Speaker 1 (1)
Hi, Shannon. How are you settling into your new flat?
Speaker 2 (2)
Really well. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (3)
You look like you're going shopping.
Speaker 2 (4)
Yes. I am. My cousins are coming to stay for a couple of days, and I have to cook for them.
Speaker 1 (5)
Well, there are plenty of places to buy food in Kite Place.
Speaker 1 (6)
It's the area by the harbor.
Speaker 2 (7)
Oh, okay. I'll find that on the map. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (8)
What sort of food do you need to get?
Speaker 2 (9)
Well, neither of them eats meat, but they both like fish.
Speaker 1 (10)
Well, there's a really good fish market there.
Speaker 2 (11)
Oh, great. Where is it exactly?
Speaker 1 (12)
It's at the far end of Kite Place, so you have to go over the bridge, and then it's on the right.
Speaker 2 (13)
Okay. Is it open all day?
Speaker 1 (14)
It doesn't close until 4, but I'd recommend going earlier than that. It does run out of some things.
Speaker 2 (15)
Oh, I don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1 (16)
As long as you get there by 3:30, you should be fine.
Speaker 1 (17)
It's only 11 now, so plenty of time.
Speaker 2 (18)
Right.
Speaker 1 (19)
Do you need to buy vegetables too?
Speaker 2 (20)
I do, and I want to avoid all the plastic packaging in the supermarket.
Speaker 1 (21)
Well, there's a really nice organic shop there.
Speaker 1 (22)
Now what's it called? It's the name of a flower. I know. It's Rose.
Speaker 2 (23)
Oh, that's a nice name.
Speaker 1 (24)
Yeah. It sells vegetables and quite a lot of other stuff.
Speaker 2 (25)
And where's that?
Speaker 1 (26)
Well, as you reach the market, you'll see a big gray building on your left.
Speaker 1 (27)
I think it used to be a warehouse.
Speaker 1 (28)
Anyway, now it's a restaurant upstairs, but the ground floor has 2 shops either side of the entrance, and it's the one on the left.
Speaker 2 (29)
That's easy enough.
Speaker 1 (30)
You can't miss it. There's also a big sign on the pavement, so you can look for that.
Speaker 2 (31)
Fine. I guess if I need anything else, I'll have to go to the supermarket.
Speaker 1 (32)
Yeah. You should be able to get everything you need, but there's a minibus that goes to the supermarket if you need it.
Speaker 1 (33)
It's purple, and the number is 289.
Speaker 2 (34)
Thanks. That's great.
Speaker 1 (35)
So what do you need to get at the fish market?
Speaker 1 (36)
The salmon is always very good, and the shellfish.
Speaker 2 (37)
I'm going to make a curry, I think, and I need about 12 prawns for that.
Speaker 1 (38)
They'll have plenty of those.
Speaker 2 (39)
Okay.
Speaker 1 (40)
Have you ever tried samphire?
Speaker 2 (41)
No. What's that?
Speaker 1 (42)
It's a type of seaweed.
Speaker 2 (43)
Oh.
Speaker 1 (44)
I just ask for a handful, and you fry it in butter. It's delicious.
Speaker 2 (45)
Oh, I might try that. How do you spell it?
Speaker 1 (46)
It's S-A-M-P-H-l-R-E.
Speaker 2 (47)
Great. It's always good to try something different.
Speaker 1 (48)
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49)
I'll see what beans they have in the organic shop, and I think I'll get something for dessert there.
Speaker 1 (50)
How about a mango?
Speaker 2 (51)
I'm not sure. They're not always ripe.
Speaker 2 (52)
I'd prefer a melon. It's bigger too.
Speaker 1 (53)
Good idea. The owner also sells a lot of spices there that you can put in a curry and things like coconut.
Speaker 2 (54)
Oh, that's very helpful. I'll have a look.
Speaker 1 (55)
No problem.
Speaker 2 (56)
I know bread doesn't really go with curry, but I always like to have some in case.
Speaker 1 (57)
As I said, all the bread is homemade, and there's lots of variety.
Speaker 1 (58)
I like the brown bread myself.
Speaker 2 (59)
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (60)
They sell other things there too.
Speaker 2 (61)
Like cakes? I love chocolate cake.
Speaker 1 (62)
Well, not that, but they have a whole range of tarts, and the best are the strawberry ones.
Speaker 2 (63)
Perfect. Hopefully, I won't even have to go to the supermarket.
