If you want to come by Manila’s metro, the station to get off at is Quezon Avenue. From there, it’s a short walk behind Centris Station Mall.
If you’ve been to Bangkok, you would have seen many such public markets where stalls are set up selling kinds of foods alongside clothes and other goods. Well, Sidcor Local Sunday Market is similar but on a smaller scale.
