Little Saigon Market is a foodies delight. Here you will find lots and lots of goods for cheap prices. Little Saigon Market has been around for years now.
On Saturdays when I go with my family at 3pm it is always full of people buying lots of stuff. Here you can buy the best egg tarts for $1.50. There is also $3.50 meals in takeaway boxes to be had.
Here I had those $1.70 fried sesame balls as well as $3.50 buns and $2 sponge cakes at the roast duck shop. My family and I sometimes get our meat from there as they are yummy.
And then there are the weird and wonderful Vietnamese delights around the market. Some of which I don't know the name of. There are these green spongey cakes for $3.50. A bunch of pak and bak choy is around $3.50-$4.
Want to buy some fruits? You get to try them before you buy them just like the other market. And right now apples are in season. They also have new season's mangoes out for you to try and buy. Also there are papayas (paw paw which are green and orange).
Last but not least there is live seafood. A small spanner crab is $17. Also I spotted some real live eel as well.
