26) One week before CNY, in wet market.

Posted on February 1, 2013

We can feel the joy and heat coming from this wet market before Lunar New Year.  One typical characteristic of a wet market is, prices are cheap and foods are always fresh.  Unlike supermarkets where meat and seafood were usually frozen, in the wet market, vegetables, seafood, meat and other foodstuff are bought directly from wholesalers and skip the packaging process for cold storage.

Bargain is the most common language between hawker and customers.

Wet market in Singapore is segregated in wet and dry segment.  Any food you want under the sky is under one roof.

As CNY is just around the corner, the price of seafood will shoot up accordingly.

 

Vegetables sold in bundle with reasonable price.

How can eggs be left behind where most traditional cakes can’t go without it.

Round pomelo makes your year all round prosperous.

My favorite fruit store stock up with variety of fruits with a humble price tag.

Sweet and sour tidbits always challenge your taste buds.

Nuts and traditional cookies come in loose form and authentic taste.

Some toiletries top-up for a fresh new year.

Dried stuffs and canned foods at one corner conquering the heart of every customers.

Happen to lose your shoes along the way?  Not to worry, just pick up one and carry on with the marketing!

Monster ‘Nian’ will not approach this scarlet red shop.

Prayer stuffs all ready for Gods and ancestors.

Live seafood make their stay in aquarium.

Pray for guardian and protection for a better year.

Flowers are all bloomed and ready, what about you?
