Nothing can match an experience through Singapore's wet markets - the washed floors allowing you to slide through the corridors between your fresh vegetable grocer and your mutton butcher. It's an authentic market experience where communities gather and where you build relationships with the people who handle your food. Join Elliot and Rovik as they reflect on what makes wet markets great, including:

  1. What distinguishes wet markets from supermarkets
  2. How some of our more iconic wet markets (like Tekka and Geylang Serai) have stood the test of time
  3. Why we can't take wet markets for granted
