Petak Sembilan Market, the street market in Jakarta's Chinatown district, is open daily starting at 5:00 in the morning. While the market is popular for tourists wanting to see the colors and the action, it is locals who are there early each day making purchases. In addition to vegetables, fruit and herbs, the market is popular for its selection of seafoods and meats - which often sell out early in the day.

We weren't sure what to expect when our guide, Ira Lathief, led us on to the narrow street in the midst of Jakarta's Chinatown. It didn't take long for us to appreciate one of the city's busiest street markets offering exotic seafoods and other grocery items plus so much more. Thanks to Ira, we even had a chance to taste a few treats!
