The Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar 2017 is back and bigger (and pricier) than ever! Amidst the high rentals, controversial Halal certified food stalls & illegal workers arrest, we present to you 8 hyped items we tried and tell you what’s yay what’s nay! We are looking to do another segment on the true blue traditional foods in Bazaar, so be sure to stay tune for that!

RACLETTE SET
Stall Name: The Raclette Factory ( Stall No. 78, near end of Blk 12 Haig Road)
Price: $12 (Raclette Set), $40 (Family Platter)
Pro : The trending warm gooey melting Cheese from France & the pan fried potatoes
Con:  The sky-high price & insane queue (be prepared to wait 20 mins or more)
Verdict: 6.5/10

UNICORN STARLITE DRINK
Stall Name: Rainbow Works (Stall No. 29, opposite Tanjong Katong Complex, Engku Aman Rd)
Price: $9.90
Pro :  Definitely Insta-worthy & you get a free pink balloon !
Con:  The inflated price tag and the amount of sugars / calories in this drink
Verdict: 2/10 (if you are health conscious) , 7/10 (if you a social media aficionado)

ROASTED MARSHMALLOW ON A STICK
Stall Name: The Wicked Cream Co (Stall No. 26, opposite Tanjong Katong Complex, Engku Aman Rd)
Price: $4 for 3 cubes on a stick , add on for premium flavours
Pro : Taste as good as it looks (We recommend the Salted Egg & Charcoal Lemonade Marshmallow, Gula Melaka is the hot fav!)
Con:  Nothing except don't spend too much time taking pictures like we did or they'll fall apart haha
Verdict: 8/10

SCOTCH EGGS
Stall Name: Loco Loco (Stall No. 7, opposite Tanjong Katong Complex, Engku Aman Rd)
Price: $5.50 (Chicken or Beef)
Pro : Perfect molten egg yolk centre! Crispy goodness, best eaten fried
Con:  Too little meat on our scotcheggs, at time it felt we were just eating eggs ; Meat to Egg ratio can be improved
Verdict: 7/10

RAINBOW SOFTSERVE
Stall Name: Happy Rollies (Stall 130, 131, 132 opposite Blk 12 Haig Road, Mini-Sou)
Price: $7
Pro : Can't think of any
Con:  Melts in an instant, below average tasting & texture plus the swirls needs major work. Miles apart from those Rainbow Tower Softserve you get in Japan/Korea.
Verdict: 2/10 (Disclaimer : Opinions are made based on the day where the machine was not working well, we paid $4 instead of $7 for missing flavours)
