Visiting 2 markets for the 1st time with my Aunt
It was the day I brought my Aunt to Mini UTC Sentul renew her Identification Card, and then when I asked her whether she wanted to buy anything from market, she said yes. Off we went to two markets; one was the wet market at ground floor of Mini UTC Sentul, another market at nearby my area called Genting Kelang Wet Market.

# 1. Market UTC Sentul

*Address: Jalan 3/48a, Bandar Baru Sentul, 51000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur*


**It was my first time here to this market as I seldom came this far to buy things because my area itself has a lot of markets. We were here at 3rd floor, so might as well buy our vegetables here. It has two sides of market, one is for wet market, one for dry market.**

I couldn't help but kept smiling when this vendor purposely posed for me. He saw me taking photo of the wet market and asked was it my first time there. I replied, "Yes". Then he asked me to take photo of him. So adorable. His stall sells pineapple and stinky beans, we called it 'petai'. But, both my Aunt and I did not want to buy pineapples and 'petai', so this photo of him was precious.

The wet market are is so spacious. So many stalls. Being our first time here, we needed to walk around to see the stalls one by one. My Aunt walked so fast. She was looking for vegetables stalls. Haha. So I quickly took photos of the stalls here, stalls with chicken and fish and other seafood.

Spotted this young man selling fresh fish with joy. I just loved it when I noticed people are happy doing their daily job. "Love the life you live and live the life you love." ❤️

Okay, so my Aunt found all the vegetables stalls, right at the end. When I reached her, she had started choosing her vegetables. So many vegetables stalls here, I wondered how was the competition. Was there any? Or all sells harmoniously.

I also took some time to pick the vegetables and fruit I needed before my Aunt disappeared due to her fast action. 

**In the center of the wet market, there stood a stall which sells clothes like briefs and panties, towels, bedsheets, and accessories like necklace, bracelets, amulets. Some of the batik clothes are very beautiful.**

We walked towards the dry area which is even more spacious than the wet area. My Aunt had nothing else to buy so she kept walking further away from me. I quickly took some photos below. So, I didn't get to slowly have a look at all the stalls here. Maybe next time I shall come here with my husband. He would understand I love to explore and slowly took my time to capture photos. I knew my Aunt needed to go home soon to cook.

Then, I spotted a fruit stall and remembered I needed to buy banana. So many fruits here, I could tell the fruits were fresh.

My Aunt and I were walking towards the car and spotted this shop selling innerwears.

# 2) Genting Klang Wet Market
**On the way home, in my car, I recalled my Aunt always needed to take bus to come to this market to buy pork. She loves to buy pork here so I quickly asked her whether she needed pork. She said yes. Off I turned into this wet market. Also my first time her but not her first time. She comes here weekly to do her marketing.**

After I found a car park at the road side, very fast like a flash, my Aunt had crossed the road. This is a huge market, most people stay at this vicinity come here for breakfast, and then will start to buy their weekly fresh produce and meat. I did not get to explore this market at all because our goal was to head to the section selling pork. Usually, it would be more hidden, like behind a wall or inside a compartment, due to *halal* thing in our country. My Aunt already knew well where was that section and I obediently followed.


![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmd5C5zD4hSj779T2ZGcYfq32t2dQeLWeuuPbicbKi2i6S/img_20221101_100153.jpg)

Here we were at the pork stall and the Seller immediately called her. Regular customer. She ordered pork belly while I ordered 1kg of soup bones.

Right opposite this pork shop, another Uncle was selling roasted pork belly and BBQ pork belly. Once I saw it, I was drooling. Then, I got jackpot because my Aunt suddenly said she wanted to buy roasted pork belly for my family. Wow!!!

As we walked out towards my car, I managed to snap some photos.

Suddenly, my Aunt stopped at bun's stall, said she wanted to buy some buns for the children.

***It was a different experience going to markets with my Aunt. A few lessons I learned that day was :-***

1. Always stay focused. Only buy what you needed. Don't get side track. 
2. The older you are, the faster you can walk. (she really walks very fast) 
3. Always make friends with vendor, friends get friends' special price.

Thank you @dswigle aka Denise for creating this space #MarketFriday for us to share our market or purchase experience and knowledge. I hope you enjoyed touring the markets here as well as learning some new stuff from my Aunt. 😁

Haha! I love vendors that *strike a pose* for me!  :)  He was so fun!

I have to say that this was one of the best markets I have been to in recent history. Amazingly spacious, the goods weren't jammed together so you couldn't see them properly and the prices seem very fair. Better than fair!  I cannot believe that you have never been there. Does your Aunt live close to you or does she live closer to this market? Seems like a really worthy venture!

Is it too far for you or actually you had already said you had a lot of markets near you? 

I am still amazed at the space it covered. I want to go there! That pork belly!!! Yummy!! My mouth is watering! Tell me, will you be going back with your aunt again? How nice of her to buy dinner for you!  :)
I enjoy learning about the world and how it is to live in your corner of it, and if there are solutions to making it better in any way.  I find it interesting to compare, not by the world's standards, but, by how we find the quality of our life with different indicators than the world does. It is not always about the wealth in money, sometimes money means very little when there is no value behind it. You cannot buy health although you can take care of what you have. Being educated isn't always about schooling, but acquiring knowledge and using it for the better good and happiness of the society you are living in. It is with great pleasure that I read through this and all of the posts, with these thoughts in mind.

Don't miss the small things in your life, they usually make no noise but can be indicators of bigger things. I enjoy learning more about you and hope you feel the same, that is why I find it important to take the time to read a couple of #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment. It is important for a community to do this, learning about others, and getting to know each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life.  *All this fun and money too.* What is not to love? That is one of the reasons I joined Hive. How about you?  :)  I leave you with the guidelines. I hope you are having an amazing week!


<br>

 ### Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:

<br>
 
#### Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!

<br>


1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service. It can be a movie, an auction, or even a museum. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or product.
Take pictures! Be creative!
2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost? Was it expensive? Did it go up or down? A scroll of pictures with few words doesn't usually work.
3. Post the pictures. Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post, it is too difficult to guess about some.
4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post (#hive-196308) This is not required but appreciated.
**PLEASE  Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it!!**
6. Following me and reblogging the post would be appreciated, but not a rule, more vision for more views on the #MarketFriday posts!
**7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post.**


As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!
