Sunday Morning at Teka Market (part 1)

Teka Market is in the heart of Little India - one of Singapore's most colorful areas
On Sunday by 10AM things are already getting going
Our favorite roti prata/ murtabak stand in action - note the pots of fresh cooking curry and all the eggs
One guy makes the roti - dough, eggs and lots of ghee (clarified butter)
My absolute fave mutton murtabak and a fresh mango lassi - with nice curry to soak it in!



Teka is the place to go for produce, meat and fish. It's also full of food stands. While we usually head to the Muslim stands there are also plenty of Chinese stalls as well. Our custom (ok we haven't really been here long enough for it to be a custom) is to get our breakfast - roti prata (http://www.answers.com/topic/roti-prata), murtabak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murtabak) and drinks - mango lassis (http://www.food-nepal.com/recipe/R035.htm) , teh tarik or halias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh_tarik).
The taste is great and the experience is second to none.

After that nice bite we do a little shopping. The assortment of produce, fruit, spices, seafood and meat is really astounding - from durian, mangosteen, rambutan and jack fruit to ladyfinger, banana flower, lotus to tiger prawns, cockles, giant squid, mutton, black chicken, dried salted fish, curry powder to kim chee - its all there and more.....
