Siaton Public Market

Description

Southern Negros Oriental town market suited to a slow-food ecosystem layer. In Siaton, the southernmost town of Negros Oriental, coastal and upland at once. Public markets here run hardest before 8am, when the night’s catch is in and upland produce has just come down; by late morning it’s mostly dry goods and leftovers. Prices are negotiable in the wet and dry sections. Worth a stop for muscovado, tablea and native sweets at market rather than shop prices — bring small notes and your own bag.

Tips
Coastal and upland production sit far apart in the same municipality; pick one or the other for a half day rather than trying to cover both. Cassava drying slabs are roadside and visible without needing to stop.
