HK - Temple Street 庙街

Due to curiosity, me and my colleague Rebecca decided to go Temple street (庙街) for a night market experience.

Took MTR to Jordan station, take Exit A. After out from the exit, turn right, walk straight across 2 roads, we saw Temple street on our right hand side.

Basically, it is another "Pasar Malam" of Malaysia. Night market that sells various "cheap" stuffs. For me, it is not cheap. A pirated DVD cost HKD 20, is it cheap?

We reached the end of the street and it is a bit disappointing as it is really short and we never see any fortune tellers (what the place is famous for). By luck, we saw the "extension" of the Temple street, where the fortune tellers are. We did not try and just passed by. We also see some old performers who sing at the road side, no interesting.

Finally, decided to leave. Excluding the fortune tellers, I think Malaysia has much more 庙街 (Pasar Malam) than Hong Kong.
