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.

Hello !
Ce sont vraiment des plantes médicinales ?
Brrrr....
Hi Web, I am sorry I cant reply your question cause I dont understand your language.
I have said :
"Hello !
Are there really medicinal plants ?
Brrrr ....
Some are animals and some are mushrooms and most are herbs. But they are all dried. They are used for medicinal purposes and some herbs are used for boiling soups.
Oh yes some of the herbs are plants which are used for medicines.
Looks like the lizards could be treat for kids, like a lolly pop.
Jim, hahaha.
But I heard that crocodile meat are used as traditional remedy for asthma. So maybe these lizard worked the same.
arent some of these species endangered?
I doubt they are endangered species. Our AVA are very strict on imported food. I guess they passed the terms and conditions.
Alice!!! Arrghh.. lizards!
btw, have you tried it? hehe..
Hahaha.... I am interested in taking photo of the lizards not consuming them....lol
Fascinating series of photographs, Alice. Chinese medicine is a very interesting subject.
very interesting!! it's amazing how different culture have different dishes. i am particularly amazed by the dried lizards!
Alice, this gonna be the thing I dont want to see the most today.. I'm having a fever and probably I need to take some, When I was a kid, I had some scorpion TCM...and they taste really bad....
Zoe, sorry that you are sick. Please take care and have a speedy recovery.
nothing like herbal medicine. it's cheap and safe. we often used that too instead of pills and capsules.
