Spending Sunday mornings trying to avoid getting splashed by fishy bits is my idea of fun.
Remember back in the day when live chickens were available at wet markets? I vividly recall how they were picked from their cages, given the slit at the throat, plucked of it’s feathers and chopped up for all to see.
This just gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘fresh’.
Anyhow, that has not deterred me from visiting my favorite wet market every Sunday morning.
Look at the selection of colourful vegetables in so many different shapes and sizes.
Yong Tau Foo, so beautifully arranged….and tasty too….yum yum 
Ahhh….the stall I frequent to get my weekly bunch of fresh flowers for the house.
This market is conveniently located in the heart of Marine Parade at Block 50A Marine Terrace, opposite CHIJ Katong Convent and Ngee Ann Primary School.
Also the hawker food centre adjacent to the market serves my favorite breakfast porridge among other yummies……but that will be another story
If you happen to be in the area, do check it out !
Loves the outdoors, food and anything with old-world charm.....
Our family goes to wet market on Sundays too.
Comparing between wet market’s yong tau foo and those in NTUC, I will prefer wet market’s fresher and more tasty selection
Oh I agree, you can see them making it at the stalls and their handmade fish balls are really springy and fresh too!
Heh, I’m not the wet market kind of gal
Somehow never quite learnt to poke, prod and pick good bargains. But agree with the freshness of the produce sold in the wet markets. Just that opening hours are not exactly suited for work hours these days.
I too prefer the food sold at wet markets but I never really like the smell and wetness of the wet market. Remembered that as a kid, I hate getting my feet wet in my slippers while trying to walk around the wet market with my parents.
