Some seriously jacked up, jackfruit. The largest I have seen, yet.
Pickled and preserved Malay fruit
A bit of the China Town, market scene. I did try some dried meat in a local shop. The meat was sweet and extremely tender. I would compare it so a flat square of jerky, red color, with a sweet pork taste (not pictured).
I may have snuck in the fish butchering market one afternoon. The building is nothing more than a large roofed, unenclosed shed. I quickly got the impression that they don't have many farang (or women for that matter) passing through. The men were happy to talk with me and answer any of my questions. Most of the fish hacking (calling it like it experienced it) is done in the early morning, after the first catch of the day. The floors are tiled and wet. After job is done, the counters are flushed with water. The atmosphere is every bit fishy and warm.
And that's a taste and a glimpse of Penang Market sightings.

The first commenter says. "Seems a bit fishy to me..."
The second commenter who is Thai and has no feel for sarcasm states "Yes. Obviously. It is a fish market."
The third commenter shrugs and walks into a bar.
The forth commenter wants to comment but can't because there is no comment to top Nicholas Simon's comment.
As the fifth commenter, speaking to the first commenter regarding the commenters, well said. To the forth commenter, you could be my twin..
