First thing we did when we reach Florence is to get an ice cream.
We stop by La Carraia which is located next to the florence bridge.
See the line ..so long leh
each of us got an ice cream - $3.50 .... pretty huge
So beautiful postcard view
After ice cream we walk over to Mercato Centrale which took around 30 mins stroll .
Outside Mercato ... there are small stalls selling leather bags ..
We did not look at anything as worried that might be fake
the ground floor market was close so we head upstairs to the food court
they sell lots of foods and this is one of them
fresh seafoods which you can select and get the chef to cook for you
beautiful desserts are also sold here
The next day , we went out early to visit their ground floor market which is mostly selling raw materials such as spices , meat , olive oils , fresh pasta
Brought back lots of spices ...
fresh habanero ....
locally made anchovies
brought balsamic vinegar from here too
homemade bread for sale too and they are huge ...and they sell as per piece and not cut in half .
People here eat lots of bread.
mom was hungry and ended up went to the foodcourt upstairs to makan.
She got sick of ah moh food so she ordered from this chinese stall - some vege rolls .
ordered this ...
