Market Friday The Scene in Wangsa Maju Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

I have a local wet market where I live in the Wangsa Maju area of Kuala Lumpur. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from about 7 am to 9 am. Different vendors come on different days and I am not quite up on all of those details, so I get what I can get while stumbling around so early in the morning.

Today I am showing you mostly the scene and not too many products. I do not know what most of the products are anyway so you can not know what you are looking at with me.

This first photo is the pork vendor from up above. This is the first thing I see while walking to the market, but the last place I get to due to the path I need to take. But I am definitely buying the pork products when I get down there. The liver I love so much is free! I have no idea why, but I'll take it.

I have no idea what this man sells, but I like his red stool set up.

This is the sign of an organized mind.

I have to pause at the top of the stairs to photograph my skinny legs each time I come to this spot with the chickens hanging off the grill thing. The morning light and low sun makes me look taller and thinner than I am and I could look at myself for hours right here. People have to go around me while I gawk at myself.

The lady in the green shirt is my chicken lady, unrelated to the last chickens you saw on the grill thing.

She sells raw chicken cut up however you like it. I get two chicken breasts each time for about $1.25 usd and she chops them up so I can stir fry the pieces. I also get her eggs you can see. The chicken will be coming in another post and that will be not-safe-for-vegans.

This greens table is action central. I just get a few small items and pay my dollar. Most of the other people are having controversy. I wish I could understand what is going on, but the guy in the black shirt is always moderating disputes. It's chaos here every single time and maybe I will try to get a video of it for you.

This lady sells all kinds of dried, canned, and packaged items as well as things such as mushrooms, garlic, onions, and ginger. She is really nice to me and speaks good English. But she often does not know the names for products in English and if she does, I still don't know what it is. She lets me sample things and I still don't know what they are.

For example, MANY people buy this by the handful. I only know "it's good for your health!" I want it, but I do not know what I would do with it.

A lot of people sell it. Sometimes it comes in trees and sometimes it comes in lumps. It might be salted vegetable as you see in the packages next to it. But what kind of vegetable?

Here is is being sold in tree-like form next to packages of seaweed rounds from China. I got the seaweed for about 50 cents and it is delicious! Just as good as the seaweed I got in Thailand and half the price!

So now you are as confused as me. Stay tuned for my next post in this series which will have more focus on products and much less information. I hope I will have my act together for this time next week.

If you spend money anywhere, you can take photos and post to Market Friday too. This is sponsored by @dswigle and most people actually know what they are looking at, so please go check them out! Here is today's announcement post for your enjoyment.
