A
good way to get to know a Malaysian town is to visit its markets, the
economic centre of the community. Siti Khadijah Market is named after
Prophet Muhammad's entrepreneurial wife. A fitting name for a market
mostly run by women.
This market has something for everyone, from
fresh produce to traditional crafts and cakes. It is also a slice of
life in Kelantan, abuzz with colour, scents and sounds of the local
community.
