Air journey has roughly resumed again to pre-Covid19 occasions, and I’m positive a few of us have already made a visit to Bangkok to repair that journey itch. For those that’re nonetheless caught in Singapore, don’t fear. You can all the time go to the Chatuchak Night Market, which has formally opened to the general public and runs from 7 Feb to 2 Apr 2023 at The Grandstand South Carpark.
You could also be questioning what there’s to eat and store on the market— we’ve accomplished the groundwork for you by testing the place on the opening day!
The first stall that tickled my curiosity was Roti & Chachak by Kobkhun Satun. Besides promoting an assortment of roti like Eggs Roti (S$4) and Banana Roti (S$7), what gained us over was the tea-pulling efficiency by the seller.
He stretched each the metallic jugs to date aside that I used to be afraid the tea would spill, however I used to be mistaken— not even a drop was misplaced. Respect! He even spun in circles whereas pulling the tea, like a seasoned performer.
The Teh Tarik (S$5) was strong in flavour, fragrant and completely sweetened. It instantly cooled us down below the sweltering warmth of the afternoon solar.
We additionally tried the Thai Coconut Waffle stall. It had choices like Coconut Waffle (S$5) and Foi Thong Waffle (S$5) (orange coconut). We lastly settled for the Corn Coconut Waffle (S$5).
It was reduce up into smaller items for us— tremendous handy! The waffle was satisfyingly chewy with juicy corn kernels hiding inside, with a filling that nearly resembled nian gao. We beloved it!
It was time for savoury meals, and we noticed Wizard Family which sells dishes like Garlic Prawn with Rice (S$8) and Prawn Vermicelli Salad (S$15).
We ordered the Yum Mama Seafood (S$8), which was stir-fried Mama noodles with prawns, squid, crabstick and greens . I swear my colleagues’ (Gillian, Rachel and Joshua) faces lit up because the tangy and spicy flavours of the noodles had been tremendous shiok!
2 Ninja 1 Fat Pig sells grilled seafood like Ayutthaya Giant River Prawn in flavours like Original (S$10.90) and Cheese (S$12.90). We went for the Japanese Grilled Jumbo Scallops (S$10 for 3) as an alternative. We requested for a mixture of flavours (garlic butter and cheese). The meat was recent and plump, and it was topped with tobiko and seaweed.
We additionally received this Insta-worthy Bubblegum Thai 3 Layer Drink from Yum Cha.Sg. It seems fairly in footage, however the flavours had been a bit too synthetic.
Be positive to take a look at a Singaporean-based vendor known as Chonkymallows. We had been blown away by their loaded marshmallows like Birthday Cake and Smores (S$8 every). I need them at each pasar malam!
I additionally chanced upon Feel Good (run by an area couple) which sells perfume beads for laundry and diffusers utilizing plant-based substances.
You may discover different retail outlets promoting a great deal of unisex garments in addition to different equipment on the Chatuchak Night Market.
To finish off your market exploration in true Thai fashion, get a fuss-free therapeutic massage accomplished at Original Thai Massage. Gillian and I attempted the Shoulder Massage (S$15 for 10 minutes) and it actually transported me again to Bangkok!
