⌛ Day Trip Part 1 - Malatapay Market

Hello everyone! new member here and this is my first post.

I was actually looking for forums about Negros Oriental and bump on this site as I search through google. Nice pictures you have here! I'm actually a Zamboangnon and is (almost) always at this place during wednesdays. My place is located in Zamboanguita proper so it's not very far from Malatapay (around 2-3 km from here). At the moment, I'm in a different place so i felt nostalgic looking at the pics. Funny, I knew some of the people on the pics. :D One is actually a former Vice Mayor of the Town (clue: Leopard Apron...:D). Thank you very much for sharing. Going through the pictures makes me wanna go home right now...:(

 

Although this is not the correct thread for introducing, welcome to this forum Novice.
So we are from the same municipality !
Malatapay is nearly my neighbor at less than 1 km.
My dear honneponey is going every Tuesday afternoon and every Wednesday morning to buy stuff at the Malatapay market.
I did company her in the beginning but got problems with smelling the dried fish everywhere there.:o
Good reason to stop going although it is a must if you have not yet been there
I will give the regards to that vice mayor :D

 

Thanks for the warm welcome jellyfish and sorry for the wrong post. Should be introducing myself on the right place... Anyway, your from Brgy Basak or Brgy Maluay? Good to see fellow Zamboangnon as a mod here. Sounds like you're a foreigner married to a Zamboangnon? or am I wrong...:D

 

Partly wrong, Novice.
I am indeed from Maluay but NOT married to a beauty of Zamboanguita.
My beautyqueen (my partner) comes from the island of the best mangos in the whole world: Guimaras.
I sound like a foreigner ? So I could not hide it that well :D
But don't call me a 'mod' because the only mod here will else get angry on me and he probably will never dance with me again :D
No, I'm just a normal member on this forum.

 

well, there are 3 mods... and by the way Jelly, IMHO you are anything else than normal ... that's why we get along so well :p

anyway novice, welcome to DI, hope you have a great time

 

Wow, the fishes looks real fresh and the meat even fresher. How much per Kilo..no not the fish silly...yummmmm. :p

Yea, I would venture that is local cocoa with KLIM and maybe sugar too. Just add hot water and presto!

 

see post below

 

Coconut Palm Tree sugar!

Coconut Sugar Philippines

 

ground cacao fruit/ main source of chocolate products

 

How can you be so sure from that distance (California) ?
Because it has a (nearly) similar color or you did taste it here ?
I think that Wileiz has the better answer.
But I will double check it with the makers next Wednesday :D
