wet market

so yesterday was the first time in a really really long while I found myself "shopping" in a wet market. the wet floor aside (hence the term wet market), I really had a good experience.

always wanted to buy ingredients from wet market but was never able to wake up early enough for it, so I ended up buying from supermarkets.

wet markets are so much better than supermarkets!

1. you do not need to buy more than you need. you can buy 1 pc of lemon, a specific amount of chicken wings or prawns. unlike supermarket, you would often have to buy more than you need.
2. wet markets stall owners know what they are selling. how often do you find yourself at a supermarket and needing to ask a staff which type of onion should you use for a specific kind of cooking? you probably find a staff that do not know much other than where the item is kept. at the wet market, the stall owner can advise you accordingly so that you will buy the right thing.
3. it is just cheaper than supermarket.

for all the pros, and just one or two cons, I think im really going to start marketing at wet markets more often.
