Thursday Food Market
Description
Paprika plantain chips come in a large bag and somehow become a very small bag before you reach the motorbike. Thursday Food Market is the island’s proper stock-up stop for mangoes, dragon fruit, cucumbers, eggs, herbs, spices, fish and the vegetables needed to rescue a holiday kitchen from instant noodles.
The curry stall is the food to chase here, with chicken and rice, grilled fish, spring rolls and vegetable fritters covering the rest of lunch. Fresh produce is cheap, the fish is small and grilled to order, and the ready-made dishes save you from negotiating with a rented saucepan.
It is compact, busy and decidedly local, with clothes and shoes wedged between fruit, meat and snack stalls. Anyone seeking polished displays and souvenir tat will find the fluorescent strip lights emotionally challenging.
Cooking in a villa or apartment? Fill a bag here and make dinner worth staying in for. The dragon fruit is the one to grab before the good pile disappears.
