Best Wet Market Near Me in Singapore
To find a wet market near you in Singapore, start with your nearest NEA market and food centre. Good picks by area are Tekka (Little India), Chinatown Complex (city), Geylang Serai (east), Chong Pang (Yishun), Marsiling Lane (Woodlands), Bukit Panjang, Ghim Moh, Empress Road and Tiong Bahru. In Sengkang, Fernvale Hawker Centre and Market has a market section. All of these are on NEA’s 2026 cleaning schedule as existing centres, so they are open. Each one shuts for a few days each quarter for cleaning, so check the dates below before you go.
What’s changed in 2026
- Senoko Fishery Port is out. Its seafood traders moved to Jurong Fishery Port in March 2024, and Senoko closed to the public after 17 March 2024.
- Sengkang New Market is out. We could not confirm its current address or find dated evidence that it still trades. We added Fernvale Hawker Centre and Market, an NEA centre in Sengkang West, instead.
- Chong Pang Market & Food Centre is still open at Blk 104/105 Yishun Ring Road. Its stallholders are due to move into the new Chill @ Chong Pang building, which is expected to be ready in 2027.
- Tiong Bahru Market finished repairs and redecoration in July 2025. The wet market is on the ground floor, with the food centre upstairs.
- We added the next NEA cleaning closure for every NEA market, from the official 2026 schedule.
- Unconfirmed phone numbers and old Facebook links were removed. For NEA markets, the contact is the NEA hotline, 6225 5632.
Why Singaporeans still shop at wet markets
Wet markets sell fresh fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, tofu, spices and dried goods from separate stalls. Many stallholders will cut, clean and portion your purchase while you wait. Most markets also sit next to a hawker centre, so you can have breakfast and do your marketing in one trip.
Most wet markets in Singapore are run by the National Environment Agency (NEA). NEA publishes a schedule of quarterly cleaning closures for every centre on data.gov.sg. Check it before a trip, because the whole market shuts on cleaning days.

How do I find the nearest wet market near me?

Are wet markets cheaper than supermarkets?
Often, yes, for vegetables, fruit, meat and seafood. Prices vary by stall and season, so compare a few stalls.
Why is it called a wet market?
The floors are often wet from melting ice used to keep seafood fresh, and from washing after meat is cut. The name separates these markets from shops that sell dry goods.
