Geylang Serai Wet Market
Trundle out to Paya Lebar MRT station, from where it’s a short walk along Sims Ave to the temporary home of Geylang Serai Wet Market. The original market across the street is getting a facelift and has already missed its 2008 reopening deadline. Expect a crowded, traditional Asian wet market with meat hanging on hooks, baskets of sloshing fish, squirming frogs, slippery eels and people haggling over the produce. Watch your step!
