By definition, a street market has temporary hawker stalls. Chun Yueng Street has such, mostly selling clothing and household items. But the permanent stores have extended their shop space onto the street, so you'll see trays and baskets of vegetables, fish, and maybe even piles of chicken feet out and about, waiting to be grabbed. Besides, there're also a number of butcher shops, with the fresh meat prominently displayed at the storefront and the butcher and his cleaver standing and chopping to order.
