Midnight at Karwan Bazaar

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the night scenario at Karwan Bazaar? Definitely not the sound of trinkets or the whiff of freshly-baked pizzas! It's a frenzied scene as a full-pitched bazaar flows by with smiles and sighs. Despite an almost unbeatable array of fresh local produce at the supermarkets, the wet markets start to look increasingly lacklustre next to their competitors, the polished supermarket aisles stocked with enticingly packaged goods.
