Was there about 5.25pm. Car jammed 45mins b4 gg to Carpark A. Went in at 6.10pm and food queues super long and most already waited at least 2 hours.

Left after 20mins. Yes, checked with a guy in the queue and he said he already waited at least 2.5 hours for queue number. After that wait for queue number to be called.

 

Pls dun waste time like me. Nothing special cos i checked out all the stalls. Really mostly local stuff.

 

Safe ride

Cheers

Think go Jewel better than this shilin thing. Lol.

I oso say but if too crowded, good food queues really very long BUT u are definitely more comfy in aircon environment.

 

Please go Jewel instead. Worthwhile and can always go T3 as well via link bridge, less than 5 mins on pmd, i mean travelator. T3 basement eateries on the slide side got moderate facelift.

 

Safe ride and enjoy a good weekend!

Cheers

Poor direction and poor handling of entrance to Shilin Food Market, not suitable for senior folks as some stores require to upload their apps to order the foods, some need to Q to pay by vending machines 1st and wait at least 15-20 mins for a simple pearl bubble tea.

 

Most foods are deep fried or satayed, the Q at least 40mins to an hour of you know where, how to order, the young ppl manning the stores are actually local guy, I think undergrads or poly guys and gals helping out to prepare foods.

 

Worse are directional sign to restrooms,there  were none displayed, Restrooms can be found @Kranji Turf Club area, with poor or made-out signage. Usher/s manning the place were clueless as the crowds can turned nasty, due to heavy downpour earlier hence the floor can be slippery, I overhead a lady attempt to buy an Umbrella cost Sing$40.00- crazy man !

 

Many housewives came with toddler, coupled with strollers and umbrellas, Car park were a complete mess after leaving with only few exit point making a scrambled , lucky no stampede, $3.00 per entry certainly do not make my first trip@Kranji fruitful.

 

Those horse punters came out after 6pm were stunned by the unsightly crowds, if die die must come to the Shilin, take Mrt best. Don't take my words for it, give them some time to work out the logistics and lastly the foods isn't up to my expectation, ( most are deep fried foods, greasy, oily and full of unsaturated fats )  [:|]

This weekend the whole of Singapore will be either at Jewel or this Shilin night market.

Inside Jewel quite crowded, think even worst than during the preview. Esp super crowded at the giant waterfall area, tons of people gather there to see the 5 mins light show!
