In The Busy Road of Lipa Market, WE GO: Strolling at The Big and Crowded Public Market in Lipa City with the Fam!

20250311_131049_0000.png

When I went into Lipa Market last year with my mama and little brother, I felt the sense of nostalgia in it. Even though it's been years since I've been there, there's still some spot and area that I'm familiar with. It's because I've been there with my late sister a lot of times too during our morning walk to buy stuff back in 2018. When I walk in there, I feel like I was back to when my sister was still with us. I am just glad that I have those memories with her. But there is still a time that I feel so sad and mad that she's gone. I just feel like it is so unfair, I can't completely erase this sad feeling of her going away, and for good at that. Aigooo.

Anyways, when I visit this place with Mama and my little brother, everyone is really busy, and it's too crowded. The market in Lipa is really big, and there are a lot of stalls too where you can buy everything, but then it is still so busy because of the crowd. My town's market is small, so it's kinda overwhelming. The times when we're walking, I had to hold on to Mom's shirt as I am so afraid that I might get lost in there. Lol.

And the reason why we're here was to explore Lipa, have fun, and enjoy the day. We visit different establishments before heading to the Lipa market. And that's how we enjoy the rest of the day. Getting busy and just enjoying our vacation, hehe.

Look at all the fruits available in here. It'll be fun to shop here if you have unlimited money. Haha. As for us, we're just planning to get a few pieces of this and that Lol.

We also visited the wet market, and I just noticed some spots with a really small pathway. Like, there's a lot of stalls for the fish and meat, and there's that small space for the pathway. Well, at least they have a lot of choices here with the number of sellers they have. And I also remember this spot here. I used to come here with my sister too.

Here's more on different spots (☞^o^) ☞, and it's more spacious here. If I visit here alone, I'll surely get lost with how big Lipa Market is. I need to visit it like 20 times for me to get used to it, haha. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

And here's their vegetable section. You know, I thought the prices of veggies and fruits in our town were already high, but then I discovered it's more pricey here than in our town. Same with the cooked vegetable dish. We saw a vendor selling cooked meals on our way, and when we checked the prices, a half order of a vegetable dish was 30 pesos. While back home, we're already complaining about the 20 pesos for a half order of vegetable dish, haha. We know that inflation is real, but it's really just a little complaint of my poor self. Lol

We go back home with a little stuffs, mostly foods on our Dali eco bag after our long walk in Lipa Market. Ehe

That was how I lost myself in a market when I was still in school. When I realized I'd lost my way, I started asking people for the main road. Lol.
The market was so big. I prefer going with someone and just like you, it will take more than going to the market more than once to finally familiarise myself with the paths in the market.

Haha, omg, it's good that you are not too shy to ask. I can never do that 😆😆😭.

So true, it's big including the veggies and fruit sections. It's still better to be with someone when going there, just ti be sure 😆

Hahaha. I believe in the adage that says he who asks for direction doesn't miss road 😀
Yes, it's more better to go with someone. It makes it more fun, too.

What a good sized market. Love the large quantities of stock. It great to have a lot of one thing to look at, that way you can get a quality product. I'll take one of those and some of these, haha. Timely as I'm getting ready to have some of your cuisine 😋

Right, right, hehe. Even if its big, that's actually an advantage as you have a lot of choices in here. Tho you really have to do lots of walking. Still, that could be fun bo haha. Do you also have public market in your area or just a supermarket?

You can save a money buying in the market compare buying in the supermarket. And you can buy fresh vegetables, fish, meat and fruits at the market.
