Singaporeans flock to Larkin Hari Raya Bazaar

What say you on the issue below?

JOHOR BARU: The Hari Raya Bazaar at Larkin Central is a popular spot for festive shoppers, especially Singaporeans.

Many Singaporeans make the trip across the Causeway to the bazaar weeks before Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It offers a wide array of Hari Raya cookies and snacks.

Singaporean Mohd Ali Abd Manaf said that he brings his mother and other family members to the bazaar to buy cookies for Hari Raya.

“I will usually come to this bazaar about two weeks before Hari Raya as I don’t believe in last-minute shopping.

“I want to make sure the best cookies are still available,” he said, adding that his favourites include mini popia and pineapple tarts.

Singaporean housewife Fauziah Mohd Sultan, 52, said that she has been shopping at the bazaar for 10 years and was glad that the quality of cookies had been maintained.

“I have yet to find another place that sells good quality cookies and snacks.

“Shopping here has become something of a tradition for my family,” she said, citing kuih makmur and bahulu as her favourites.
