The Jackfruit Sisters

I love the rural Ramadan bazaars. The traders are friendly and the food they sell are different. This is near Dusun Nanding and these are giant jackfruits, fresh from the orchards.

I like how the ladies laughed and giggled as the fruit is being cut up. Sometimes, to be a good street photographer, you have to be a jack of all trades. If you tell the right joke at the right time, it puts people at ease. But if your joke isn’t funny or is offensive, you might be staring at the business end of a knife.

Bull Drink

I was strolling around the Ramadan food bazaar when a Red Bull sign at a drink stall caught my eye. I said “Betul ke?” (Really?). The smiling hawker quickly scooped me a cup to try. He said “no charge” as I was examining the charging bulls logo. Inside my mind, I was thinking ‘bull’ but he is such a nice guy and the drink tasted quite good.

With his permission, I started photographing the ‘energy drink’ from inside the giant tumbler. He asked if I was worried the camera may slip and fall into the liquid. I said no as the camera is water-resistant. He replied he is not worried too, as his cost is quite low. Aha!  Confession time. He uses an imitation cordial that comes in a big bottle. Try it at Stall 65, Pasar Ramadan Section 14, Petaling Jaya.
