Geylang Ramadan Bazaar 2006
A visit to the Geylang Bazaar is a must for anyone, Muslim or not. But be prepared for the crowd and the heat especially over the weekend when everyone heads there to shop or just to look around. This is something that I look forward too as I enjoy watching the people and of course I get to sample the amazing array of food that you can find there. However, just a little advise to non-Muslims who are heading to Geylang during this period. Be a little sensitive and don't eat infront of the Muslims who are fasting if you happen to be there before breakfast time. Time and time again I have seen non-Muslims munching away, totally not aware that the many other people around them have gone without food and drink for hours. When in Rome, do as Romans do. Well, same thing, when in Geylang and it's not time to break fast yet, KEEP YOUR FOOD AND EAT IT ELSEWHERE or at home! Took some pictures of the food from my first trip for this year. Am planning a few more trips so hopefully will remember to bring my camera along then too.

Below: RAMLY burger has to be the bestest burger ever!
Below: Barbequed chicken wings served nice and hot.
Below: My FAVOURITE keropok lekur (to the left).

As you can see, Singaporeans, regardless of race or religion are pretty much obsessed with our food (and shopping) - and we're proud of it too! :o)
