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 
THAI MILK TEA SOFT SERVE
Stall Name: Loco Loco (Stall No. 7, opposite Tanjong Katong Complex, Engku Aman Rd) Price: $4 Pro : Darn solid Thai Milk Tea Softserve topped with crusty cornflakes. As authentic as it can get! Con: None except we wish there were more Verdict: 9/10 
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) 
Watermelon Volcano Stall Name: Happy Rollies (Stall 130, 131, 132 opposite Blk 12 Haig Road, Mini-Sou) Price: $6.90 (medium), $12.90 (large) Pro : Great thirst quencher to beat the heat and crowd! Con: A little passe (2016 food fad) Verdict: 7/10 
THAI MILK / EARL GREY / MATCHA TEA Stall Name: Broti (Stall 27, opposite Tanjong Katong Complex, Engku Aman Rd) Price: $4 for a large cup Pro : Value for money! We all loved the Earl Grey the best! Plus it’s not overly sweet! Con: Not enough ice, we like it ice cold! Verdict: 7/10 (for Thai Milk Tea) 7.5 /10 (for Earl Grey
