It's in the newly opened and revitalized Central market which dates back to 1939 and is the fourth incarnation of Central Market. The building was highly regarded at the time for its simplistic, avant-garde and functional style, and has since been upheld ...

Oh! Thanks a lot for the information, Fernando!

Wonder whats inside that tin box in the first photo. A cool series.i like those paddles that i assume gives rice type/price info?

They look like kerosine tins and the paddles would indicate type of rice & price as per your assumption. Thanks!
