bangkit road market @ bukit panjang

on sundays, if i do not go for my morning walk, i sometimes visit the bangkit market. it reminds me of the roadside markets in thailand. it is really like thailand because on some days you may meet these saffron-clad buddhist monks begging for alms at the market place.

i like to go this market because it is like an adventure. each time you go, you may see a different vendor hawking something you have not seen the week before.

but this indonesian or malaysian woman - in the picture on the right - is there on most weekends selling indonesian/malaysian products like avacado, buah salat, salted fish and cincalok.

next to her on last sunday were two other hawkers selling chinese medicine or oilment. there was also an elderly lady selling herbal plants that were apparently harvested from her own farm or garden.

on weekends, you get these itinerant hawkers selling cheap apparel like jeans, tee shirts and lingerie. some of the products that i have come across include leather belts (from a shop in suntec city), cheap watches and clocks, kitchen utensils and cleaning equipment.

i am a weekend browser; i do not buy anything most of the time.
