To market, to market...

Our day started early with a trip to Baan Ting Koa market, near Phuket Town.



A CURRY PASTE VENDOR
This is what the Union Square Farmers Market is missing!


3 DIFFERENT SHRIMP PASTES
Each paste is of a different quality. Pat explains that you can tell the better quality shrimp paste because it has lots of little black dots in it, shrimp eyeballs. If there are not a lot of shrimp eyeballs, the the paste has been made with some other type of fish.

KEFFIR LIMES and FRESH GREEN PEPPERCORNS
We'll be cooking the whole peppercorns into the curry.
They are eaten just like any other type of vegetable!


WING BEANS


And so many mushrooms and chillies!


So many funky fruits vegetables!


FRESH EGG NOODLES, RICE NOODLES & TOFU


LOTS OF SPICES & OTHER STRANGE INGREDIENTS


But first, Thai breakfast:
coconut and sweet corn jellies, pumpkin custard with coconut
and bananas with black beans and sticky rice:
