Beste tid å besøke
Weekday mornings from 9:30am to 11:30am hit the sweet spot, when the market is liveliest and curry queues are short. Evening visits from 6pm bring the rojak and halo-halo rush, so go early to grab a fan-cooled table.
Budsjettips
Most cooked meals run between SGD 4 and 8, and the fish head curry is priced per head so sharing keeps it cheap. Carry cash for the older stalls and save on drinks by buying fresh coconut water from the fruit sellers downstairs.

Om
Raske fakta: For en krydret smak av byens indisk-muslimske strøk på et lokalt budsjett, stables det toetasjes senteret en fungerende våtmark direkte under et nivå med tilberedt mat. Handelsmenn sleper inn levende fisk og jutesekker med chili hver morgen, mens wokene ovenpå produserer curry, rojak og biryani under stabler av klirrende tallerkener.
Høydepunkter: Fiskehodecurryen her småkoker på bestilling i en sur tomatsaus med tamarind, med hele hodet, gjellene inkludert, servert under okra og aubergine. Bestill fåresuppen, og kokken river en nevestor deigklump av flagete brød rett fra et flere tiår gammelt tinnfat og dypper en bit i buljongen foran øynene dine.
Insidertips
- Carry cash, several older stalls still reject cards and QR payments.
- Grab a perimeter table under the ceiling fans, the centre aisles turn sauna-hot by 11:30am.
- Queue for curry before 12:15pm on weekdays, office lunch crowds arrive right after.
- Buy fish downstairs and the wet market vendors will gut and scale it on the spot for a small fee.
