The successful market visit!

Its Saturday. And we were up very early. After having a simple early breakfast, performed the morning prayer, we decided to visit the market. We headed to the normal place where the market was supposed to be. Expecting to buy some ribs and meat and fish. But we were taken by surprise that the market is abandoned! There were not butchers, no marketeers but for one or two!

Abandoned stalls!
Business doesn't look good at all!
Fresh or frozen?
 And we now knew where to go for fresh beef. And my husband and I pleasantly discovered that next to this smaller market (only 3 doors shop) there is a nursery!

Loads of fresh beef
 And we ended up with one rib, 1 kg of Batang Pinang and 1kg of fish! And we couldnt help but to hate those who insisted to build the Big Market in such a secluded area. And the market is at worst, unkept. Broken floor tiles not mended, Torn fibre glass sheet under the roof not attended to. Obviously the person who insisted that the market be built there is NOT from here to understand what the local people want! And it will soon be completely abandoned and the whole thing will become such an eye sore and pocket hurting! :-(
