5 Best Wet Markets in Singapore to Immerse in Local Culture

To most locals, wet market is a destination for freshest produce while it is a must-see attraction for a cultural experience for tourists.

In Singapore, wet market is so-called because people clean the floors with water after washing vegetables or cleaning fish, and thus it is often wet. However, a typical wet market is not totally wet. There are two sections in each wet market – the wet area and the dry area. Products such as meat, poultry, and fish are selling at the wet section while herbs, spices, grain, beans, dried noodles, and dried seafood are available at the dry area.

Most of the wet markets open at 04:00 and close around noon. So the best time to explore Singapore’s wet markets is in the early morning as that is when the fresh produce is at its best.

For bargain hunters, Singapore wet market is one of your places.

So, just roll up your trouser cuffs and have an interesting experience with the 5 best wet markets in Singapore.

MENU: The morning menu is all about the traditional breakfast with some types of kaya toast, steamed kaya bread as well as soft-boiled eggs, steamed pork buns, and coffee.

LOOK & FEEL: New look and new environment. Most of the Tong Ah seats are inside an air-conditioned room while only some are placed in an open-air area in front of the shop. The old-world charm of the original shop is a thing that Tong Ah cannot bring along to the new address.
