This morning I joined several other ladies and we visited the KK (Kandang Kerbau) Market. It is one of several ‘wet markets’ called wet because the floors are wet from the washed down meat and fish stalls. We started out in the fresh vegetables and fruits and worked our way up to the smellier, bloodier meat and fish area. I am a bit squeamish, I admit, and managed to look away from the poultry guys who were chopping off the chicken heads; there were decapitated chickens (you could look at their chopped off neck) and piles of heads next to them. I do plan to buy boneless, skinless chicken at the market as I have heard many glowing reports on how good, how fresh, they are from the market. I just don’t want to know every detail about how it’s done! I ended up buying some fresh red snapper which I had filleted, some beautiful cherries, a ‘fragrant pear’, and some seedless mandarin oranges (don’t think they are Clementines, but they taste quite good).

From there we walked through Little India and I split off from the group to visit a jewelry supply shop in Chinatown before heading off for Wednesday bridge. I managed to buy a metal mandrel for rings, a keychain with metal ring sizes, a wooden bracelet mandrel as well as a nylon headed hammer. The prices were less than in the USA and from what I saw, they pretty much carried all the tools and equipment you need.

These are giant fruit, I thought they called them 'Jimmy' fruit but a search on Google didn't turn up anything....so maybe I got it wrong.
