Chinese Medicines

It is always interesting to look at the assorted chinese medicine sold by the Chinese Medical Hall in Chinatown. I have never taken these lizard looking animals that are being dried and I think they are the flying lizards. I have no idea how they are being consumed or cooked.

And dried seahorses, no idea what are they used to cure what types of ailments.

I only knew these dried scallops and lingzhi....lol. These lingzhi are one of the most expensive mushrooms sold. They are real huge. For more information on Lingzhi, you can read them here.

And I have no idea what types of skins these are. I think they belong to some kind of reptiles.

Chinese Medical Hall

A typical chinese medical hall in Chinatown. As a frequent customer, the staff allowed me to take photo of the shop and their products. Yayyyyy.......

Some of the chinese medicines and these dried herbs are proven to be beneficial for health. I used to patronise my favourite medical hall in chinatown to buy herbs for boiling my cantonese soup.

They even have dried starfish...........yikes.......I only take dried cuttlefish not starfish....lol
