CHINATOWN MARKET
View of wet market along Sago Street in Chinatown from five-foot-way outside shop selling the sweet and sticky "nian gao" or Chinese new year cake (in circular containers held by elderly woman on the right). Since this dessert used to be sold only during the Chinese or Lunar New Year season, this photo would have been taken between January and February that year. Diagonally opposite is the famous Tai Chong Kok Chinese confectionery.
