Senoko Fishery Port

We wanted to check our the prices at Senoko Fishery Port so we woke up at 3.30am to explore last Saturday. By the time we reached at about 4.30am, it actually looked quite empty. Its my first time there so I’m not sure if it always looks like this. The live crabs from a particular stall were also sold out. Maybe I’ll try going at 2ish or 3am to catch more action and have more choices next time!


I wanted to buy some prawns and asked if I could get 500g, the stall owner said something like no one buys 500g. And so, I bought 1kg. ($13 per kg for the size that I bought) At another stall, I wanted to get flower crabs and asked if I could get 1kg, but he said he was only left with one basket and asked if I can take the whole thing. He weighed it and it was 2.5kg. 2.5kg of Sri Lankan crabs are fine, but 2.5kg of flower crabs :l But.. I bought 2.5kg in the end. ($5 per kg, but they were smaller than the ones in normal wet markets)


We bought some clams, crabs, prawns, and fish. My grandma told me that for some stalls the prices are half price of the neighbourhood wet markets, and some other stalls are priced the same.
Moral of the story: Bring your grandma there so you won’t get cheated. Haha.

Apparently there’s another fishery port – Jurong Fishery Port, but it caters more to bulk purchasers.

Pilates bodyworks at Holland Drive Review

It costs $32 per group lesson at Pilates Bodyworks, but I’ve been booking classes via KFIT. I usually go for Allegro Beginners but have been for the Allegro L1 before and it’s just different variations.

Format of the class is usually pilates mat for half an hour, before moving on to reformer for the next half an hour, and class is capped at 10 pax (Think its cause they have limited equipment too). I like that the teachers’ remember us by name, and actively correct our posture. Lockers are provided, and there’s a small changing area too.

If you’re on KFIT, there are Pilates classes at Pilates Plus, PowerMoves, Moumentum Lab and Evolution Fitness too :)

Do leave a comment if I missed any deals out, or if any of the details aren’t correct!
There’s one more place that has oysters at $2.90 nett each even without promo. Garçons Express at Timbre Plus. Tried it a couple of times and it depends on your luck if the oysters are fresh. Just sharing!


There are so many reviews out there so I’m not gonna flood the web. But.. Just to share my experience so far. Teru sushi is the cheapest (food is reasonably priced too) but the oyster quality isn't consistent. Highly likely frozen. Went there about 5 times and my mum had a tummy ache two out of five times. I was fine though! We still go there cause its quite cheap. Bar on Chulia is also likely frozen and defrosted. Humpback never disappoints :) Greenwood Fish Market is good, but I don’t like that we have to order one main each cause I’m a small eater and food normally goes to waste if I don’t share.
