This market was highly recommended by colleagues and guidebooks alike, and I am glas I visited it whenever I manage to wake up early. It is a parking space during the weekdays, and filled with stalls selling foods, goods from independent grocers and farmers, nearby restaurants, etc...

There are a lot of freshly grilled and fried food, but also proper cooked meal that can be enjoyed in the middle of the market.
 |
| Grilled seafood and fish |
 |
| Grilled meat |
Of course there are butcher and fresh fish produce as well. But the fun of it is discovering local specialties.
 |
| Rice cakes with sometimes stuffings, wrapped in leaves |
|
 |
| Salted eggs and dried fish |
 |
| Pigeon dishes |
 |
| Something to quench your thirst in the heat |
There are some local crafts as well but mainly it is for food and maybe spices and grains etc. I got some pancake mix with 'ube', which is purple sweet potato (vomanga in Malagasy). It was fun to check out the fruit stalls as well, and I got myself some papaya.
 |
| Strawberries and durian, pineapples |
 |
| Papayas |
 |
| Dragonfruit and soursap |
 |
| Pretty grocer's display |
It will take many visits to taste all the stalls, and I hope I can come over when I am not traveling.

| Tita Bambi is sooo right |
And with that a Saturday morning is well spent.
