9394 : Since day one this market is call Imbi Market la but DBKL named it Bukit
BinatangBintang.Actually this market original located at Lot 10 shooping Mall, and shifted here during the 70's.
Fun Cheong: Wa ! I notice a lot drivers waiting for their lady boss, somemore notice got Kwei Lo come here too
9394: Hear people says many rich people do thier market shopping here, some come from bangsar, damansara. That why here the price a bit expensive than other markets. Later you notice a lot of Si-la enjoying their cup of coffee, can also over hear when & wear they just brought a $2,000 hand bag.
