Singkawang's Midnight Hours
My hometown is called Singkawang, it's a remote town in West Kalimantan in Borneo Island in Indonesia. This town is mostly lived by the Hakka Chinese Tribe, I'm also a Hakka decendant, so people here are the pork eater. He he he..
Last month I pay a short visit to Singkawang because my maternal grandfather past away, with so little time to spend there, so in the midnight me and my childhood good friend Mr. Jan Sin went to pork market to see how it look like ...
Above is the Famous Singkawang Pork Market "cu nyiuk thu" look like in the daylight... Honestly I don't recognize it at first, because it was renovated and improved...and below is the situation at midnight....
This Man above is the caretaker of the pork market, somesort of coordinator he claimed, I forgot his name, but he tell me a lot of stories maybe histories of this pork market.
The pork was ready on the seller table before midnight it was slaughtered in a slaughter house away from this pork market. Everyday Singkawang people consume average of 30 pigs in this pork market alone, not counted pork that sold outside from this pork market.
In the past...After the selling ends in the afternoon there are ussualy a traditional dice gambling called "liung fu" was played here among the butcher inside this pork market. I don't know it now these days are still played or not..
There are many legendary stories here.. If you want to know more about this legendary pork market what have happen there just pay a visit there when you are in Singkawang town.
