Another day, another market... I think this was a local only market

Today I wandered over to a market. I suspiciously think that only locals go to this market. Here is the entrance to said market!


 
These were the first two people I saw in this market. I thought their presentation of the rice was so amazing! I managed to ask them if I could take their photo long with the rice. They seemed so happy when I asked, they even posed together for me.

 
 I love the presentation of this rice.


I bought some lemon basil from this vendor. It smells LOVELY and tastes even better. I had heard of lemon basil before but I never knew how much it actually tasted like lemon!


 Next time I go I am DEFINITELY buying some of those baby bok choy.

 
 This is the Thai sweet basil i bought from a vendor who was technically in the fish/seafood market. I didn't stay long in that area. The smell wasn't bad, but the woman I bought the basil from was super grumpy at me. I need to get her picture next time. She's already grumpy, so why not?
 
 This was my first time trying rambutan. They are really good. They taste like a grape and lychee love-child. The fruit inside is pretty juicy too and surrounds a hard stone-like pit that you have to eat around.

 
Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the food, but it was on one side of the market and I really like the look of it.
