The hipster invasion continues at the Hari Raya Bazaar at Geylang Serai this year, where young stall owners get even more creative in coming up with the most photogenic, exotic or unusual dishes to lure customers.
At this fair held during the fasting month of Ramadan, the rainbow food trend - where everything is made as colourful as possible - is not abating.
There are rainbow noodles and rainbow cheeseburgers (just the buns, thank goodness) and even something called the Unicorn milkshake, a pink drink topped with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, candy and a unicorn-shaped meringue. More exotic international options are also available. New offerings include melted raclette cheese on potatoes and cocktail sausages, Scotch eggs with Asian flavours, and smoke-releasing dragon's breath dessert.
Another trend at the bazaar is grilled seafood featuring the pricier members of the shellfish family, such as oysters, scallops and crawfish. There are at least five such posh seafood stalls.
These funky stalls are only the tip of the iceberg at the bazaar, considered the mother of all Hari Raya fairs. The market has more than 1,000 stalls, up from 800 last year. There are stalls selling clothes, home decor items and even cars.
The food section has more than 200 stalls. Besides the new "artisanal" stalls, there is traditional fare such as Ramly burgers, kebabs and ayam percik (grilled spiced chicken).
The bazaar stretches along Engku Aman Road, Geylang Road between OneKM mall and Geylang Serai Market and around Tanjong Katong Complex. It runs till June 24, the day before Hari Raya Puasa.
