sagay SM
January 13, 2009SM in sagay? no way! not yet anyway. what we’ve got is SM as in Sa Merkado, or Sulod Merkado. others have come to bill it as Sagay Mall. uhumm..
standing on a one-hectare lot with 84 stalls, the old market of our youth was given a major make-over to the tune of 77 million pesos. it was inaugurated last december 2008.
gone are the wet, the mud, the stink, the rickety stools and tables. the wet section - fish, meat, fruits, veggies, lamas and recados, betel nuts, buyo and the like - has been moved to the new wet market.
so what do we have now? go see… the photos aren’t great, but well…
the main entrance facade with the “must’ signs
entrance hallway in faux terra cotta tiles (or is it? real terra cotta? wow..)
open air garden to hang out or park one’s weary butt in
no longer the karinderia section but the FOOD COURT. i didnt get to check if tia patring is still there though.
food attendants are required to wear hairnets. chafing dishes instead of calderos in keeping with the new look
spaghetti sosi to go with bola bola pugang-gang and porkchops. they also have tabagak kinilaw in tausi, inky lukos, amargoso torta, atay sarciado… namit gid eh!
we didnt get to do this as kids - play on the market floors. lucky them. twenty-four cleaners are assigned to keep the market in shiny-ness glory. i wonder for how long???
kettles perennially boil underneath the counter behind. each stall has a brick chimney. coffee is still brewed and strained in conical canvass strainers. and no, coffee in some stalls is no longer served in rusty tin cups but in italian whites, yeay!
yes odette, the apunganon still sells abaca and plastic ropes for the karbaw (carabao), timba, balde, etc.
virgie asawa ni binuro, beautician of the grannies - mani/pedi and perms for lola vacing, lola deling tupas, nanay felicing
tio rene of rene’s tailoring has long retired but the sastres are still there
ang relipan (second hand clothes) , bow ! and the street side bugasan (rice shops). note the sidewalk - done in cobbled bricks
