PasarBella - A Farmers' Market

I knew about this farmers market, PasarBella from the net friend. PasarBella had its preview on 4-5 May 2013 and I went on 5th May(Sunday) which I expected there will be crowded.

I went to the farmer's market in New Zealand so I expected it might have the same concept. However, it is different from what I thought of. 1st, it is indoor with aircorn. 2nd, the the food sale here are not really cheap, it is like high end market.

PasarBella provide a one-stop food and lifestyle experience under one roof. The founder sought to offer similar concept of other global markets in Singapore. Housed within a warm community-based environment, PasarBella encompasses a seafood market, meat, dairy, fresh produce, wines and craft beers, global cuisines and personal services. PasarBella is located at The Grandstand (formerly Turf City), which sits right in the heart of Bukit Timah. It is easily accessible by car or public transport, there is also the added convenience of free parking on-site. There are also free shuttle bus services from Newton, Toa Payoh and Botanical Garden MRT station to The Grandstand. You can view the SCHEDULE.

There are quite a lot of the traders at PasarBella. I had took a tour for all but of course I wasn't manage top try everything. So for sure, there will be next trip.

Huber’s Deli - I like sausage, that is the reason this store attracted me. It had quite a long queue on Sunday and I guessed I queued for at least 15 mins. I got myself chicken cheese sausage. Different from other sausage bun, it use the french baguette and toasted well. The portion is consider bigger than the normal sausage bun, which cost $7.80.

I can't remember which store selling this. I just remember the store sale homemade rendang paste, sambal & kaya. The kaya($4) is really quite nice. The rendang paste tasted really good and you can sample the stuff that sell in the store. There also sale Rendang Beef Burger($8). I got to try this from a friend which purchase it. The beef with rendang indeed delicious, beef is so tender and yummy. For the portion, I felt slightly expensive for a $8 burger with the size.
