the market opens at 8.30am and closes at 2pm according to online source. so i got up bright and early on a saturday morning while baby woke up late! =P haha when it comes to food i'll be up =P
anyway, it's pretty deep inside Dempsey and it's kinda difficult to get there if u dont have a car. lucky for us, we have one. at first we tot the place will be filled with expats, but nah there was a balance of both us and expats. the stalls were mostly mended by ang-mohs, even the veg counter. rare sight in Singapore i must say.
re-enactment of the farmer's market i use to love going to every sunday in Germany. Those markets in Europe is probably 20times bigger then the one we went to. they were clean and not smelly compared to the upgraded uwet markets we have in Singapore.
so in Loewen rd, they had stalls which sold premium olive oil, chocolates, dried products, cakes and pastries, bread, wines, english beer and cider, cheese, salami, a bbq counter, and of course my favourite paella station! yummmmmy!
heard the paella is good and that's the primary reason why we decided to give it a go at the market, kinda pricey at $10 per box, but it was all worth it. i think we bought like $40 worth of paella, and i must say it's a must-try. The paella is definitely better then those we had in Marche and Ma Maison, and comparable to those we ate in Barcelona! heavenly! cooked by a Spanish lady, which explains to authenticity, the ingredients were so fresh and their not stingy about how much prawn, sotong they give u. thumbs up!
and we had a bbq bacon burger to share as well, love the sesame bun hehe. but still cant compare to yummy paella! oops =X
it's kinda like a family affair over there, with kids running around and drawing all over on the floor as there were chalks laying about everywhere, the people there are very friendly and almost everything can be sampled! haha singaporean...
