Mexico Dream:Oaxaca episode2

Mexico's vegetable colors like a toy. Vivid bright colors and shinny body. I am little jealousy they have a beautiful fruits and vegetables everywhere also super cheap. We woke up in the morning and went to "Benito Juarez Market" for fresh fruit juice. Benito market is big local market in the town has many food vendor inside but also easily can see people sale chocolate and mole which is trade product in Oaxaca. Through bakery, chocolate, cloth alley we found a meat alley that most popular in the market. When you select as much as you want of displayed various raw meat, they put them on the grill right away and bring them up. If you choose to side salad, grilled vegetables and tortilla it can be ordered separately. We decided to stay away from the meat though it was hardly leave without a taste of it so I just took a seat without any second thought. After order the food 5min later large bamboo dish served with amazing looking thin sliced pork and chorizo and juicy grilled scallion. WOW~~ Wrap a piece of meat and topped with grilled vegetable, salsa, lime and There we go~ A blend of each fresh ingredient was excellent and with local beer! I l already ready to take a nap after lunch. But only bother thing is that in spite of the thinly meat it's very dry and not juicy at all. I love the local style BBQ though after finish the meal I had little pain in my jaw. Beside of BBQ we ordered big round "pizza" looking crispy baked thin tortilla topped negro mole with tomato, Oaxaca cheese, avocado. Delicious~ That was really good. During stay in Oaxaca I came by in the market every day because I was very concern about eating but that's why I totally forgot to  shopping some souvenir. Thanks god I bought famous hot chocolate and Mezcal but then again after come back to NY I realized it's all food. How can I keep the memory of Oaxaca!!!
