Christina at the Tasting Table was a wealth of knowledge and a breath of fresh air when it came to anything cheese related. We thoroughly enjoyed the Classic Experience! We will definitely be back for more cheese and wonderful experiences. 10/10 and highly recommended!

An eclectic mix of fruit and veg, fresh seafood, clothes stalls, tourist knick knacks, phone shops, cafes and dining, all in what seems like a massive warehouse. There was even massage beds and a live rock band belting out. A lot of it seems to cater for the Asian market but there is something for everyone here if you can negotiate the crowds and bear the noise.

A lovely and cozy place for a hearty meal! The ambience of the entire place creates an inviting atmosphere for patrons to linger for longer, and there's no shortage of food varieties to try. Prices tend to be higher though, but for the convenience it'd be worthwhile.

We had such a lovely shopping and dining experience. Escaped the rain and spent a good few hours enjoying the market and food market. My husband and son had the Lebanese street food. They Highly recommend it. My daughter had delicious fish and chips. I enjoyed the Pho. Desserts were equally yummy! Awesome spot for a drink very relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff.

The shop owner of the Cheese Table, Christina, is very nice and let us taste a wide range of cheese. The table setting is extremely elegant and we enjoyed hearty hospitality from her. We shared unlimited topics from food to children with her and have an unforgettable afternoon. We miss this place, food, wine and of course the home-like warm atmosphere there.
