Morning Market in Pudu

Parking here is terrible. Some parts of the market emanates certain odour that might not be pleasant (I am trying to down play this). Not only are the car lanes congested, human lanes are just as bad. But despite all those, the place remained one of the popular markets for housewives to do their household ingredients shopping. It is also a place where many people meet and trades all sorts of things, from antiques to rare animals. I say it is a rather good place to show the tourist, if they really want to see Malaysia. But make sure they have gone to restroom prior to the visits and don't drink too much water. Malaysian toilets are still rather appalling.
These are not for sale.
Pet fishes are sold by packets.
Many choices for many preferences.
Fresh & dried herbs for your health.
Veges of all sorts.
More local veges.
A little hill of dried anchovies.
I couldn't believe it at first. But I was really walking on road piled with cockerel shells.
Fresh fishes anyone?
Rows after rows after rows of stalls.
Citruses, seeds, squash, gourds and tubers.
Red hot chilies.
The are still more shops behind the stalls.
Colourful pickles.
Uncle special offer.
Beautiful torch ginger flower/bud (locally called bunga kantan).
Petai, twisted cluster bean, yongchaak or stink bean. Call it whatever you want, true Malaysian love it just the same.
You'll find everything you need to cook up a Malaysian fare from this market.
