as I had just returned from a Hong Kong weekend, and was indeed drinking Coke a few times – or as my receipts would state, 可口可樂.

This is a bus stop shelter. Nearby is Munjeong Rodeo Drive; Munjeong is the neighborhood’s name while "Rodeo Drive" is, in South Korea, a generic label for a shopping street lined with upscale fashion goods, named after the Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California, USA. The shelter is located on a busy thoroughfare (Songpa Daero, connecting Jamsil to the satellite city of Seongnam and part of National Highway 3) and served by over a dozen bus lines from both Seoul and Seongnam. The buses run on a dedicated right-of-way in the median, where this shelter is as well.
