    Bustling and hustling wet, dirty and slippery market with tons of indoor and outdoor shops around. You will have an interesting experience especially for those living in Western countries shopping at supermarkets or on-line grocery shopping. You will be met by a combination of nice (cooked food stores), fowl, strange smells etc. all mixed together in a big cauldron. Extremely fresh, live and kicking seafoods, fresh porks and beef (sometimes the entire goat in the winter time!) with all those horrible intestines hanging outside the shops for customers to pick n choose. They still have 2 live poultry shops for customers to choose, the slaughter the pot things on the spot! Watch out for those fresh and smelly meat shops when you walk by. My maid said the butcher just shaked or threw bits and pieces of pork fat trimmings which landed right on her arm last summer during her day off. (one of her favorite hang out places). Poor girl! She is an Indonesian Muslim, though not a very religious one.

    The old-style meat and fish/seafood market; the latter as fresh as it gets! Like others before me have mentioned, it’s not for the squeamish, with the attendant sights and odours! If you’re a meat lover and love cooking it, then this is the place to source stuff. One section has prime cuts of pork, goose and duck, while opposite are the fish and seafood stalls with live stock. Freshwater fish like glass carp and katla rub shoulders with salt water produce such as groupers and snappers and a whole host of shellfish : clams, mussels and oysters and crustaceans: crabs, shrimp and prawns. There are fruit and vegetable stalls as well; look around before buying since they have different rates for the same fruit at different stalls. Also, they don’t take too kindly to bargaining. Tip : go fruit shopping later at night around 9-930pm, when they’re shutting, it’s less crowded and prices drop.

    NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR VEGETARIANS! This market is very confronting if you've never been close the to source of your meats and fish.. A very old style market where you can buy a huge variety of meats and fish. Its not a tourist mecca so I would avoid it unless you are curious about the supply chain of the animals you eat.
