The street itself would be a little bit overwhelming for the first-timer. There are a lot of vehicles and Taxi Drivers crowding the area. While walking around the street market, there are plenty of massage parlor, night clubs, prostitution, and brothels. After enjoying a fun night, they will come to the street food market to fulfill their hungry stomach here. No wonder that the later the night, the more vibrant the street is.

There are a lot of tables and chairs placed in the street as a place to eat. You can also smell different aromas every time you walked past different hawkers and restaurants. The sounds of people cooking with their utensils and people talking with their peers. As we enjoy the vibrant street, let’s try the eateries.
