How about a side trip to a public market? No, there's nothing really special about the Candido Lopez Memorial Public Market in Lipa City, Batangas. I just enjoyed my time watching around the market and taking photos of the veggies, fruits and other fresh products. I was there 2nd week of April to participate in a group development activity and part of the activity was a tour in the market. So here are what my camera phone has captured:
Yes, tomatoes! Tomatoes are actually fruits, not veggies according to experts, and are perfect for ensalada -- green mango plus tomatoes plus bagoong!
Cucumbers or "pipino" in Tagalog are perfect for a salad recipe. Easy to prepare. Slice the cucumbers and put them in a bowl. Add salt and sugar to taste. Add a little paminta. There you have a simple cucumber salad.
Melons are summer fruits - perfect for summer refreshments. Grate the melons and put the grated melons in a pitcher. Add sugar to taste and there you have a melon juice. You can add milk, too.
This is the facade of the public market. On the 2nd Floor are eateries and canteens. On the 1st Floor are all you need in your kitchen!
