From Flea Market to Geylang – all in a day’s work
It was an eventful weekend. On Saturday, I took a trip to Orchard for a flea market, and then to Geylang for food. Here are the photos to prove it!
The Flea Market
My first stop was a flea market, “What the Flea”, happening at *scape. This place was crazy. There were at least 50 different stalls crammed into a dark and unventilated space under *scape. (Each of them paid $55, so that was something like $3,000 earnings for *scape, not including extra human traffic. Not bad.) It was quite an interesting event, with a flea market happening right next to a skateboard park and basketball park.
Food in Geylang
After leaving the flea market I went to Geylang for dinner! I followed the recommendations from this link, but really only got to Kwong’s satay and the hokkien mee next to it. The satay was amazingly succulent and not dry, and the hokkien mee was literally dripping with wok hei charred flavour. Yummy.
As far as weekends go, this was pretty enjoyable. Got to see youngsters in Singapore ply their wares at a flea market, and enjoyed amazing food at cheap prices (without much queuing, too!) in Geylang. It got me all recharged for the week ahead!
PS, this weekend I also did a photoshoot with my sweet gf Wendy. You can check out the end results here at her blog. She missed out this beautiful picture though.
