Last saturday I woke up at 5 am to go to Agdao market (palengke) with my Uncle Boy. It is quite big and divided in several sections for fruits, grain, meat, fish, flowers and more. These fruits (mango, watermelon, pineapple, papaya, different kinds of bananas etc.) are carefully piled up and sometimes already cut. This jackfruit (nangka) for example is to big to sell it at once.
A big market like this is not only a place for buying and selling but also for producing (anything that can be used for cooking).
These men make wraps for i.e. springrolls (lumpia) - these white things in the front table. One is using pastry to create thin circles on the hot iron stove and the other one is collecting them. The wraps are done in seconds so these guys are actually working pretty fast. The wraps are also used for sweet bananas, that dish is called Maruya. It's usually served for meryenda (snacks are very common).
