Hi Mummymoo, Pasar Tani Mega @ Larkin is open on Saturdays from approx 06:45am.

Go by 7am.

Leave by 9 for best experience.


Sorry I might have missed this but which day is this Pasar Tani Mega? Asking because I thought Pasar Tani are usually weekly but I could be wrong...

Thanks!

Most welcome Gardener!

As you make the occasional visit over the next few months you may have time to notice the unusual and rare. People are often friendly enough to ask about what to do with a certain vegetable or where to find the elusive. Look for the stall that displays items from Kelantan/Trengganu, and pounce on the buah roumenia and different jambus that occasionally surface.

You do know I have a weblog at puterim.com?

Hi
Do take the necessary precaution when there and of course anywhere for that matter. A colleague of mine had his car broken into. Made a report near the Larkin Police Station and the officer said its not uncommon. Those mother€¥£*^~€ seems to target SG cars..but true u will enjoy the pasar tani if you love all the kampung and hard to get stuff. Its the atmosphere that i like but this is not shared by the missus n d kids who prefer air con places anytime

yes the atmosphere is amazing. And honestly interesting as well.

and the vendors seem energized unlike the normal sales staff we meet in jb.

@ d beef stall d ladies were buying kilos of beef n the guy did brisk business.

I even aske the beef vendor top trim away the fats n he readily agreed.

Caught in a massive jam coming back to SG just now. Not as terrifying as 31 Dec year-end but lasted 2.5 hours in total...... Haiz.

I meant yesterday evening, not now liao....haha......Jam was mainly at EDL side, and not SG side, as the SG cars blocked all the lanes of the EDL, while trying to cut into the customs lanes.

Lesson learnt. Avoid EDL from JB to SG during the super holidays period. The previous big-time jams was also during last year CNY, and another occasion when an accident blocked off 3 EDL lanes......

Went to Country Garden also for the 1st time yesterday. V impressive work by the Chinese in a short span of 1 year, but I do find prices to be a barrier for me. Hee

If you can do some business in JB and take advantage of the low business cost there. That will be excellent !

haha , hopefully by then i can sell liao .

And no more living in JB ? Tired of jams and JB life ?

Jams can be managed rather easily.. Do not go back to sg the usual time as the others . Everyone was going back after holiday break yesterday..sure jam. I came back this morning at 5 am - took about 1.5 hour at the first link. Had a nice breakfast along the causeway with beautiful music. :smile:

For me , anything between 1 to 1.5 hour is expected. Less than 1 hour is a bonus.

I was only caught in a horrendous jam twice (2 to 3 hours)in my last 1.5 years travelling in and out of JB.
