Geylang Serai Market - Food Centre and Shops

On the second storey of the market is the food centre and other shops selling clothes and other household products.

There were so many people in the market and food centre, it was so difficult to capture a shot without people in the background.

When I was there, I had to wait for sometime for a seat to have my lunch.

Clothings,shoes and other household products are so much cheaper in here than in the malls.
Also a great place just to browse around.

Geylang Serai Market - Wet Market

It was so crowded in the market. Everyone busy stocking up food for the week ahead. The first thing I noticed when I step into the market was the fragrant smell of the spices.

There are so many different types of spices available over here. Nowadays when I cooked my curry chicken, I dont have to grind all the different types of ingredients and spices, I just get the spices from the market.
The best thing about market is that you can get recipes from the stall holder. All you have to do was to let the stall holder know if you intended to cook curry chicken or curry fish or curry vegetables and she will get the right type of spices for you and a few tips on how to cook too.

Fishes in this market are so much cheaper than those in heartland.



This stall is selling all the dry goods and take note of the coconut grinding machine in the background.

Stall selling beef, mutton, etc. No pork in this market cause majority of the customers are muslims. This market sell mainly halal food.


This market has so many stalls selling different types of food.



The new market is very spacious and big and the floor is not wet anymore.
Tomorrow I will post the food centre that is located above this market and the food is yummy.

My World Tuesday - Geylang Serai Market

Last weekend, hubby and me went to Geylang Serai Market. This market has been rebuilt.
The old market was small, dark, wet and smelly. But when I visited the new market, it was very big, bright and spacious.

The market sold mainly halal food and there's a lot of varieties of malay food and spices too. On the ground floor is the market while on the second floor is the food centre.

The design of the market was built to resemble the malay villages. Geylang Serai used to be a malay village.


Beside food, the market also sold curtains, cloth, clothes, household stuff, etc.



Taxi stand outside the market. After marketing, many would take taxi back, as some of them dont stay nearby but come here because of the halal food,being the only market in Singapore that sell mainly halal food.
You have to return tomorrow to view the photos of the market and the food centre.
