Passage — "The Morning Market"

Her first stop was the fish stall, where Uncle Tan has (3) been selling seafood for over thirty years. He would greet her cheerful (4) and hold up his finest catch of the day. Grandmother would examine each fish closly (5), pressing its flesh and checking that the eyes were clear and bright.
After the fish stall, we would walk passed (6) the vegetable section. The neat rows of kangkong, chye sim and kai lan were a familiar sight. Grandmother was very paticular (7) about choosing her vegetables — she only bought those that was (8) crisp and green, with no wilted leaves.
Our last stop was the kueh stall. The old lady there rekognised (9) us immediately and would pack two extra pieces of ondeh ondeh into our bag. I looked forward to this treat every week — those little green balls is (10) still the best I have ever tasted.
