Perth Trip Day 6: Freemantle Market
The market looked less bustling compared to the last time I was there in September 2015 before we could even fathom covid. There was just one busker compared to the dozens I saw 7 years ago. Didn’t see Levi himself … Continue reading
Carrot Cake Craving (Bedok Market)
Bedok market is now a tad confusing to get to. The car park has disappeared and it’s now behind the new Bedok Mall which is still under construction and linked to Bedok MRT. We went there to satisfy our carrot … Continue reading
New Love for Pasarbella
What an absolute treat it was to visit Pasarbella, the upscale farmer’s market at Turf City (now called Grandstand), at an off peak hour. So peaceful and serene, I yearn to return. An extreme contrast to my very first visit … Continue reading

Pasarbella
Checked out Pasarbella at Turf City (now called The Grand Stand) which is turning out to be the place for dining rather than just used cars. The only thing local about it is the name pasar (which means market in … Continue reading

Allauddin’s Briyani at Tekka
After such a heavy post I thought I’d break the mood by posting about unhealthy but yummy food. What can beat briyani and Teh Alia (tea not pictured because it was so good I forgot). The chicken fell off the … Continue reading
A Bit About the History of Tekka Market
Hope you read about one of our oldest markets at White as Milk. I have to confess that as a child I didn’t like coming here as the fresh meat and fish used to stink so bad. I used to … Continue reading

Best Briyani: Yakader at Tekka
Headed to Tekka for my favourite Chicken Dum Briyani. Noticed that the stall must be doing well. They have changed their signboard and I noticed. Had the usual teh alia (ginger milk tea) but this time from another stall called … Continue reading
CNY 2012: Chinatown Ushers in the Year of the Dragon
If you’re intending to decorate your house for CNY, the Chinatown bazaar seems to have the lowest prices. But I guess for something unique you could go to the other countries in Asia where the festival is celebrated as well, … Continue reading

Helsinki: Market Hall
Another must see is the lovely indoor market. It’s by the harbour and just beside market square where the open air make-shift type market was. Everything in one convenient location. And the best part was, it was walking distance from … Continue reading

Helsinki: Open Air Market by the Harbour
You must check out the open air market at the Harbour. I just loved the seagulls that glided in the hair squawking. They hovered, ready to swoop up some scraps. It’s a wonderful area for photos with the Uspenski Russian … Continue reading

Helsinki: The Food I Didn’t Like
I’ll do another entry on the food I liked but mostly the trip made me appreciate the food we have back home which is way cheaper and more suited to my taste buds. Guess I am not very adventurous when … Continue reading
Gamla Stan: Quaint Old Town in Stockholm
Another of my favourite places in Stockholm was Gamla Stan which means Old Town. It was just a subway ride away from our hotel so it was the very first area we explored and also said to be a must … Continue reading
Serangoon Garden Market: Best Satay & Mee Soto in Singapore
I have tried the satay at Glutton’s Bay, the East Coast Market, Lau Pa Sat and at many other places, but I think the one at Serangoon Garden Market beats them all. This stall used to be the famous one … Continue reading

Ikea’s Swedish Market
I find the products here quite appealing. I need to appreciate Salmon more. The crepe looks so good. Very pretty packaging.

Cameras and Orchids at Holland Village Market
Very cool vintage camera store here. Loving the polaroids. The windmill at Holland V (that’s what we’ve been calling this area, since we were in school) is iconic. I wish that the whole area would be paved up and closed … Continue reading

My Favourite Nasi Briyani: Yakader
So far this is my absolute top choice for briyani. A hot and stuffy area at Tekka Market in Little India. It’s totally worth enduring the heat. Most people go for the famous Alauddin, but I prefer Yakader. The rice … Continue reading
Malay Cuisine at Geylang Serai Market
Have been hankering for Malay style Mee Goreng. Not Indian style with loads of egg and colouring or Chinese style which has seafood and loads of ingredients, but the original mee goreng that I used to get in school. Simple … Continue reading

Kuromon Ichiba: Fresh Produce at Osaka Market
If you visit Osaka you must take a look at the market called Kuromon Ichiba at Nippombashi. You will be blown away at how pretty the fresh produce looks. The most amazing looking Japanese grapes which were selling at a … Continue reading
Singapore’s Odd and Gross Signs and Posters
Saw this at the Chinatown Market. I am a little puzzled at the picture at the very top. I figured that it means no pets and that includes dogs, cats (looks more like a pig to me) and birds? No … Continue reading

Chocolat N’ Spice Muffins at Shunfu
If you’re at Shunfu market, I feel I should tell you that only the Char Kway Teow and the muffins are worth the trip. Even if I had the most iron willpower I wouldn’t be able to resist the double … Continue reading
