The spotlight’s on Yishun again — not for anything strange or chaotic — but for something a lot more exciting.
This mega pasar malam that takes place only once a year has finally returned, and it’ll be held next to Yishun MRT station from now till 7 July 2024.
With 90 food stalls selling an extensive variety of street food from all around the world, including halal and Muslim-owned options, you’re probably gonna be spoilt for choice!
Keep a lookout for trendy food items like rainbow roll cakes, heart-shaped fried ice cream, XXL fried squid, TikTok-viral pani puri, colourful jelly balls, Hokkaido “sticky milk” desserts, spicy pratadogs, fist-sized bakso (Indonesian meatballs), and even roasted durian topped with cheese.
Otherwise, you can count on a pasar malam as big as this to have the usual suspects — think traditional snacks like vadai, shawarma, muah chee, kueh tutu, otak otak, Ramly-style burgers, tauhu bergedil, and lekor.
This also includes the likes of pasar malam fare that have become staples in recent years, like assorted grilled seafood, Thai fried banana, tanghulu, Japanese-inspired taiyaki, and filled bomboloni.
Fans of Taiwanese fare are in luck, as they’ll be able to get their fix of sweet potato balls, oyster mee sua, stinky tofu, peanut ice cream popiah, fried milk, mentaiko chicken chop, and egg pancakes.
The same goes for those who go gaga over Korean street eats like loaded cream waffles, cheesy corn dogs, lemon chicken, hotteok, and tteokbokki-sausage skewers.
Once you’ve got the goods, you’ll have plenty of seating (complete with fairy lights) to choose from, so don’t afraid to head down with the entire family! In fact, weekends bring even better vibes, with the addition of live music and busking performances.
After all that grub, why not take a stroll through the retail area or try your hand at one of the many carnival, VR, and arcade games available?
There are also plenty of fun rides that’ll keep the kiddos occupied, including spinning teacups, mini water boats, robotic cars, and a bouncy castle.
