On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, my family and I went to Serian, Kuching to visit mom’s brother. We all went to the Serian market to purchase some food for dinner. The market was crowded by people, I never thought that on the fifth day of CNY people would start working, they suppose to rest at home enjoying the new year holiday.
Since I came to Kuching I had never step into the market before. That day make me think back the time when I always force by my mom to drive her to the market, and to help her carry the things that she bought (what to do, since I don’t have any sister).
There are many stalls at the market, selling vegetable, fruits, drinks, cakes, and some of the thing that I even don’t know the name. According to my uncle, most of them stay in a very remote mountain village. They have their own land, and plant their own crops, don’t judge them from the outside as some of them are very rich people. As usual, I took a lot of photos that day. Some of the aunties are very shy, when I wanted to take their photo, they hurry and cover their face off...so cute.
This is the wet market that sells fish
Loach, it taste nice if steam it with some ginger. Is good for patient that just had an operation.
Malay food stalls
A grocery stall
Malay cake
This stall sells fried chicken, sausage, chicken butt, and drinks (RM1.00 per cup)
This is a guy that sell medicine made from Sea Horse. He looks very spooky, he did help one of his customers cure her neck pain. First he hold some water in the mouth, then he spray the water on the lady’s back neck. All of a sudden, the water at the neck turns into red color, red like blood. Yiaks...I think this is some king of black magic, to cheat people money. Is disgusting...
there are cucumber, papaya, and eggplant
A few ladies in the market are peeling bamboo stick to make something out of it
There are bananas, yam, pumpkin, and ginger.
bananasssss
Can get this from most of the seafood restaurant. Insect-in-a-shell.
My grandma use to buy this as a dishwasher sponge
Durians, I ate a lot of durians during the New Year. Anyone don’t like durians here?
The first time I saw this fruit? No idea what is this thing, and it cost RM1.00 per Kilograms.
There are rambutans and mango
This is my favorite, Jambu.
Langsat
Bananasssss, vegetables, and rambutanssssss
No idea what is this as well, it cost RM1.00 per bag
This is the heart of a coconut tree trunk, it taste nice if cook with curry
Watermelonssssss
