    Pantry Magic at Chip Bee Gardens; about $10 a couple of years ago. Still in good working condition. Comes with a brush to clean the inside which I use to clean inlet and outlet tubes.

    Re: Where to get a turkey baster?

    I went to a shop in Chinatown (one of the streets or lanes around Temple Street) which sells pots, baking things, etc. The staff did not understand "turkey baster" and I had a hard time explaining the use, describing it, etc. Finally gave up. It is not commonly used here as we don't roast on pans like they do in the west. I see Phoon Huat is also in Chip Bee Gardens so you might want to try it first or at least compare prices since it is walking distance.

    The staff at Pantry Magic knew what it was immediately. In fact, I called. They set it aside for me to pick up. They have a website as well. Do a search.

    Re: Where to get a turkey baster?

    If it's turkey baster that is used for feeding fries (squirting BBS) and syphoning of dirt/waste from gravel that you are referring, there's a cheap one that I bought recently from DAISO (under Plastics / Kitchen ware section) at Plaza Singapura - only $2. Though it's only made of soft translucent plastic, it still works good for me . Bro, I can post photo of it if you are interested in getting it as it's bit difficult to find there if you don't know the appearance.

    Thanks fisherw,bryan and mikhail for the very useful info. Save me sometime to search around. Using it for feeding fries and perhaps removing fries from the tank.

    If the intention is to feed BBS, then the one I have is too big. You should consider an eye-dropper instead.

    bro, attached is photo of the plastic turkey baster purchased from DAISO for your reference (phone is there for size comparison). I don't want you to go searching there without at least give you visual details. And if this is not what you want, right away you can decide not to look for this in Daiso - saves you time and effort. Anyway, I am using this for feeding fries (effective in controlling the amount of BBS to drop) and cleaning any left over food or waste. I have not tried syphoning the fries using this though the fries should fit in. I used air line tube for syphoning the fries last time, I think more faster as this instrument is limited in quantity of water able to sucked in. You may need to do several rounds of syphoning if your brood is large. Cheers

    Nobody knows where to get the larger version with the rubber 'ball' at the end?

    The one I bought from Pantry Magic is like the oxo pictured. Capacity looks bigger, non-breakable material, detachable bulb for easy washing. As mentioned earlier, comes with a brush (inserted inside).

    Hopefully the JB robbers don't get inspired by this piece of news, else next time you go JB you might be robbed with a turkey baster.

    Better call them before you rushed down, as fisherw brought his few years back.

    It is across the road from what most people consider Holland Village proper. Cross the road at the corner where the newsagent selling a wide range of magazines is. It is on the row where the Italian restaurant is; if I am not wrong, it is the corner shop. Can't miss it, big shop front.

    Yes, good idea to call.
