There are also some food stalls nearby, selling dishes that have been renowned over the years such as the beef and rice noodles. Typically open from 7 am to 12 pm daily with high traffic in the morning due to the lorries coming in and locals eager to get their hands on the freshest goods.

In 2017, the market catches fire which is believed to be caused by an arsonist, and the government quickly responded by relocating them to the outer area. The market still remains a significant landmark and the place to go to get goods and groceries till this day.
