Cow Car Water Complex

Just 2 days before Chinese New Year or better known as Lunar New Year in Singapore. On a fine morning, I followed auntie to a better place to get reunion dinner ingredients and a place where all of the Chinese must visit when they come to a country, Indian have Little India around the world and Chinese have Chinatown around the world as well.

Back in Malaysia, we have Petaling Street which sadly has become more like a pirated street which only sell pirated stuff and food that only tourists are willing to get con.

But in Singapore, their Chinatown is more like a 1 stop shop with reasonable price.

Cow Car Water!!!


we have 1 as well in Damansara, but ofcourse those cow, car and water is for high end people who live in Damansara. This Cow is a place for everyone with any status in Singapore.


Outside the Chinatown complex is a huge temple which newly build. Despite, even the complex itself has just finish renovated few months ago...


the temple

been told that it is lots cheaper over here and easier to find what you want...

first stop is to buy fish and auntie insist she will only buy fish from this stall cause they will chop the fish for her.

pieces of fish wrapped nicely ready for Yu Sang~

the fishes are so fresh that it seems like they jump on to the ice and die there.

beside fresh fishes, the service they provide are so good as if you are in Tesco or something. Let say, if you watch Jamie Oliver buying ingredients on his show...it is similar to that. Not to mention they are very polite, unlike the usual Pasar people...
maybe because it is newly renovated and well mantained...so the floor is very clean even though it is wet
see????

so clean that I think Lynn D will start going to buy groceries...or mabe not~

most of them arrange everything nicely like supermarket and keep it clean...even the stall that sells life toads, turtles makes you think it is a pet shop...

toads having group sex while waiting to be serve on dining table...

life eel that you will go eeeeewwwww cause they are really disgusting....but hope to have a chance to taste them sometime...

next stop, vegetables....

fresh veges!!!

well arranged veges just like supermarket...

it is close to New Year eve and everyone are buying vege for reunion dinner...

buy ahhhh!!!!

the lady boss for this stall is so busy that she carried box and box of fresh veges from the storage place into the crowd...

even this egg stall can 'tapao' Joanna's business....hahaa

this complex have 3 floors, the lowest is market, second will be retail stalls and third is the food court

retailing which more like a shopping mall...

after having brunch on third floor, went to the street outside and take a walk...

umbrellas...

a very Petaling Street feel..

this street only will become like that before Chinese New Year and they only sell things that related to CNY...

Taiwanese candies!!!

CNY decorations...

Chinese sausages!!!

Nian Gao or Year cake???

my favorite...Mandarin Oranges!!!

Wulou, Pumpkin and Buddha Palm (hanging on top)

the street performers are very professional over here as well...

=)

after got everything we needed, then we call it for a day and leave Chinatown...

due to uncle is driving, so I cant show you all the street decorations they have over here...wasted!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!
