Wet markets

[Milko]

Can any of you very helpful people in the forum please help me to find a Wet Market (Fresh meat and Vegetables) near the Bedok or Upper East Coast Area?

I have tried googling, asking directions and driving around but have not been able to locate one.

Thanks.

Those highlighted in Blue will be your closest bets. You can also find them usually close to small NTUC's located in the HDB housing estates themselves. They won't be a market per se, but a collection of mom & pop shops in normal shophouses in the housing estates themselves.

Was in a hurry and highlighted the wrong one. I meant to highlight the one in Geylang Serai.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Can't be perfect all the time I guess!

Thanks for your help.
I'll check it out on the weekend, if I can drag myself out of bed early enough.

Cheers.

When I lived on the East Coast, there were 2 wet markets I would visit. One was located about a block from the Tanah Merah MRT, walking back towards the city after you get off. If you take the bus, the next stop after the train station, get off and follow the crowd to the market. Not as big as others, but I could walk there from my condo and could get plenty of fruits and vegetables there. I was always worried about the meat and just how it was kept.

The other market in that area was located next to the Bedok bus terminal. There is a larger Fair Price there as well as other shops. I always got my flowers there.

You must go early in the morning to the wet markets, no later than 9. no sleep-in on market mornings! Good luck, it is an experience.

Probably Toa Payoh Central Market MRT Toa Payoh Mo - Sun 6.30 am - 12.00

As Matney noted, be sure to get the them around 7 am in the mornings otherwise all will be picked over and bruised with the local auntie's penchant of poking and squeezing everything and then taking the only one left that they didn't deliberately bruise. We always went down to Tekka ourselves (I used to live on Jln Merlimau about a three minute walk from the Novena Church)
