The colours are so inviting!

These are some of the tropical fruits found in local markets – durian, rambutan, banana, longgan, sapodilla, snake fruit, local lychee, and mango. Imported fruits like apples and oranges are also sold side by side these tropical fruits.

One of the hundreds of shops/stalls found at Psah Thmey (Central Market).

My husband and I love going to local markets. It’s the best place to find all kinds of goods, such as you see in the above photo. Tell me what can you see?

Psah Thmey, like all the other markers in the country, have a wonderful, chaotic character in them that a first-time visitor are easily overwhelmed. Market scenes like this assault your senses — all things bright and colourful, the lively sounds, and the smell, oh, the glorious smell of a market!

More market scenes are found here.

Monday Mellow Yellows: Consumer goods

I always go to local markets for our food supplies and, I tell you, it’s chaotic and noisy and it’s so easy to get caught in things when there’s so many things screaming for your attention. And this is one shop that sells dry goods – from seasonings (soy, oyster, chilli sauces), cooking oils, the pungent fish sauce, dishwashing liquid, laundry powder and bath soaps as well as mature coconuts – all piled together!

All the goods, from cooking to bathroom products, are arranged neatly. Some of the food stuff are put beside laundry products though.

After many years of living in Cambodia, I’ve learned how to navigate the public markets. I’ve also became familiar with the products, their packaging and multi-lingual labels.

Hello, I’m back! I wasn’t planning on a long blog hiatus but there you go… I just did.
Now that I’m here again, I would try to make up for the lost time.

Here’s my Monday Mellow Yellows entry for this week:

Tshirts galore, available at Psah Thmey (Central Market).

I just happened to pass by and these brightly-coloured merchandise caught my eye. Most of the shirts actually have good quality similar to those sold in air-conditioned shops, but are way cheaper!

Some cheap RTW (ready-to-wear) clothes at Psah O’Russei. This market is like a wholesale distribution centre for most RTWs coming from Vietnam, China, HK, and many others. It just creeps me out looking at the mannequins.
