4785. Travels Singapore. A Food Court in Block 628, Ang Mo Kio Wet Market.

TRAVELS SINGAPORE - A Food Court in Block 628 Ang Mo Kio Wet Market. This video shows a typical food court in a wet market complex in the old Housing Board (HDB) Estates. Block 628 Ang Mo Kio Wet Market and Food Court are housed in one building, so that heartlanders can buy their meat and vegetables and other food products as well as have breakfast.

Newer integrated hubs like the new Punggol One and Fernvale Community Club building has the Hawker Centre only. The wet market is not part of the hub. In such cases, the heartlanders have to go elsewhere or shop at supermarkets. Most young people shop at supermarkets as the cheaper wet markets can be "smelly" and has wet flooring and no air conditioning.

1483. A visit to the wet market - 628 AMK Market

Today, Friday, Jun 28, 2013, I visited 628 AMK Market, a wet market that has more vacant stalls than some 5 years ago.

At least 4 fish stalls were not open. "What happened? No business?" I asked the lady fish-monger of 10 years at stall 01-177. She said: "Some operators have retired, some open later."
However, a lady customer in her late 40s said: "One stall had not opened in the past 2 months!"
"You are a good mother," I said. "Instead of going to air-conditioned supermarkets to buy fish, you buy from the wet market where the fish is more fresh."
"I have NS boys to feed," she referred to her sons in NS (National Service). "In any case, I don't know how to buy fish at the supermarket."
