<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today I needed to get some small fish for frying and the fish vendor at the Meiling Street market decided to sell only on weekends as the business at the market has been poor.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Out of the many stalls which sell fish, can you imagine only one sell this kind of fish? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The fish vendor explains that the one with a yellow stripe on the centre is the best. He sells at $16 per kg and I bought 2 kg. The amount of fish shown above is around 1kg. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Prices of fresh meat and seafood at the wet markets generally increase before the Lunar New Year. This is because people stock up fresh food during the Lunar New Year period which </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">the Chinese would break off for a rest of 15 days.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Luckily, in Singapore where Chinese is the majority, the rest is only a few days. The public holidays are two days but the unofficial ones (which people could take leave off work) last between 3 to 7 days. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was wondering when the wet markets would open. Apparently, it varies depending on the market and vendor. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the 6th day <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">(初六6⃣️) of the Year of the Monkey which I visited Empress (Queens Road/Farrer Road), Meiling street and the Kreta Ayer wet markets, I found out that</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> it was the 6th of the Lunar New Year 2016 (初六6⃣️) for </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Meiling Street wet market, </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">and for the Empress (Queens Road/Farrer Road) and <a href="http://singaporewetmarket.blogspot.sg/2015/07/kreta-ayer-wet-market.html">Kreta Ayer wet market</a>, they were already opened on 初四4⃣️ (4th day). At the Meiling Street wet market, I also noticed the pork stalls were not opened yet in case you are expecting to buy a whole lot of different fresh meat after reading the blog. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">I also received a fresh tip from the lady selling vegetables how to cook a vegetable dish comprising of</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "百合”(means cooperation and peace) for 人日 (literally translated as "Man's day") which is on 初七7⃣️ of the Lunar New Year. </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0);">This vegetable is only seen once a year. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">You could stir-fry</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> seven kind of vegetables together to make this Lunar New Year dish.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The highlight of today was the extremely pricy 酿豆腐 (Beancurd) at the Kreta Ayer wet market. This stall was crowded with people but the lady selling was unfair to the people queuing and charged this lot of Beancurd which I bought at $12. I thought it was pretty expensive.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Overall, I love the Kreta Ayer Market for its variety of goods. It is however disappointing on maintainance despite efforts on refurbishing the food centre. As always, please weigh in your own opinion when you visit the market yourself. I will definitely come again for its excellent fresh fish and seafood. It is definitely not a wet market to be missed if you are a wet market fan. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Due to the closure of Meiling Street, I explored the Holland Drive Wet Market.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought my usual fresh meat for :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pork Loin & Pork Loin Bones - S$14/kg</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Due to the first time visit to the market, I investigated 2 pork stalls, I was served by an old couple who were quite slow in serving compared to the other stall, This stall thus built up a longer queue which gave an impression that its business was better. The other stall had a cleaner stall management. Both stalls offered me the same prices of the pork loin and pork loin bones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought some vegetables too. I would record the pricing for the community of wet market visitors as per usual. There were two vegetable stalls which I observed but this time, I only explored one of them. I will try to cover and give a more comprehensive review the next time I visit this market. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Australia Brocoli - S$1.50</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Water Cress - S$2 for 3 bunches</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Tapioca - S$1 per tapioca</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">French Beans - S$1 per packet</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In comparison to the other wet markets like Tiong Bahru, Meiling Street and Farrer Road (Queens) Wet Markets, this one does not come with a poultry stall which could be cumbersome if you need to buy some chicken. It has a convenient carpark which is just in front of the market if you drive in from North Buona Vista Road.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Meiling Street Wet Market closes from 6 Jul 2015 to 4 Aug 2015 for renovation.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the month, I needed to locate a nearby wet market which sells inexpensive fresh meat and fish. The one at Queens Road sells relatively fresh and inexpensive poultry but not fishes. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tiong Bahru Wet Market was quite far away from Farrer Road. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is nothing unusual for this week.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought the same old stuff but I was told the price dropped from last week's S$18 per kg to S$15 per kg for pork loin bones.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pork loin is cheaper because it is tough. There is less demand from the customers for pork loin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went to the Meiling market today expecting to buy only eggs and fruits but ended up with a whole load of fresh food. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought my supplies were running low so why not? I qhad used up my pork bones and Batang fish. As such, loading up on these this morning was a good idea. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought : </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 Whole Chicken - S$7.8</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10 Chicken Drumsticks - S$18</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2 Chicken breast meat - S$5</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In total, I spent S$30.80 for chicken. The butcher helped me to chopped the drumsticks and removed the skin and bones for the chicken breast. Not bad. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I bought 1 wedge of watermelon at S$2.50 and half a rock melon at S$3.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pork loin bones today cost S$16/kg. For the last two weeks, it had been S$18/kg so the price dropped. I bought 2 packets of S$7 each, slightly less than a kg. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); line-height: 22px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For fish, I did not ask the price per kg for Batang. But for prawns and "Sheng yu" (生鱼), it was S$18/kg and S$20/kg respectively. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also bought 2 bunches of Watercress at S$1.60.