Ang Mo Kio 628 Pasar

It has been quite some time since I last visited a wet market ("Pasar" in Malay language). There are several markets in the neighbourhood. I joined my family this morning, we went to the market at Ang Mo Kio Block 628.

This is a temporary market. The actual market was down due to fire few months ago. The entire building was burnt down. For the time being, the stall owners are putting up at site nearby.

You can buy seafood, poultry, fruits, cooked food, dried goods in a Pasar.

Now, how do you know if a fish is fresh? The gills have to be sticky sticky, the eyes have to be bright, body colour has to be shiny.. Thats what Bulb mentioned. :)

Everyone always look busy in a Pasar. I noticed housewives do not bargain nowadays, unlike few years back.

Fresh seafood for steamboat tonight?

Toufu and fish balls to add to the soup.

Fish head and prawns will make the soup yummy.

The fish at this stall looks fresh and good.

Now.. where is Bulb?

This man is skillful with his knife.

Big eggs, medium eggs and small eggs... too many sizes to choose from...

All smiles... business must be good because of the coming Chinese New Year.

The granny, with her grandchildren, sells dried goods.

This uncle seems popular with the aunties.

We are done with the shopping, we are going for breakfast now. If you are new to Singapore, I encourage you to visit one of the Pasars in the morning. It can be a fun and different experience.
