morning with Mom in Sunday Market

I never quite enjoy going to markets. Hated it as a child. Preferred sleeping in late and wake up later for mom's delicious brunch. Why I haven't grown the size like my dad is anyone's guess.

This trip back (after shipping AJ to his parents), I jumped out of bed at 7am and ran downstairs before mom went out marketing. Besides spending time with her, I took the opportunity to look at sights that I'd never taken interest to before. The aim that day: To buy crabs!! and get hold of any goodies I could 'smuggle' back into UK.

The colours of the market are just lovely......

This amout of yam would cost a bomb in UK.....

I have no idea what these are...buah jering??

Delicious jambus......yummm...with sour plum dips.

Dried sotong....

Sago worms....delicious to be eaten raw or fried. I used to crave for these wriggly wormies..but didn't have the stomach for them this time.

Crabs!..They were not in season thus we couldn't get big ones. I absolutely love crabs..especially my mom's curry crabs. I think she's the only person in the world who can make that. I doubt I could ever recreate this dish...coz I'll never overcome the first hurdle..KILLING THEM.

Yummylicious Malay kuihs...

Sugar cane drinks. Apparently this is quite unhygienic, so we've been banned from drinking this ever!

Well...colours and sights and tastes I won't get to see for yet another year.
