Singapore Off the Beaten Path Tips by moomoos

"Farm-mart is a place where you to trade and promote their products in the module. Each module is a miniature plot, representing individual and specialty farm at other parts of Singapore. Farmers can bring their best produce to the mini plot located in each of the module thus making it a trading center. Not only can they sell and promote their own produce, they can also make it a showcase to display the technology employed. The activities from these mini units / plots will cover many items ranging from vegetable farm, local seasonal fruits, flowers, horticultural crafts, pet stations, hobby fishes and many more.

At the Fishing Village, you can sit and relax under the small huts, and enjoy a good view with the ponds and water sounds all around you. You can also try catching some prawns or fishes too here. Or simply watch others do so."

If you're sick of the shopping, and just feel like catching a fish or two....or a prawn...come here. They have a few petshops here which could entertain your kids (or wife) while you do your 'man thing' with the locals.
