Make for Dutton Plaza, and it’s a chance to stock up. Among the mint and perilla bunches at Always Greener, you’ll spy harder-to-find ngo om, or rice paddy herb, as well as sawtooth coriander and green mangoes galore.

The Premium Meat Market is the place for pork belly, beef flank and all manner of offal, from tendon to honeycomb tripe.

Viet Hoa Fish Market, meanwhile, stocks fresh school prawns and live pipis, among a wide range of flat and round fish.
