#Morning wander through Tekka wet market
“Go early when the produce is freshest, and don't wear sandals — the floors stay wet.”
About this idea
Before the lunch crowds, Tekka's wet market is a feast for the senses: mounds of fresh spices, banana leaves, live seafood, tropical fruit and fragrant flower garlands. Watch vendors weigh and haggle, learn to spot a good curry-leaf bunch, and pick up ingredients or simply soak up the everyday rhythm.
