I LOVE going to the pasar (market)!!! It's so fun seeing the hussle and bussle of people going about their daily lives. Taking in all the beautiful colors of fruits and vegetables. Listening to friends and neighbors visiting. Hearing sellers and buyers bargaining...enambelas, tidak empatbelas, tidak limabelas (sixteen, no fourteen, no fifteen). Pushing your way through to get to the fruits and vegetables of choice. Enjoying the early morning (aka 6:30am!!) when it's still cool outside and when everyone is out. I sneaked some pictures today, so you could enjoy a little taste of market day too :)

| Most of my purchases after I washed them...mangoes, limes, chiles, lemongrass, laos (kind of like ginger), lime leaves, young papaya, spinach, green beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and fish sauce. Can you tell I'm craving Thai food...for those of you who know about tom yum and som tam?! |
Kimberlee, you must be in paradise at the markets with all the fresh veggies and fruit. It looks so good!
ReplyDeletei know a way you don't have to cook som tam and tom yum... i'm pretty sure it tastes better and i'm pretty sure it would cost just the same to fly here ;-)
ReplyDeletePretty sure it DOESN'T cost the same to fly there! lol. But I am excited to have the real thing...with you!
