Very crowded, lots of food on a stick, including live scorpions. Yes, they impale the scorpions so that they are still alive and moving on the stick. So sad. My friend just had to have a roasted one, so I tried it. Ok. Tasted like...More

Hugely crowded, hang onto your wallet. This place is so full of interesting things to eat, people to see, oddments to buy. Most of all just soak up all the atmosphere of high speed Chinese salesmanship. After you have been astounded by the selection of...More

First visited here in Dec 2008, then again from Aug 2011 to Dec 2016, 5 years in a row!! So many street food ranging from scorpions, spiders, stinky tofu fried, squid in spicy sauce to dumplings served fresh!! I can't even describe how many times...More
