The Dry Part

Let me get this straight. It was not exactly dry, but certainly, it was less wet than the first part. This part of the market had stalls selling vegetables, herbs and spices as well as fruits. It was more packed, with a smaller space in the aisle. More foreign migrants were manning the shops as well, mainly Indonesian and Bangladeshis.

The lights in this area were also different from the wet market. We were totally dependent on artificial tungsten lighting. Not that great for photography, and it presented us with a different kind of opportunities.

There were undoubtedly more colours from fresh fruits and vegetables. There were also plenty of targets for close-up shots. We spent less time here as navigating in between the stalls was tricky.

We exit out at the opposite side to where we entered. Here was where the food stalls were located. Most were still closed that this early hours and those who had already opened were still setting up their stores. Many husbands were sat here grumpily waiting for their wives to finish with their shopping.

We had a chance to sit down while Robin, the videographer, was taking footage. One of the owners even gave us some kueh to taste - which was nice. People were generally very polite, and I must say I enjoyed shooting here. As I mentioned, it had been a few years since I have been to Chow Kit.
