First day is worst day.

A version of the Taiwan Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) is now open at The Grounds @ Kranji over this long weekend.

The queue earlier today was rather insane.

Here it is.

In case you can't see it.

Here is some footage of the crowd being let in.

It's probably going to be insanely crowded.

The stalls are already seeing the extent of how much Singapreans love Taiwanese food.

To all who are thinking of coming to Turb Club for 士林夜市, this is the current situation. Crowded and the rain is definitely not welcoming. 😏 Oh, there is a long queue in the rain to go in as well.

According to Miss Tam Chiak, here are some of the stuff available there.

"That’s not all, you can also satisfy your bubble tea craving at OneZo Tapioca, Bober Tea and Blackball. There’s also the highly raved bottled milk tea from Chun Cui He (純萃。喝) too."

Taiwanese snacks from ChiaTe Bakery, one of Taiwan’s best-known pineapple cake gift brands. Looking for something cute and Instagram-worthy? Perhaps something BEAR shaped or HEART shaped? Taiwan Waffles is a new pop-up and they offer a variety of flavoured waffles. Think Chocolate, Cheese, Red Bean, Double Chocolate, Peanut & Hotdog waffles.

If you don't want to brave the insane crowd today, and want to try your luck sometime soon, here are the timings you might want to look out for.
