Greener place to shop for greens


The sidewalk is made cooler with the addition of a shady roof structure with plants at the Chowrasta Market in Penang Road.

HAILED as one of the oldest markets in Malaysia with its history dating back to the 1890s, Chowrasta Market in Penang today is as modern as any market you could find.

Originally a single-storey building, the present market is now divided into two floors selling fresh meat and vegetables on the first floor. The floor above are clothing, shoes and second-hand book stores.
