The one thing that I enjoy about going to the local wet market here is the feeling of not knowing what I will find. And every week, I'm bound to find something new & amazing. Last week, it was sugarcane then flowers and then lots of seafood.. I meant really lots of seafood. If I knew how to cook seafood, I'll be sure to buy and indulge myself!
Now, this particular roadside seller caught my eye - actually it was the living white duck that caught my eye ! And next to it was a cage filed with life chickens. If you look closely, yo will see that there is a nicely cleaned bird on the serving dish. Not sure if it was a chicken or a duck but I'll be damn to know that it was probably alive just minutes ago. Oh yes, at the left hand corner are all the bird feathers.
I do pity this duck, hopefully it's a display pet and not to be sold to any passerby. Nevertheless, I think it's rather inhuman to kill it right in front of your eyes. I've been told that if fresh meat is cooked immediately it's very tasty. I've only tried fresh fish but duck meat 😬
So next time, you decide to eat duck meat, think of this little fellow.. maybe you'll turn into a vegan immediately. Worth a try isn't it ?
