Lonely Planet review

This neighbourhood institution (operating on this site since 1864) sells everything from carpets to bok choy (Chinese greens). A teeny window on Cecil St doles out the city's best dim sims (be prepared to queue). The market's labyrinthine interior is packed to overflowing with an eccentric collection of stalls. Turn a corner and you could find organic wine, a hairdresser, a masseuse or a novelty singing trout. The produce is excellent, the pace is leisurely and the surrounding streets are conveniently dotted with decent cafés.
