Today saw me out of my normal Fairprice / NTUC / Jumbo supermarket rounds and at the Pasir Panjang Wholesale market, courtesy of my dear friend who's been going to a lot of trouble making me feel at home here in SG and showing me all her secrets. (Apologies for the photos, taken with the i-phone as I wasn't thinking and planning ahead enough to take a proper camera). The market it rather fun and the produce way fresher and a lot cheaper than the supermarkets. And a good excuse to take pictures again.
Produce arrives in the big containers and gets shunted around with high speed forklift trucks driven by the cool guys -
honestly, if you're young and cool looking and a speed merchant you get to drive one, otherwise you're just a trader or an auctioneer or once you're long in the tooth and bald of head you sort the fresh from the stale.

Produce from all around the world Not sure of the relevance of a surfboard in a dry good store - maybe washed up in the same container ...

That is a fantastic montage up top. Really vivid colors and nice variety of shapes and textures.
PS: If you feel like a weekend in Penang sometime in the next 11 weeks, just let me know! George Town is a cozy little place.
