As I mentioned in Market Friday: Part I - Livestock Market without any Livestock (Shopping Edition) where I got to write about "the shopping section" from this live stock market, I had to write it in PART TWO to tell you more about the important section. The section that this world can't live without, that is the "FOOD" section.
I still insisted, which I quoted myself from my Market Friday: My Flashy Foodie Market after Work
I am from Thailand, aka the promised land of street foods.
As a proud Thai local market supporter as I am, I see it as my duty to show you guys more about it. Also, I'll be super happy to answer any question you have about our culture, so please feel free to join me in the comment section below.
Here we go to the food section. It's not big but I get to take most of the stalls picture to show you guys. This one is doing made-to-order side dishes. It will be served with rice and if you want topped with sunny-side up eggs.
These are, what we called, "made-to-order" spicy salads. Here it is with a little extra ingredients called "crisp fried catfish". I personally like it, but again didn't get to eat it often, since it was a little hard to find.
This is more like a snack. They are deep fried fish balls. It wouldn't make sense to eat it alone though. You have to eat it with sweet plum sauce. The sauce bowl is right next to it. Can you see it?
This stall is selling "Suki (yaki) rolls". This menu is very healthy. It consisted of many vegetable rolled and steamed, as you can see here in the pictures. The small cups on the right is "Suki sauce" and it's perfect to eat with Suki rolls.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are also offered here. My favorite is the petite japanese pumpkin there. It's a little rare to find it in a market. Luckily this one has it.
Here are the fresh salads and more vegetables. You see the QR code on the left? It's a cashless scan to pay. Technology, huh?
This one might seem very unusual to you guys, but to us, it's not strange to see this thing in a market like this. This is grilled sticky rice in banana leaves and they are stuffed with a variety of ingredients, such as something sweet like custard and/or banana or something like a different kinds of meat like pork, etc.
"Fried Mussel" is another Thai's favorite street food. It's quick and easy to make. It also gave a great visual to the bypass walkers. I love eating this too, unfortunately it's not very healthy.
Of course, next to the fried mussels is our original Pad Thai. They're mostly next to each other like this, since most of the time, they'll use the same pan or ones that can replace the others.
This is rice with fried pork and beef. Different parts of pork too, for example if you like to eat lots of fat you'll love pork belly. Needless to say I love it, especially with sticky rice.
If you prefer something more healthy, this would be your go-to stall. This one they offered "clean foods" in a box, so you don't have to make it yourself. I like the clean food idea, not a big fan of one-time plastic user much.
Here's my ALL-TIME ALL-TIME ALL-TIME favorite! The grilled chicken. This probably be the reason I knew if I have to move out of Thailand, I'll be super homesick because this kind of chicken. I can only find in a market, here in Thailand. It's all about how juicy it was marinated and grilled. Ahh it made me so hungry just thinking about it. I'll probably just go get one after writing this. lol 😂
One thing I like about going through this kind of market is that I get to see fresh cooking meal. This one is braised pork which will be served with rice. Best eat while it's hot!
I wish I could tell you how good it smelled there. The pork, the soup the herbs and the spices are great combination.. Mmmm
Here's also fried pork we called "Moo daed deaw". This is my go-to street food too. I've always get these when I have such little time. It's easy to eat and best with sticky rice.
If you want international snacks, you can get from a stall like this one. They are from various places like China, Japan, South Korea and more. Good thing it's cheap too.
Now we're at the dried seafood section: dried fish and squids. Yep! We eat them as snacks in our free time. Might have to be careful though, your breath will get fishy there. No pun intended.
These stalls are for sweets. Well, anybody's up for cream buns or muffins? Here you can get them under a USD even.
The last stall that I want to show you is my favorite "Avocado" stall. Well, they usually offer more fruits but my main focus is my one and only Avocado. Generally speaking though, it is really hard to find good avocado to buy. The one that you enjoy eating it in a good time.
If you ask me to name one thing that's the most unpredictable in the world, my answer will be "Avocado". You'll never know exactly when it ripe perfectly and how long it's gonna stay like that. Still, even though Avocado broke my heart again and again, I come buy it every time when I see them in a market like this.
Last few photos are how the tent looks from outside. And here is where I finish writing about the market. Thank you guys for joining me and see you around!
Stay local and keep supporting small businesses, guys!
