"A Taste of Gisborne"

What is the real life

of Gisborne?

The most real life

is always the seemingly unperturbed atmosphere of the marketplace

The most attractive smell

Probably the wisp of hot air from the end of the street

Every day, we pass by the corners of the marketplace, there is no lack of a few mouth-watering snacks, they are either ordinary or exquisite, with the people who have never forgotten their own specialties, and the people who have never been to the marketplace.

The pancake needs a pair of eyes, but also a pair of fast hands. It takes a pair of quick hands to get the heat right, so that the pancakes are crispy, not mushy, and have a great flavor.

Practice makes perfect, and years of cooperation have given them a tacit understanding that in less than five minutes, a furnace of about 50 pancakes came out of the oven. In this store, nearly a thousand burritos can be sold in a day, and the demand still exceeds the supply.

In an era of soaring prices, the baklava here still retains its affordable price.

Only two dollars, a freshly baked scallion pancake will be able to convince the taste buds of diners, and then a cup of warm soybean milk, calling people from the esophagus warm to the heart. A cozy meal of snacks, carefully calculated, but only three or five dollars.
