Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar 2023 food guide


It’s the time of the year again when Ramadan bazaars are back in full swing! We recently covered the Kampong Gelam bazaar—the biggest of its size yet—but we can’t forget the OG main attraction, the Geylang Serai bazaar that officially opened on 17 March.

This year marks the longest run of the Geylang Serai bazaar. Open till 22 April, the market will boast a whopping 700 stalls, a tenfold increase from 70 last year. Of all the stalls, 150 will serve food. It’ll operate daily from 10am to 11:59pm.

That’s quite a bunch to wrap your head around, so to help you make the most of your time there, we’ve paid an early visit to suss out all the must-try food at the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar 2023. 

There are plenty of seats on-site for you to dine at too, including an extended “rooftop” area with comfy tables and bench seats this year!
