18 foods and drinks stalls, durians, fruits that aren’t the king of fruits, claw machines… and teak furnishings units price tens of hundreds of {dollars} every. The Kallang pasar malam at Kallang MRT station will not be the largest however there appears to be one thing for everybody. It runs from 3 Feb to 19 Feb 2023.
The incessant drizzle has been a little bit of a dampener however there was nonetheless fairly a crowd once I made my manner down on Day 2, Saturday. Showing that they perceive Singaporeans very properly, the organisers have given the 16 meals and a pair of drinks distributors premium road-facing stalls.
I wasn’t shocked to see pasar malam stalwarts Mr. Vadai, Super Ramly Burger and Ah Moi Thai Tea right here. Each has its customary vary of meals and drinks on the market and all entice a decent crowd that is aware of and loves the acquainted tastes.
First to persuade me to open my pockets, although, was Twist Potato. The skinny Christmas tree-like Twist Potato (1 for S$3, 2 for $5) is gorgeous even within the Plain model I bought. As you may see from the picture, the woman was very completely happy handy it over to me.
They even have Mala, Salted Egg, Truffle, Seaweed, Cheese and BBQ flavours.
The similar stall sells Fried Oreo (S$2.50) in 4 flavours— Chocolate Syrup, Caster Sugar, Condensed Milk and Plain. These scrumptious little delights are finest eaten immediately— the batter needs to be as crispy as doable so that you can get the complete blast of decadence. I used to be secure in that regard— consuming scrumptious snacks too gradual isn’t an issue I’ve ever confronted earlier than.
I headed to the Takoyaki stall subsequent. Those ball-shaped receptacles of deliciousness are nice however I needed to attempt their Okonomi Japanese Pizza (S$3.50). I opted for the Chicken Ham flavour. Sadly, it turned out to be a bit underwhelming. It’s a pity as a result of the serving to wasn’t small and they’re beneficiant with the sauces.
Come to think about it, perhaps it was the flood of sauce that was the problem. Remember to ask for simply how a lot you want.
My subsequent cease was Siam Thailand Food, the stall that had the longest queue. Their Thai Basil Chicken with Rice (S$6) is an efficient selection! The ample serving of rooster and greens, a scrumptious egg and a few fairly potent chilli made my day.
Even higher, I additionally bought the Skewers (3 for $5) in Honey Chicken, Herb Chicken and Chicken Sausage. If I bought a do-over, I’d get 3 Honey Chicken skewers as a substitute.
The Original Pisang Keju has a stall, too. Here, atypical goreng pisang (banana fritters) are made into their finest selves with an Indonesian-inspired addition of chocolate, cheese or condensed milk. It’s Singapore’s “No.1 Crunchy Pisang Keju” in keeping with the signboard. I don’t assume the sector’s very crowded in order that they’re most likely proper.
Later, I made my manner down to take a look at the gorgeous teak furnishings. This set seems to be prefer it belongs within the Flintstones cave.
There is a complete tent of homeware, a cell phone case retailer and even this little claw machine nook.
Fun as these could also be, my favorite a part of the Kallang pasar malam is undoubtedly the meals. Just do not forget that it’s been raining all of this week so the benches and tables will likely be moist— takeaway could be the solution to go for now.
