Unfortunately, Ramadan bazaars are still not allowed this year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

But that shouldn't stop you from getting your fix of bazaar goodies.

Here are some mini Ramadan bazaars you can find in Singapore:

Mr Malabar Cafe

Just a short walking distance away from Mustafa Shopping Centre is Mr Malabar Cafe.

The coffee shop seems to house several mini stalls selling almost everything from novelty drinks like Butter Beer to full-fledged meals like biryani.

There's also the well-loved Ramly burgers:

And other bazaar staples including ayam percik (grilled chicken coated in sweet spicy sauce), otah, vadai and more.
