Market Day!

Because you can't take the market monster out of the Pinay, Popsie and I stepped out this morning to the nearest little market a couple of blocks from the condo.

It's the last day of Songkran so most establishments are closed but some stalls in the talaat were open.

If I were vegetarian, I'd love it here - the food choices are awesome and very affordable. Heck, I'm not vegetarian but I love it here!
 

Lovely vine-ripened tomatoes

 

Mushrooms for the fungophile

 

Mung bean sprouts, katuray flowers, and young corn

 

Sawtooth coriander, coriander/cilantro, parsley, and a bunch of other things I can't identify

 

Spices and dried herbs

 

khanom tweh (sp?) - made from rice flour, it is steamed in those tiny cups. It is a symphony of sweet and salty.

 

Unripe mangoes (40THB/kg), longan (80THB/kg), and giant makopa (wax or Java apple)

 

Mangosteen - 40THB/kg. I ate a whole kilo by myself this afternoon!

 

Rambutan (80THB/kg) so fresh I swear the green spikes were moving (hehehe)

 

Our veggie stash

 I also made a "healthy" omelette for breakfast.

 

Garlic, onion, organic eggs, diced tomato, thinly-sliced asparagus stems

 

Hello, breakfast

Don't be fooled, though... Popsie, Momsie, and I - we had some Bacon Spam with this omelette. =)
