Geyland and Katong

cosmetics, and rice. While the wet market offers fruit,
vegetables, fish, poultry, and beef (you can never find pork
here due to Islamic religion.)
- Geylang Serai Malay Cultural
Village isn't successful even though Malay goods are sold at
reasonable prices.
- Joo Chiat Complex features
several shops selling exotic fabrics, batiks, Persian carpets,
and prayer rugs, brass lanterns, and Malay arts and crafts.
- City Plaza and Tanjong Katong

well-known spot for Malay and Peranakan specialties and Chinese
