yes i always go to public market,in fact i don't like noise,but in the wet market,it's different.I enjoy a lot,especially when asking discounts to vendors..i like there than in malls because vegetables and fishes are cheaper and fresh.

I agree with you. The wise buyer will go for the cheeper and yet fresher foods eventhough the place is not that convenient.

i used to go to a public market a lot of times before together wid my aunt or even with my mother. the place is kinda messy but the price is much lower compared to the prices you find in the supermarket. so no wonder people always prefer to buy their food there especially if they are saving money...

That is true, that is why, there are lot of people who prefer to buy at the public market than the groceries and supermarkets because they want to save some money.

yes, i usually go to public market to buy fish and meat. I guess i already got used to the place that i developed great tolerance to the odd smell whether it comes from the fish or meat or the people around. Anyways, I havent encountered a nice smelling fish selling area. Even in big grocery stores, fish section still has this stinky smell. I like buying fish in the public market because there is always a great chance that the fish is fresh. Also, you can always haggle among the vendors there, so you can buy your fish and meat much cheaper than in supermarkets which usually has fixed price.

I went public market but never purchased fish or meat. I am pure vergetarian. I negotiated some times with vendors.
