Geylang Serai

Very clean and well kept buildings, with frequent activities during festivals and events organised by grassroots as well as other organisations. Do come down to enjoy the beautiful lights during the Raya celebrations!

When I went there for the first time, my friend said that it was a bit chaotic there and it was best to go there during the day and come back early at night. However, there were a lot of delicious food there and it was nice to order some snacks to get to know the local cuisine.

This is where the Malays are most concentrated, but it seems that there are other South Asian ethnic groups living here. The area is very large, with local delicacies, special handicrafts, daily necessities and even condiments.

If you like durian, you can go there. Actually, the locals recommended another place to us, but because our hotel is close to here, we ate here. The shops are all competing for business, so you can bargain hard. We got 15 SGD down to 10 SGD, and you can try other fruits for free. If the mangosteen you bought is broken, you can exchange it immediately because you can eat it at the fruit stall before leaving. The Musang King I ate was a bit bitter, I don't know if it is authentic.

Geylang Serai is where local Malays gather. Since the Malays are Muslims, all the products sold in the shopping malls here are halal. Wandering here, watching the halal food sold by the small restaurants is very unique

Geylang Serai has become a gathering place for Malays in Singapore since the British colonial government relocated Malays and indigenous peoples from the mouth of the Singapore River to Geylang in the early years of its establishment. Today, it has become a good place for tourists to check in.   Pasar, from Persian, is the name for large markets in all Arab cultural regions. Singapore has inherited the traditional culture of Malaysia. Many of the supplies and place names here are Malay transliterations. Pasar, which has existed since ancient times and is closely related to the lives of the people, must be very localized, so the wet market here is not called a wet market, but a wet market.   Geylang Serai Pasar has two floors. The first floor is a market selling local products, and the second floor is a food center. Most of the food stalls here supply Malay and Indian food, such as sour and spicy stingray, chicken turmeric rice, Indian flatbreads, etc. It is a must-visit place for cultural and food lovers.   The distinctive Malay fried rice is sour, spicy and delicious, and the price is cheap, you can eat it for 2-3 Singapore dollars. The noodles in the Malay chicken noodle soup are chewy and have a lemongrass flavor. There are also various Malaysian snacks, such as this sticky dumpling, which is a bit like Xiamen's glutinous rice cake and tastes good~ Most of the vendors here are Malaysians, and they don't speak Mandarin, so they can only speak English or use body language. This special neighborhood is worth experiencing.

The food street and the internationally famous legal red-light district are very lively at night. Some of the streets are quite down-to-earth, with many Indians and Pakistanis. Look at the old houses, eat special snacks, and durian. Singapore's red-light district is legal in Singapore. Friends may wish to go and see them standing on the street after nightfall. It is a unique experience.

The annual Eid al-Fitr market in Nha Trang is held from May 3 to June 5. More than 500 stalls offer traditional and modern items, including food, clothing, traditional goods, and modern accessories. The market attracts a large number of people every year. This year, more than half of the local residents who came to visit the market were Chinese, and tourists came from all over the world. In addition to shopping and eating traditional Malay food, everyone also enjoys lantern viewing and taking photos Like many locals, I come here every year for Malay food
