A wide variety of merchandises can be found in Temple Street Night Market. Imitations of branded goods are the all-time favorites among the locals and tourists. You may find souvenirs, antiques and rare collectables in market as well.

However, you must take extra precautions to your bags and valuables as the walking paths tend to be quite narrow and it is a great chance for the pickpockets especially when there are many people squeezing past each other all the time. The best way to watch out for your valuables are to put them in front of you rather than carrying on your back.

Other than merchandises, you can find lots of stalls at the sides of the street selling local snacks, pastries to seafood and freshly cooked food. These stalls are known as the Dai Pai Dong; it means foods stalls lined up along the street.
