The First Time My Little Brother Accompanied Us to Shop in the Local Market: Buying Ingredients and a Quick Stop to Buy Ube Ice Scramble

My little brother's been staying with us here in Bansud for more than 2 weeks now, but this is only the first time he decided to come with us to the market. He's scheduled to go back to Lipa tomorrow, so maybe that's why he decided to accompany us and maybe, also to see the changes in Bansud Market, lol. There's already a lot of changes in Bansud, some are really a good change for our small town. Anyhow, i'm glad we did this today \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/

So yeah, this is one of our walks going to the market,the only difference is it's not just me and Mama, but also with my little brother Taboy, haha. Ah, wait, he is Sandy now, haha. His name is Rocky Boy, and it's a real man's name, lol. But I'll still call him "Bakla" no matter what he decides to call himself, haha. I remember my Ate Riza calling each other "Panget." Panget is a Tagalog word, and it means "ugly," haha. But it's a fun name, and we don't really take offense at it. We already got used to calling each other by that name (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠).

It's a nice weather today to do a quick walk. I already have my umbrella in my hand but decided to just wear my cap, mama wore her cap too.

Our walk is nice and slow here, we don't have to hurry because it's not hot outside. And while we're walking, I can't help but compare my height to Mama and my brother. I got my height from Papa, mama is really taller than Papa. It's sad I didn't get Mama's height, if only i'm a bit taller ┐⁠(⁠ ̄⁠ヘ⁠ ̄⁠)⁠┌.

Forget about my height (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠), because we're in a market, I have to buy the needed ingredients for today's lunch. Because we didn't able to buy snails last week, Mommy F asked me to check it today. Luckily there is a snail available in the Tiangge-an. We stop by in this shop to buy coconut milk. It's fresh, with newly grated coconut and the milk was squeezed out in front of my face. UwU

We stay in tge market a bit longer to buy other things, some ingredients and some stuffs. My brother also decided to buy fried chicken even though Mama already bought a fresh chicken in the wet market, haha. Well, he said he'll eat it after arriving home.

So this is where he bought his fried chicken. This fried chicken shop's been here for a very long time now. We still have a store in the center of the town then, they are already selling fried chicken. They have their own shop before, but now they are using this shop on the wheel. Well, this is more amazing as they can bring this anywhere they want.

We also stop by in Neneng's Halo-Halo to buy ice scramble. This one cost 20 pesos. I didn't buy one gor myself though, it's bad for me and I don't want to experience post nasal drip today. UwU. I'm tempted but thanks heaven I was able to stop myself from buying it. Lol

After getting all we needed here, we then go back home. Next is preparing our lunch. UwU

And this is what we had for lunch. Mommy F's favorite, Ginataang Suso with Malungga. It's creamy and really flavorful. Live how Mommy D cook it.

Itadakimasu!

What a sweet and lively story, ang cutee haha. Market trips are always better with family, and that Ginataang Suso looks delicious

Haha, yeah, it's more fun, sad pauwi na mamya ang bakla sa Lipa. Hahahaha. And the suso is really masarap. Uwu

Yan na Naman ang ulam nyo na gusto kung kainin Sana😬😁. Hay😤. Marami kang Makikita SA market na gusto mong bilhin. Minsan hirap din mgpigil.

So trueee, ako nakakapag pigil kasi di na pasok sa budget, hahaha. Lucky pero ang sad talaga

It’s nice that your brother joined you at the market! Looks like you all had a fun and chill day. The food sounds really good, especially the ginataang suso. Made me hungry while reading I want to try this.😄🍴

Yeah, it's really nice. Pauwi na sya mamya eh at least he got the chance to visit the market again. After so many years.

Atesora esos momentos así, en familia, compartiendo experiencias en común.
Son momentos muy valiosos, y eres muy dichosa de poder vivirlos.
Hermoso post.

I'll treasure them forever that's for sure. Thank you \⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠/
