Today, we have a pretty tight schedule. First we went to buy goat milk, then, the kids went to feed the fish. Then, we buy veggies. And then, we end up at this Farmers' market.
It is located here. 75, Loewen Rd.
We found Loewen Rd. It is just beside the soccer field. And then, turn left into Loewen Rd that leads to #75.
And you will see the sign every where. Apparently, it is a very well known place for foreigners. Not many locals knew about this place.
From far, you can see the tent and there are some place for kids to play too.
You can see each stores tries to promote their products, food, etc.
There are lots of dips, Olive oil, etc. Some of the Olive oil taste excellently.
Some stores sell all kinds of pasta, noodles.
But there is this Spanish Restaurant selling the Paella. It is one of the most delicious Paella that I have ever tasted in Singapore. Look a the ingredients they used. Quite good.
And she has cooked another pan of Paella at the back.
My friend, Raymond was right. The Paella is something you cannot miss. It is very good. This small little plate cost $5.
And 20 minutes later, we bought another big plate that cost $10. And Jay Jay loves it!
The same Spanish store sell this ham/pork.
The pork was kept 2.5 years ... and it is so good. Especially those pieces with the white fatty fat.
Got to find some sweet melon to go with it. Good stuff. Strongly recommend this!
Same Store. Spanish restaurant store, they sell wine too. So, they open 6 bottles for you to taste. I tasted about 5 of them, and I like the red. I didn't bring enough cash for the good red wine. So, I bought the "CHEAP" wine. They do not have vintage on it. It is a Monastrell. The wine has heavy bodies, lots of tannins but not acidic. It goes well with the Paella. And I am sure it goes well with all the red meat. So, I decided to buy a bottle to taste. It's $20.
Yes! It is indeed "Intense". It is very powerful.
Let's see what else they are selling here. There are less than 15 stores here.
This table, she put 3 plates of Olive Oil there. And I can see that the middle plate is almost empty. So, I tried all three of them and I take another bread and dip into the 2nd one again. And now, I understand why the middle plate is almost empty. Because it is very good! It is Olive Oil that has natuaral Basil oil in it. No wonder it is so nice. This store accept NETS payment. Not every store is like this, so you have to prepare to bring more cash$ if you want to buy lots of stuff.
Look at all the homemade Dip and Jam. The beans on the right is very good.
The beans is from Himalayan. And it has a very refreshing taste. It is not a normal beans.
I stopped by this store. I love to eat Risotto. The Ang-moh porriage. :) So, I buy this to test cook.
Let's check out the kids... They are just fine.
They found more children playground.
While they are playing... I stopped by this VAN here.. Oh, its a Jungle Beer. What do they sell again?
They sell home brewed beer. I pay $10 and taste all 5 of them. And I like the first one, which is very refreshing.
Time to go. Before we go, I grab a Chicken Pie.
I love the settings of the Loewen Markets. I got a feeling that it will soon become one of my favorite place during weekend whenever it is avilable. The next one will be Nov 5. And there is also 60 Robertson Quay coming up soon next week, Oct 22.
Have Fun!
