I could have spent a couple of hours exploring the fresh food stalls full of fish, fruits, herbs and spices. The warren of shops provide a heady experience of aromas, alas, other family members just found it too smelly.

I love wet markets and the moment I arrived here people were friendly and smiling for photos. The market is primarily catering to the Indian community although there are also sellers of Muslim and Chinese products here too.

At first I wasn’t sold having come from the almost spotless and friendly streets of downtown Singapore. Look beyond the hustle and bother of little India and you’ll find the jewel. Best advise in any hawker market, look for the one where all of the locals are eating, most commonly you’ll see an old couple running it using their families secret touch. Not disappointed here at all, spicy, flavoursome and filling.…
