South Bridge Road, Chinatown
Central, Singapore
January 2014
It is a fortnight before the arrival of the Spring Festival. On a breezy weekday, housewives, tourists, office workers taking an afternoon off are at the Chinese New Year street market. You need to be early, to secure the freshest buys, so that what you need will not be snapped up in the rush coming soon in the days ahead. Stallholders are ever eager to Sell, Sell, Sell to you...
On a weekday, the streets are emptier, shopping is a breeze with the recent windy weather...
Uncle buys, Ah Ma buys, Ah Mei buys...
Smelly? Why neh...
Make a stop for Macau goods... Will be unique when offered to your guests...
This waxed meat stall has been here for many years. Aunty bought from here for many years too.
Good to meet up with Ah Huat here after one year and catch up again...
Uncle holds in his hand a green S$5 note, ever ready to pick up the reasonably-priced Nian Gaos ("Year Cake") at this famous bakery by the side street...
Ah Sim walks towards the stall, attracted by the bright red horse plush toys...
A tourist from Vietnam loves the cute toys and decides to pose for a shot...
When buyer and seller agrees, a deal is struck - 成交!
