Whether you're down Geylang Serai for a bit of grocery shopping at its massive wet market, making a pit stop at Haig Road Market for a bite or two is an absolute must. Just a walk away from Geylang Serai Market, the hawker centre is the largest in the area, and boasts a plethora of stalls offering menus ranging from Indian, Malay and Chinese fare to Western delights and fusion food.
TRY: Satisfy your sweet tooth at Traditional Haig Road Putu Piring where the stall is popular for its gula Melaka-filled steamed rice flour cakes topped with grated coconut. For a taste of Malaysia, hit up Lin Yu Mei Sarawak Laksa & Kolo Mee. It's $4 for a bowl of kolo mee here, and it's served with a generous amount of egg noodles, minced pork and sliced char siew. But if you're looking for a way cheaper option, HJ Waliti HJ Mazuki's flavoursome mee rebus and aromatic mee soto simply cost $2.50!
