It's a bright sunny morning as I head towards the Old Spitafields Market at the East End of London located near Liverpool Street station and Brick Lane.
Looking at the trendy Commercial Street today, it is hard to imagine that way back in the 1800 it was an urban slums area filled with poverty and dilapidated low houses with dark alleys.
The Old Spitafields Market is a very unique indoor market place that sells lots of bargain stuff. One can spent a whole lots of time just browsing through these little stalls. Along side these bargains are lifestyle bars, coffee shop and restaurant.
The UpMarket's is also famous for its cottage-industry style food caterers that creates and sells home-to-market food from all over the world - Ethiopian hand-roased coffee, Turkish specialities, Spanish Paellas, Japanese Sushi, Malaysian Satay, Thai food and many more..
The smells can be so over powering as you enter this indoor food market that are packed with individual food stalls. It's somewhat similar to our hawker stalls in Malaysia but in a confined indoor area unlike our outdoor night market or 'Pasar Malam'.
The food is good depending on if you are adventurous enough to try them. I did and loved it!
