Suntec City - Travel Fair

Singaporeans love to travel. Travel Fair is always crowded with people.

These people are booking for tours for the year end holidays.

This is just one of the in house travel fair organised by this travel agent. End of August, there will be a major travel fair where all the travel agents will participate and the crowd will be even bigger.

I normally will just get brochures only to see what travel offers they have. I will then check the prices and enquire about the tour in their travel office rather than queue at travel fair. I hate long queues and I normally dont book my travel so many months ahead. I always book only few weeks before for my travel. If it is a nearby country, I will book just a few days before hand.

Youth Olympic Games

Sky Watch - City Plaza

Near the Geylang Serai Market, is this very old building called City Plaza. I remembered I used to visit the shopping centre when I was a teenager. Now the shopping centre is very old and not many people visit this mall except Sunday.

The colour of the building really make it stand out of all the buildings in that area.

I went into the mall but it is so different from during its hey day. Gone are all the nice boutique that I used to purchase my clothings from. Some of the clothings in there now are for wholesale and mass produced.

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.
