Typical Wet Market

These are the common sight at Air Itam morning market. Typical wet market in Penang which its style still in 1980's, plus more busier nowadays. Traffic definitely moving slow when passing through this area.

Those time when my granfather was still around and able to drive, he frequently brought me to this market. That's why I still have fresh memory about this place. Although it is quite a distance from where I stay, occasionally I still visited to this market because there are a lot of fresh and rare to get green that the local home-grown.

I bought fresh 20 chicken eggs that the seller claimed to be are village chicken egg 'ayam kampung' as my family loves half boiled eggs for breakfast. It costs 40sen per piece. When I prepare this, I found out that it is not as claimed to be. As for village chicken's egg, the egg yolk supposed to be in deep orange colour instead of yellow colour yolk from commercial breed chicken, and the size usually the smallest size of commercialised chicken eggs. No issue with the size. That means I end up paying almost double for a piece of egg that normally cost only around 20sen. hmmm.....
