Then there’s the laksa, a fiery noodle soup capable of making even the most courageous individuals perspire profusely.n As I savoured the first spoonful, my mouth felt like it was staging its very own version of a dance-off — flavours waltzing gracefully, followed by a spicy salsa! And who could forget the roti prata? It’s so crispy and flaky I nearly employed it as a frisbee before realising its true culinary potential!
Q: Is it true that the stalls can get quite crowded at night? How do you manage that?
A: Absolutely! The evening scene at Circuit Road is like trying to navigate through a water park on a hot summer day—slippery, hectic, and highly likely you’ll end up drenched! But fear not, my friend; I’ve mastered the art of stall roulette. I usually choose a stall that looks like it has a line, which indicates it’s worth the wait. Just be prepared for a bit of elbowing, as fellow foodies have the same idea! On my last visit, I practically had to scale a mini mountain of people to snag a plate of my beloved mee goreng. It was a bit like a game of human Tetris, but once I got my food, all was well in the world!
Q: What tips do you have for first-time visitors to Circuit Road Market?
A: First off, come with an empty stomach and a stretchy waistband! You’ll want to try everything, and believe me, you’ll regret wearing tight trousers when you’re eyeing that massive serving of chendol! Secondly, don’t be afraid to mingle. I made some delightful new friends in the queue while debating the quality of fried oyster omelette—e discussions were so animated that you’d have thought we were debating world peace! Lastly, bring some form of insect repellent, as the evening visits sometimes invite a few extra ‘friends’ in the form of pesky mosquitoes wanting to share your meal. Nothing says “I love food” quite like enjoying a satay while slapping away bugs!
Q: How does Circuit Road Market handle hygiene, especially with so many people?
A: Hygiene is always a concern when it comes to food stalls, but I’ve found that Circuit Road takes it quite seriously. Most of the stalls display their cleanliness ratings proudly, like a lion showcasing its mane. I’ve witnessed hawkers washing their hands with the kind of fervour that should probably apply to my own laundry! Just make sure to choose stalls bustling with activity, as they tend to be the ones that have reputations to uphold—and they get through food faster than I get through a box of chocolates. After all, who wants a side of germs with their chilli crab? Just keep your eyes peeled, and you’ll find a splendid mix of delicious food paired with cleanliness that even my grandma would approve of!
