These photos were taken at Tai O recently.The sticky substance in the rounded-shape baskets is another famous local produce of the village - shrimp paste. The paste was being dried under the sun before it was packed for sale. In Tai O, you can buy shrimp paste in the sauce form or in the brick form (see the shrimp blocks in the 2nd photo (taken by Gogo)).
Shrimp paste is a delicious ingredient commonly used for cooking fried vegetables or steamed pork. However, the manufacturing process of the shrimp paste could be a nuisance to many people as the unfinished paste emits repulsive smell.
