The food market is down one of the side alleys off the market. You pay a certain amount and you can fill your plate with all the foods they have on their table.
It's really nice and everything is fresh and tasty.
Lemongrass fish - an absolute winner! Braai'd to perfection on an open fire.
One of the tables you can get food from. They have tables and beers and everything so you can sit in the market.
Really delicious.
Dumplings through to pickled bamboo through to noodle soup through to chicken kebabs...

And then they go and ruin it all by selling walky talky's....
