Joining the boba crowd at Geylang is the popular bubble stall, Alley. You might have sipped their famed brown sugar tea or the delicious range of milk tea. But the Alley has added a new unique dish to the mix. The Boba Pancake Stack is not one to be messed with. This tea-infused pancake dish is drenched in cream and topped with, of course, bubble tea pearls! Nothing short of chewy and sweet, you’re in for a tea-riffic treat!

5. Charkoi
Move aside martabak manis, there’s a new favourite dessert at Geylang Serai’s Bazaar Ramadan. Charkoi is home to the dessert-style youtiao or char kway, which is a Chinese cruller or Chinese “churros”. For those who just want to give this new dessert a try, why not start simple with the nutella flavour that is topped off with sprinkles. Otherwise, you could opt for the savoury options such as the Chicken Floss Nachos and the Rendang Daging.
