I wandered under Market City and into Paddy’s Markets. First, there were the bric-a-brac stalls. I liked this selection of hats. The Panama hat is cool again, it seems.

I was more attracted to the food stalls. This spice stall sold all kinds of goodies.

But most fascinating of all was the fruit and veg section. These days it’s dominated by Asian families.

Fruit and veg businesses are known for their long hours, but even though I passed by in the afternoon these ladies were still fast and efficient.
