Shopping for New year goodies


The best time to shop for any new year goodies is now, any later you'll risk getting heat stroke from the jam packed crowd.

Here you see the man cutting up wind dried pork. "Golden Ham" Steam it, best eat with plain congee.



New Year decorations should always include some signs of spring, the best will be some plantations.

The branches you see are full of flower buds, normally covered in shells, but once its fallen off, you'll see a hairy little thing inside.

The price for sweets has dropped by $0.20, now selling at $0.80 per 100g.

Muah Shu (Muah Chee) 100g = $0.80
Common Ground nuts 500g = $4.00
Hong Kong Roasted Red seeds 500g = $8.00

Bak Guah?
Lim Chee Guan:
500g = $22.00
600g = $26.00
1kg = $44.00
(Normal weekday Queue is average 50 person at any one time)

Bee Jin Hiang:
600g = $22.80
1kg = $38.00
(Normal weekday Queue is average 4 person at any one time)

You can sample the goodies before buying them, but please don't litter. Its really horrible.

Between 12am and 6am on the first day of Lunar New Year would be a great time to grab some really good bargains too as the vendors are eager to dump their stocks and are willing to slash prices by up to 90%! ;p