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I missed my weekday marketing this week. Surprisingly, the fresh food I bought last Tuesday was able to last till the end of the week. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have guests coming from the church to visit us today and I want to prepare the best dinner. So, I decided to pick out my fresh food from the Tiong Bahru wet market. I love their fish stalls for the freshness and variety. You could pick out fresh crabs swimming in water, lobsters and clams, mussels etc. There are easily 20 fish/seafood stalls in Tiong Bahru wet market. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought S$25 of pork and that was for 1kg of pork loin bones quoted at S$15/kg and 2 packets of S$5 minced lean meat. Looking back to my previous posts, I thought that the price of the pork bones was on the high side.</span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent also S$30 on my fish and prawns. It was S$10 for Batang fish and S$20 for 1kg of prawns. Pretty reasonable, I thought.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the vegetable stall, I bought lotus root for only S$6.80 enough for 8 people, 3 bunches of water cress at S$2 and the rest - spinach, sweet corn, red scallots and garlic at S$8.80.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Planning to cook "Di Wang Ji" today, I bought a whole chicken @ S$6.80 and 1 chicken breast fillet @ S$2.70. </span></div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beef cost S$9. The half kg price quoted was S$10. I like this beef stall because the stall lady always provides advice on which part of the beef to use. Disclaimer: no benefit was given to me at all to mention the stall. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I walked one more round to see if I needed anything else. Spotting the small fishes which I liked for frying, I decided to buy some. However, which stall to pick from was a tricky question. There were more than half a dozen stalls to choose from. I ended up with one stall which I had not patronized before. I asked for the price of the cod fish just to check. It quoted S$50 per kg for its cod fish. I thought it was rather expensive compared to Meiling market of S$45 per kg.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I proceeded with my purchase and told myself that I would try another stall for stall next time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will see... So small fish was at S$20. See below.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always love the Belachan chilli sold at the beancurd (酿豆腐)stall. I took a picture so readers could have a look. I usually add lime so it tastes spicy with a little sourness. </span>A<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">wesome!! I bought two at S$5.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My last item on the list was fruits. I can't miss this one as the fruits sold in Tiong Bahru market are fresh albeit expensive. I bought 1 packet of jackfruit at S$3, half a watermelon at S$7, two packets of seedless green grapes and 1 box doughnut peach at S$28.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The stalls at 730am are usually quiet. I am one of the early birds as the local schools here starts early. I need to drop off my school-going children.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I start off with pork. I have a brief conversation with the butcher as I notice that his helper - his wife is not around. His wife fell sick last night. It will not be easy for him today. Tuesday is a busy day for wet markets. Wet markets are closed on Mondays and most homemakers come on Tuesdays to pick up fresh food which they run out of. I belong to this category. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mum and mother-in-law visit the wet market everyday in order to pick up fresher meat and fish. It is also lighter to pick up what you need everyday as compared to weekly marketing. Staying close to a wet market or supermarket is definitely a plus for homemakers. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I spend :</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S$37 on pork </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S$12 for Batang fish (500grams)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S$27 for cod fish (600grams)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S$20 for prawns</span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 whole chickens - 3kg for $18 </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mango - 4 for $12</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ikan bilis - S$1.40 for 100g</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ginger - S$1.40 for 100g</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Garlic - S$1.40 for 100g</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lady at the dried goods stall tells me that the prices of the ikan bilis and garlic stay fairly stable but the price of ginger fluctuates. It used to be S$4 to S$5 per kg but rises to S$6 per kg lately.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week, I bought the prawns at S$26 per kg as compared to this week's S$20 per kg. I captured a picture in my previous post. Do you spot any difference? The ones today are slightly smaller. I still prefer the cheaper stall given a minimal difference.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I notice that the prawns are cheaper at the stall which I bought the fishes. The fishmonger at the latter stall comments that her cod fish is at very reasonable price. It is usually S$50 per kg but she sells only S$45 per kg. I agree because I notice her prawns cost only S$18 per kg. I am definitely going to buy from her stall next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The vegetables today is very fresh. Lotus root costs only S$8.5 for close to 1.5kg and radish costs S$3.5 for 1.25kg. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was running low on my pork as I did not get any on my previous trip on Tuesday. </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I usually buy S$7 pork bones for a pot of soup. I do not know the price per kg but today I ask so I could share this information. It is S$16 for a kg. I was recommended to buy this part of the pork called "Mei Rou" in Chinese. It is very tender and lean but pricey. One slab costs S$11. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also bought pork loin and asked the butcher to mince it for me. I usually buy S$5. Today I ask the per kg price and find out that it's S$13 per kg. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also needed dry goods and spent S$ 3.80 for 400g of yellow beans, 200g of black beans and 5 pcs of cuttlefish. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I'm at the market, I must as well buy some fruits. So I bought half a watermelon at S$5 and half a rock melon at S$3.50. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I need only prawns, vegetables, eggs and fruits today at the market.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The prawns always come from the usual stall that I frequent. It sells S$18 for a kg and the eggs were S$ 2 for 10. I bought 30 as my household is big. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am especially impressed by the vegetable stall today. There are a few in the Meiling market but never one which I especially frequent. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I tried out 2 or 3 vegetable stalls in Meiling street before. One of them is cheap but the goods are not fresh. The other two have better vegetables but pricey. I didn't like the way the stall owner trade. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today this stall lady gave me reasonable quality with great price!! </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at these! S$16 for the lot and free lime from the stall lady. </span></div>
