Insider Travel Tips
- Arrive by 8:00 AM. Many top-rated seafood stalls close by 1:00 PM or when they run out of stock.
- Bring cash! Most street food vendors do not accept credit cards or IC cards.
- Follow the market rule: eat your food at the vendor's stall rather than walking through the crowds with skewers.
