The Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar and other Ramadan bazaars in Singapore might have been cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 situation but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your usual bazaar treats ? The good news is that various home-based businesses are delivering your favourite Ramadan bazaar snacks and online Ramadan bazaars have also started selling food, Raya clothes, home accessories and more.

Between increasing your acts of worship and stocking up on essentials for the holy month, you might be craving some Ramadan treats for iftar.

Cooked Food items:

1. Dendeng

Dendeng (BBQ beef jerky) is personally one of my favourite snacks to have at the Geylang Serai Bazaar! Chewy, juicy and yummy, having just one piece is never enough ?

Where to get it: 

Halal status: All Muslim-owned

2. Ramly Burger

Ah, the quintessential Ramadan Bazaar snack, Ramly Burger! There's nothing like the appetising smell of meat patties and watching the stall vendors grill the burgers right in front of your eyes. Well, since you can't get that this year, time to enjoy it with your loved ones at home instead ?

Where to get it:

Halal status: All Muslim-owned

3. Apam Balik

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with sweet toppings, apam balik (turnover pancake) is one traditional dessert we just can’t seem to get enough of! Traditionally, it consists of only peanuts and corn but several home-based businesses are selling so many flavours like Nutella, cheese, durian, banana and more.

Where to get it:

Halal status: All Muslim-owned

4. Takoyaki

Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and filled with delicious ingredients like octopus, prawns or sausages, it's hard not to love takoyaki! Thankfully, many home-based businesses and even famous takoyaki stalls have started delivering takoyaki, so you can enjoy these mouthwatering treats at home ?

Where to get it: 

Halal status: All Muslim-owned

5. Ayam Percik

A traditional favourite at bazaars, Ayam Percik is grilled chicken marinated in rich spices. The secret to this chicken tasting so good is really the sauce. It’s relatively spicy with a tinge of sweetness to it ? For those of you who are bummed about not being able to eat Ayam Percik at the bazaars this year, don't fret! You can get it delivered to your home too (:

Where to get it:

With the circuit breaker measures in Singapore and you're spending more time at home, there's all the more reason for you to spruce up your home! Whether you need new plate sets, carpets/rugs, cushion covers, coasters and even Islamic-inspired decorations, you'll find them on GOBAZA and eBazaar under their home section. For electronics like rice cookers, multi-cookers as well as household cleaning equipment, you can find them on Geylang Bazaar Online. Look out for the Electronics, Homeware and Cookware sections!

Ramadan this year might be less festive than previous years but rest assured, you can still find your favourite Ramadan bazaar snacks and even shop for Raya essentials online! What's even better is that you're in the comfort of your own home and focus on spending more time doing ibadah. The great thing is that you'll also be supporting local small businesses. So, remember to SHARE this list with your loved ones and let them know that Ramadan at home can be an awesome experience too ?
