Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar Food
What draws thousands of visitors to this iconic event is the chance to experience its rich blend of traditional and contemporary food and beverage offerings. This ranges from authentic Malay cuisine to modern fusion food.
As you walk amongst the stalls at the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar, you will find stalls selling pasar malam mainstays like Ramly Burgers, vadai and biriyani.
For something that you can eat on the go, there are also stalls selling hotdogs as well as cheesesteak sandwiches. For more regional flavours, there is also Banh Mi.
We had the OG Burger with loaded fries from Mahmud’s Tandoor too. The burger was nicely marinated and charred chicken patty in between two soft brioche buns. The fries were nicely seasoned as well and topped off with tandoori chicken bits and a harissa mayo and mint yoghurt.
Another find that we made at the Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar was the Dubai Kunafa Cookie, available at the Sugar Mama Lah, where you can also get their delicious banana pudding.
Other spots that those with a sweet tooth can make their way to include the Crispy Kunafa and Fried Milk from Ubi Ubi.
Once you have your food, walk past all the retail stalls to reach the stage area where you can sit down and enjoy it.
