I’m nearly liable to sounding like a damaged tape recorder, however there’s yet one more pasar malam, this time situated at Tampines‘ Giant Hypermarket Carpark from 19 Nov to 4 Dec 2022. This will be the first pasar malam ever done at Giant Hypermarket’s carpark.
Unlike most pasar malam that normally operates (no less than most stalls) round 12pm onwards, Tampines’ Giant Hypermarket Pasar Malam will solely be open from 5.30pm to 10.30pm.
Its poster guarantees over 20 native meals stalls, out of doors meals truck eating, native artisanal crafts, UFO catchers and carnival video games. Unfortunately, the truth was barely disappointing as I counted at most 10 stalls and no meals truck. There was out of doors eating, however the seats had been very restricted and I couldn’t discover any native artisanal crafts.
Hopefully, they’re saving their greatest for the weekend crowd!
One of the extra distinctive stalls obtainable was Meat My Meat. They promote American-inspired sandwiches comparable to Philly Cheesesteak (S$9.90), Buffalo Cheesesteak Hotdog (S$10.90), Mozza Philly Cheeseteak (S$10.90), Mozza Buffalo Cheesesteak Hotdog (S$11.90) and 2mm Slice Ribeye Cheesesteak (S$15).
Savoury Thai Skewers has Thai Fishcake, Thai Gai-Ping (Grilled Skewered Chicken), Thai Moo-Ping (Grilled Skewered Pork) and Thai Meat Balls (Beef/Pork) all going for S$2 per piece or S$5 for any 3.
For much more grilled items, B.A.M has obtained you coated with acquainted meals which can be hardly ever obtainable at a pasar malam. For starters, B.A.M has satay with flavours comparable to Chicken, Mutton, Tripe and Beef at S$0.90 per stick (minimal 5 stick).
I needed to attempt the Chicken Feet coated in Sweet Chilli BBQ (S$4) but it surely wasn’t obtainable so I opted for the Ayam Percik with Sweet Chilli BBQ (S$3.50/S$10).
Ayam Percik has been sort of forgotten within the pasar malam scene and I used to be desperate to attempt it. Unfortunately, I didn’t just like the sauce overlaying it. It tasted like concentrated asam pedas paste and the hen was overcooked. Definitely wasn’t definitely worth the S$3.50 I paid.
Coming from the identical stall was the Corn Dog (S$2.50). It wasn’t fried freshly and tasted as so. The hotdog inside didn’t even cowl the size of the breading. I might style some cheese that has lengthy been hardened. Again, not the most effective buy.
Perhaps a greater choice to overview was the Taiwan Crispy Chicken that has Chicken Chop (S$6), Honey Chicken Chop (S$5.50), Salted Crispy Chicken (S$5), Sesame Crispy Chicken (S$5), Fried King Oyster Mushroom (S$4), Fried Sour Plum Sweet Potato (S$4) and Tempura (S$4).
You’ll be spoilt for alternative!
Normally I might undergo the drink choices however you’ve in all probability have a good suggestion of what to anticipate by now. Supreme sells Thai Milk Tea (S$3/S$4), Corn Tea (S$3/S$4) and Green Tea (S$3/S$4).
I might counsel going to the Giant Hypermarket just some steps from the pasar malam to get a drink there as an alternative. Maybe even take a break from the warmth and crowd.
Overall, I’d advocate solely visiting for those who keep across the space. If not, you’re higher off going to the close by pasar malam that can more than likely be method larger than this.
