Dead & Alive at the Tamu

Many are the choices at the Tamu. One can find dead fish as the above picture shows and very much alive ones too, and when i mean alive...it's still alive and kicking.

These kerang's are still very alive, if you pick one up it will still stick it's tongue or whatchamallit at you...i ain't not marine biologist okay. The ikan sembilang is stick flopping about under the watchful eyes of junior while mama's chatting with her buddies.

Farm produce and king crabs all up for grabs. Most everything is sold in longgok's so when one purchases one buys the whole longgok.

Kueh nicely packed & tied up Crabs. The tourist in me was just like...wow cool, to them i must be some buduh city boy who has not seen the kampung way of doing things.

Ubat kayu & akar to heal and repair or strengthen parts of the body or body parts and gambir and stuff for chewing betel leaves. The white cheesy looking stuff is actually lip balm to moisture the lips and mouth after chewing of betel leaves.

Tikars made by the Bajau and of course not to miss out the nicotine fix for the ciggie smokers the world over. Tembakau is sold in clumps and bagged for the smoker to roll their ciggies themselves.

The Tamu is an interesting experience.
