Central Market (1938- )
Greetings. It was either 1949 or 1950 when I first set foot in this market with my mother and her sister. Auntie bought me a cooked chicken drumstick. Can't remember how it tasted except that I was the only person munching away. Vegetable, seafood, live animal and bird stands made up the bulk of the market, and very few stands were selling cooked meats. Regards, Peter
