Ramadan Bazaars in Singapore:

Kampong Gelam Ramadan Bazaar

The Kampong Gelam Ramadan Bazaar returns with over 80 food stalls and 20 retail booths operating daily throughout the fasting month!

There’s also ample seating throughout the bazaar and even an air-conditioned area. Look out for weekend night lights at the mosque and aerial lightshows on the mosque facade, weekend performances and talks, plus a Mass Iftar happening on 1 April with a Pay-it-Forward option for those who wish to share their meal.

The Woodlands Ramadan bazaar is always one of the biggest bazaars in Singapore during Ramadan, and we’re so glad it’s back! This edition of Bazar Raya Utara (Malay for ‘North Raya Bazaar’) sees more spacious walkways, an abundance of tables and chairs for casual dining, and of course lots of great eats and Raya shopping. We’re partial to the traditional Ramly burgers for its nostalgia (be warned of the long queues and waiting times though) but you’ll also find other delicious street food options such as otah-otah from Ikan 1986, halal Taiwanese street food, Thai delights (Mango Sticky Rice to go, anyone?) and more!
