We asked a fish vendor and customers at the North Point wet market and the ParknShop supermarket at Healthy Garden Plaza, North Point, whether they would change their shopping habits in light of the cholera scare at ParknShop.
AT THE WET MARKET
Wong Kei Yuet-fun, fish stall owner (right):
'Business went up by almost 40 per cent on Tuesday, the day after they found the bacteria at ParknShop, but yesterday [Wednesday] because of the typhoon very few people came to buy fish. And this morning it was back to normal. On Tuesday there were a lot of customers I've never seen before buying fish from me. We basically have the same customers every day so I could easily tell who the new faces were.'
Hung Sin-wah, housewife:
'Before I rarely bought fish from supermarkets since I think the quality is not as good as those at the wet market. Given what has happened I'll probably never buy fish from a supermarket again.'
