Heeheee... maybe you should have a gas wok burner in the boot of your car,
drive around & see which veg. stall, butcher or fishmonger is doing well,
then just set up your wok next to them & do simple fry ups with oil, garlic
& salt, nothing complicated just simple cooked dishes. i think that's how
some of these street side hawkers actually started in Asia. The ones i've
seen come & go on motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles. But one i saw really did
make my eyes pop. This guy arrived in his white mercedes & as he unloaded
bags of fresh noodles from the boot, i noticed he had on a chunky gold rolex
watch, business must be good! I've even seem these 'street hawkers' in
Istanbul, but their circumstances were a little different. Along the
Bosphorus straits, the bit of water that seperates Istanbul from the East &
West, literally on one side is the start of the Middle East & on the
other... Europe. Anyway... these guys had their boat by the the bridge or
bank & fish for mackeral. On one side of the boat, a few guys were line
fishing for mackerals straight out of the water & it looked like they
weren't short of fish, they were pulling them up 1 or 2 a minute. On the
other side of the boat, they were gutting & frying them & served in a bread
sandwich. It can't get any fresher than that. : ) At the end of the day or
maybe when the cops turn up, they just start the engine & chug, chug... off
down the water to wherever they came from. How cool is that! heeheee.
