First dibs: We visited the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar, with 700 stalls, from 17 Mar

The Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is right here at Wisma Geylang Serai! With 700 stalls to see, it will be a disgrace to overlook it beginning 17 Mar 2023.

The Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is scheduled to be working for 36 days, till 22 Apr 2023. Many of the stalls had been nonetheless mid-preparation once we arrived on its first day, however no sweat for you although, as there’ll positively be extra to return because the bazaar will likely be in full swing quickly!

I personally beloved the best way the Cheesy Rosti with Chicken Sausage (S$13) sat within the container completely, and the flavour of this was immaculate. The notes of pepper and rosemary had been robust, giving factors for superb seasoning. I beloved the way it had a crispy chew and was not just like the flimsy rostis I had prior to now.

The Thai Grape Milk Tea (S$3 for 700ml, S$4 for 1 litre, S$5 in bottle) from Ah Moi Thai Tea tasted as if grape-flavoured Hi-Chew sweet and Yakult had been mixed right into a drink, having a slight milky style. Due to its sweetness, the drink appeared to make me thirstier although, and wasn’t the thirst-quencher I used to be on the lookout for.

Sofnade promoting XL Chendol (S$5)? Say no extra! The gula melaka flavour, together with the condensed milk, was not dulled down, making us utter the phrase “shiok” from our lips earlier than we knew it! The little inexperienced jellies had a terrific chew, which additionally gave a contrasted texture to the icy deal with. Those who’re beginning to really feel the sweltering warmth, that is certain to be good.

As for Three Missy‘s Cheesy Beef Tahu Bergedil (S$8), it was an actual texture bomb. Freshly deep-fried, that crispy batter crunch paired properly with the tender beef and gentle potatoes, making us purely content material. The spicy chilli sauce given reminded us of the black Indonesian chilli accompanying ayam penyet. This gave the bergedil a brilliant fiery kick that might enchantment to those that savour spicy flavours!

Multiple seating areas had been scattered throughout in order to cater to the anticipated crowd, and above Alley and Sofnade was one such seating space for us to take pleasure in our newly bought meals. The use of picket planks as tables made the place really feel tremendous rustic, giving the world such a chill vibe.

I must say that it was slightly stuffy, since there was no air flow, so that you may need to come ready with moveable followers.

Look at Rainbow Work‘s cute Japan Banana (S$6.90), which is a banana-shaped pancake! Said to be a preferred selection in Japan, we clearly can see why. The fluffy inside complemented the crispy bread-like exterior very well, giving it a tremendous textural distinction.

Customised objects have all the time been within the rage, since individuals beloved how personalised it may be. This stall supplied many patches to select from.

From Tote Bags (S$15) to even Mini Pouches (S$7), this is able to make such a considerate reward. This stall uncle clearly knew his market, seeing as how my colleagues (Gillian and Rachel) had been frantically selecting which iron-on patches would match their new tote bag finest.

There had been even carnival video games and a stay band as effectively! Although the stay band was not taking part in simply but, I imagine they might add to the hype of the bazaar, including a candy rhythm while you go to the stalls. The carnival video games could be superb for the little ones!

It could be a real disgrace to overlook out such a bazaar. With a lot meals to eat and retailers to see, it will be protected to convey an additional bag and some additional mouths to get the total expertise. And for our Malay readers, joyful Ramadan!
