Me and Mommy D's Tandem: Quick Shopping in Our Local Market to Buy Fish and Different Kinds of Vegetables

Mommy F's really cravings a lot of food today, like at first she wants that pig feet or trotter and she wants to grill it and make a soup using it with different kind of veggies. But then we said "no" because it's not good for her. Then she also wants cow skin, but I said it'll be too hard to cook it and I think that's not good for her either. And she also wants Ginataang Mixed vegetables, I thought that'll be the final one. But we ended up with different dish. Lol. I am not complaining though, I love today's dish and it is still filled with a lot of vegetables.

I won't share any recipe today though. But I'll be sharing how I spent my time with Mommy D at the market. Mommy D rarely go to the market now because she's too busy in her store. And it's also rare for us to go there together because to be honest I prepare to go there with Mama, haha. Anyways, going there is still fun so (⁠^⁠.⁠_⁠.⁠^⁠)⁠ﾉ

The weather is good today, this is my kind of good weather -it's 9:20 am but look how gloomy it is. But this is just right ＼⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠／

And so we're on our way to the market here. Our walk is kinda fast because Mommy F was left alone at home, so we have to finish this fast.

We arrive in the market and yeah, it's Tiangge-an Day. Look how busy this part of the market are.

So the first things we look are onions and garlic, we need stock of this two now especially we always cook. Mommy D just bought 1/4 each because look how expensive they are right now, that's ₱140 per or $2.45 per kilo. Why so mahal? Ako, kelan ako mamahalin? Charot! Lol

While looking around, some things caught my attention, they're fruits I think. I see them in the market but we never really tried buying and eating them. We don't really buy foods if we are not sure if they're good. I think the oldies and mama knows them, ako lang hindi, lol.

I also spotted a banana blossom in here though only one stalls selling them. We don't buy this in the market though because Auntie Velyn will just volunteer to give some to us, she has Banana Tree in their yard. Anyways, I think these are newly harvested one (⁠ﾉﾟ⁠0ﾟ⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠→.

I also spotted a taro here with its stem and leaves. This is really good with coconut milk, that one dish called Ginataang Gabi. It's one of the best and it taste good with any dried fish.

So our next stop was in the wet market, we're buying Milk Fish. We tried to look for a fatty ones and lucky because we found one and it's really fatty especially the belly part, wew, I can already imagine eating that part, my favorite!

So after getting the milk fish, we then made a quick trip going back home. It's really a fast shopping time, we didn't waste any more time.

And here's what we bought in the market, squash, okra, bitter gourd, long green chili and the milk fish ♪⁠┌⁠|⁠∵⁠|⁠┘⁠♪. So yes, we'll have a really healthy dish for today's lunch (⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/⁠♪⁠♪.
