Just like our own homes, wet markets and eating places need to be washed periodically to keep things spick and span. So, don’t be furious if you spent quite a bit on private hire surge fees, only to find the food centre you wanted to visit had closed for spring cleaning. That’s because you failed to read my wet market and food centre cleaning list — tsk tsk.
Do you get that mini panic attack every time this monthly list drops? Thankfully, there are only 20 places affected in May. To see whether your area is involved, check out my list of markets and hawker centres scheduled for spring cleaning in May 2025.
