Petak Sembilan Market
1 saveRecommendation by Lemi
Chinese locals visit Petak Sembilan Market for all their New Year needs. The market is famous for the range of holiday essentials, particularly kue keranjang (Indonesian term for nian gao). Here, you’ll encounter various flavors of kue keranjang from different regions in Indonesia. Try to get your hands on the cakes from Tangerang which often comes in banana leaf-lined containers. They have a shorter shelf life, but they taste so good that you’ll finish the whole box in no time!

Mercato Centrale (Firenze)
Most people bring clothes, shoes, bags, and fashion back from Italy. Dom and I bring back food. Shameless amounts of it. Truffles, dried pastas, olive oils and aged balsamic vinegar... and pack them in boxes 📦 and newspaper 🗞 courtesy of the hotel concierge. Overweight luggage is a real concern with all that balsamic vinegar and olive oils 😅 If you head over, go on an empty stomach. There’s plenty to eat, lots of little stalls, and your mouth will be kept pretty busy with the constant gobbling.
Stanley Market
One of the biggest outdoor markets in Hong Kong, Stanley Market is as much of a tourist attraction as it is a place to quench your hoarding habits. You can find almost anything here—from the essentials to the frivolous to the insane. (Triple-fused pentaminx 17x17x17 Rubik’s cubes, anyone?) Not everything is second-hand, but some items are recycled while some are handmade. The prices start off low, so there’s no need to play limbo. The area is a hotspot for pickpockets, though, so be careful!
Tongin Market
One of the city's longest-standing traditional markets. You can get a dosirak (lunchbox) then just fill it up with food from the different stalls, paid using old brass coins. Everything was delicious.
