A good wet market is judged on the freshness of its fish, meat and vegetables, and on how clean the stalls are kept. Stalls are usually busiest in the early morning, so arriving soon after opening gives the widest choice. It helps to ask what came in that day before buying, and to check the cold items at the bottom of a stall. Regulars tend to buy from the same few stallholders and take their time over each purchase.
Bishan is a mature residential town, which makes this market a practical place to buy fresh groceries close to home.
