By now, you’ve either personally experienced or read about this year’s larger-than-life Geylang Serai Ramadhan Bazaar. The general consensus is that the crowd is huge, as is the selection of stalls – and it’s been recently discovered that not all the stalls serve halal snacks.

For my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters – let this list of 20 halal-certified and Muslim-owned food stalls serve as a guide to help you navigate the bazaar when you’re in search of yummy eats.

Broti is the go-to stall for Thai milk tea but what makes them particularly great is their “Pay It Forward” initiative – with just $4, you can pay for stranger’s cup of drink which will be randomly distributed just before iftar. It’s all in the spirit of doing good this Ramadhan!

This stall will have your IG feed-covered – their smoky dragon’s breath dessert (flash-frozen snacks) make for perfect boomerangs.  Breathing in helium used to be a neat party trick, but here, it’s all about vaporized liquid nitrogen.

Geylang Serai Ramadhan Bazaar 2017 – not your average puasa malam

 

This year’s bazaar is massive and making your way around will be disorienting at first so make sure you approach it with a solid plan. Know what you’re looking for, otherwise you’ll end up spending way more than expected – or worse, not getting what you want at all.
