Hello Sweet Life. Shopping With Me For Vegan Sweetener Contest



Sweet but sometimes dark.
Like dark chocolate but can be a favorite.

Take a walk around the market to take advantage of the remaining time for another moment. Looking at the sky that might be a different color every minute. Seeing people with certain friends to go to the market, or even someone who confidently goes to a mall but feels happy.

Hypermart at my living city.


Buying sweeteners during this shopping activity made me reflect on many things about life. As usual, walking around even while shopping makes my brain think about things I can share, especially on this blog.

Well, I'm more often seen sharing about food. But for a long time, I'm a writer, and I'm still preparing my new book about life in the future (I'm still thinking about a lot of things, especially about my book circulation strategy so that my published book won't go to waste).


Back to the topic of shopping this time, sweeteners, especially sugar in general, make many things sweet and happy. Sweeteners that drive away the sour taste, make us not afraid to try something sour taste because there will be sugar that changes the taste. But, too much sugar in life will also bring many problems to the body, especially the trigger for diabetes and obesity. So, we must be wise in consuming sugar in our lives.


Hypermart Binjai City.

I only buy the necessary sweetener products. No supply of vegetables and fruits. So, I only shop for these sweeteners in the city where I live. Precisely located in downtown Binjai City.

This afternoon looks crowded because it is already approaching the feast day for the Islamic religion. Inside Hypermart Binjai City has also been decorated for Islamic religious holidays. The pillar-shaped decoration of the mosque is also ketupat (a typical food during Eid Al-Fitr).

Inside the Hypermart Binjai City, our special holiday food and drink stocks are also expanded. Such as cookies and syrup, as well as sweet and refreshing canned drinks. There are also dates for the iftar menu.

I visited the white sugar display. This is most important because cane sugar made from sugarcane is the most popular we use for cooking and beverage mixtures. I also bought a kilo of white sugar for $1.

Continuing to other areas, I am looking for other types of sweeteners for making desserts. At Hypermart Binjai City it is also quite complete. We can see different types of sugar. Starting from white sugar, brown sugar, Javanese sugar/gula jawa, rock sugar, also palm sugar with a sandy texture.

Besides buying white sugar, I also bought liquid brown sugar, and brown sugar that has a texture like sand. We call this ant sugar because it has tiny particles like ant nests.

I also bought dates. Well, I also tend to use dates as a sweetener for smoothies or plant-based iced milk.

Shopping for sweeteners this time was quite fun because I did it all at once to wait for iftar time. When leaving Hypermart Binjai City, the sky was almost dark. The sun is about to set. I photographed the area around. The parking area was filled with cars. The sky also looks busy painting the beauty before dark meets the night.

Whatever our activities today, I hope it makes us happy even in a simple way. It's as simple as we can smile looking at the sky at sunset. If you can't smile in amazement when you see a sunset, maybe you should learn to appreciate the small things in your life to be able to achieve the bigger ones. See you at my activities in the kitchen. :)

I went crazy with dates; in my country they are very expensive and not available; at least not in the town where I live, which is near the coast of the Caribbean Sea, very close to the Colombian Guajira; but I loved that picture with the dates.
We have so many different cultures in #hive and that gives us so many possibilities to meet so many different people and habits.
In America sugar consumption is high, even though we have beautiful and delicious fruits.
Are there guavas in the market? Just wondering. Here it is a very beloved fruit.
I am a doctor, and I have three columns here on the platform, and all of them, dedicated to wellness, so I also publish about food and healthy habits.
Receive my blessings @anggreklestari and fraternal greetings from Venezuela.

Hello, @emiliorios. Nice to meet you on Hive. Glad we can share culture here so we can know how the food in that country.
In my city, guava is really cheap and I even can take guava from wild area for free.

Some fruits is expensive here such as strawberry, blueberry, Apple, lemon, kiwi, grape.

Dear friend @anggreklestari that Hypermart Binjai City is very nice and has everything, here in Venezuela for example, the types of sugar that supermarkets offer are few flavors. As for other products, the variety is scarce, and the prices do not correspond to our salaries, even having different flavors and tastes, they are incomprehensible, that's why I adore Hive, it has been a financial help with my 70 years of age, for at least to buy some food. I wish you a lot of success. I take this opportunity to show you a publication that I made as a family visiting a museum in my city Cumaná, Sucre state-Venezuela. successes

Hi, I like to go shopping, especially to the supermarkets, the sugar I buy is white sugar, but mostly my husband and my son use it, I use panela sugar but my husband brings me the syrup from a small town, his cousin who has a sugar factory gives it to him. The date here is very expensive, although sometimes a sister-in-law brings it to me from the city where she lives. Greetings

Hi, @anggreklestari! Hypermart Binjai City looks like a good place to visit. I'm thrilled to know you're writing a book; I hope it's a success 😁 Loved seeing the dates among your sweeteners; I love dates, but here they are expensive. I use banana and mango for smoothies instead. You're right that we must enjoy the sweet side of life, always with caution. Cheers! 🖤

Great shopping. You bought a lot of sugar and candy. Yes, I see dates as a candy, and the prices seemed more reasonable to me than in Turkey. Although that doesn't surprise me, but anyway XD

Brown sugar in your place is cheaper than our sugar here. I didn't know about liquid brown sugar, I don't know if we have it here.

Dates is limited here, I seldom see them. I can only taste them if someone came home from outside the country and they brought it as a souvenir.

We have many local brown sugar producers here. So the price is cheaper.

Liquid brown sugar is basically brown sugar in general. But has been processed into the liquid texture. So we don't need to melt brown sugar first if we want to use brown sugar for dessert.

Did you know, coffee with brown sugar is delicious and fragrant? 😊

Hello dear friend @anggreklestari good afternoon
A purchase at the supermarket can be a great moment to think and reflect on many issues. or put some aspects of our lives in order
It's good to know that you are planning to launch your own book, and how to do the distribution, without a doubt it will be a real success.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon

Wishing you so much luck on your book writing @anggreklestari. Just keep the energy you will surely have success at last. Shopping can help us ease off stress most times because of the beautiful things we come across but we must do it not in a hurry. Best wishes
