The first Twilight: Flea and Feast of the year will be going on from Jan. 17 to 19, 2020.
The first of four events in 2020, the Twilight: Flea and Feast hosts entirely local F&B and retail vendors.
With a back-to-school theme, the upcoming event will have more than 50 food vendors and over 200 homegrown retail brands.
Local street food
Here's a look at some of them:
Katoshka
Katoshka is known for its double-fried russet potatoes served with a variety of sauces.
This russet fries with special cheese sauce, for example, is a classic choice.

They also have other sauces like sour ranch and chilli beef.

Yummy Takoyaki
There is always a long queue for Yummy Takoyaki.
But that's a given since the Muslim-owned eatery serves takoyaki as authentic as one could get in Japan.

While octopus is the usual filling in takoyaki, Yummy Takoyaki also offers others like prawn, mushroom, chicken hotdog and crabstick.
A serving of five takoyaki typically goes for S$4.
O'Braim
O'Braim is known for their goreng pisang (banana fritters) with cheese.
A typical serving consists of banana fritters topped with grated cheese, chocolate rice and condensed milk.
