The variety of bananas that is most popular are these smaller and much sweeter bananas that are not commonly exported.
Great looking veggies all along the front of the market.
Shy girls smiling for the camera. If you ever try one of these grass brooms you will never go back to a heavy two-hander broom for simple floor sweeping. These are super light, designed for one-handed use, and the super fine grass doesn't miss a thing. You can get them at asian super markets like Grand Mart, in Centerville and Sterling. I have one.
Habeneros get all the hype for being hot, but these tiny red chilis, when they turn red, are hotter than anything I've ever eaten. We picked some in the forest last year near Eme's home. They grow on a bush that has woody trunk and branches. These chilis are like decorations on the bush. Just one of these vitamin-pill sized chilis is enough for most dishes.
Juice stands
Deep-fried egg. Hard-boiled egg, rolled in flour, then deep fried.
This special Philippine delicacy was featured as an "Eating Challenge" on the TV show "Fear Factor" a few years back. The contestants didnt' seem to like it very much. Do a Google search for "Balot" and read until you can't read anymore. NOTE: The more challenging one, is the one that costs 15 pesos.
More dried fish...you smell it before you sea it.
Have brooms EVER been so beautiful?
Red Rice...it's what's for dinner...and has a nice nutty flavor!
Eme buying our veggies. These two ladies had the best variety and best quality

Shrimp and prawns
Prawn on the left, shrimp on the right - we bought a kilo of prawns.
