Kedai Runcit Maniam

Tucked among other food stalls in the TTDI wet market, Kedai Runcit Maniam has been peddling a variety of cooking staples and dry goods for more than 30 years. But owner Maniam learned the trade way before that – he used to help his father tend a store at Central Market before running his own sundry shop in TTDI. Kedai Runcit Maniam is a treasure trove of Indian cooking ingredients – think ghee, curry spices, lentils, and batter mix for snacks like vadai.
