The woman is using the mortar and pestle to mash the spices and then she adds this to the raw green papaya. *** Must be jelly sweets. *** Cold desserts to quench the sun-dried palates. *** Ice cream from Nylon Ice cream parlor.  Quite a following among the locals for this dirty a.k.a. home-made ice cream. *** Rainbow ice cream. Choices vary from tropical fruit like Durian to the classic ones  like chocolate and vanilla.  ***
