Where to find Ramadan bazaars in Singapore
1. Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar
17 March – 21 April
When we think of Ramadan festivities, we always think about Geylang Serai. Besides being a bustling traditional wet market, it’s a social hub that’s steeped in history. Fun fact: Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar is the biggest in Singapore! So you can expect a lively crowd during the Hari Raya period. Expect 700 stalls operating all the way till 21 April. The event is split into two areas – Souq City and Street Bazaar.
Start yourself off in Souq City with an abundance of food and drinks. Some highlights to look out for? The Kakak Chicken x Big Big Fries stall for crispy fried chicken and XXL fries covered in sauce. For seafood lovers, grab some sashimi-grade oysters and jumbo scallops grilled to perfection. Wash it all down with the 3-litre chendol bucket or a coconut shake. Then walk off the meal with a stroll through the Street Bazaar. Don’t miss the interactive art installations and a live spray painting sesh by local artist Slac Satu.
