Whether you’re a new expat here or you’re moving here soon, you’ve probably heard “Cold Storage” or “FairPrice” being mentioned in terms of supermarkets in Singapore. In fact, there are plenty of grocery stores and supermarkets here for picking up quality produce – and online groceries for delivery if that’s easier. Some focus on price (cheap), others specialise in premium meat, international fresh fruit or organic choices.
Grocery Stores, Online Groceries and Supermarkets in Singapore
Little Farms
Singapore has seen a growing demand for artisanal, curated, all-natural food offerings in recent years, and Little Farms has been continuously expanding to meet that demand, following the opening of its first store in Valley Point Shopping Centre in February 2016. Buying directly from farms and suppliers where possible, the company has built long-standing relationships with independent suppliers and farmers, so it can ensure peak freshness and full traceability are maintained from farm to store.
Over the years, this approach – and the unique selection of products on offer – has won Little Farms plenty of fans, from parents to millennials and other food-loving, health-conscious consumers looking to stock their kitchens with delicious and nutritious items. The handselected range of pantry and fresh produce includes organic, glutenfree, free-range, vegan and ketogenic offerings, sold in convenient locations around Singapore as well as online.
Sasha’s Fine Foods
Singapore’s first online grocer, Sasha’s Fine Foods has continually delivered an extensive range of carefully sourced, quality products from farmers, fisheries and producers in Singapore and across the world.
The website is also designed with the customer in mind, allowing for a stress-free shopping experience. Recent upgrades include being able to add to your order after you’ve checked out, the ability to purchase directly from their extensive recipe pages and even faster same day delivery and dietary filters.
The quality of produce at Sasha’s is matched by the quality of delivery. You can order before 1pm for delivery before dinner in convenient carbon-neutral delivery slots where you’ll be told the exact time of arrival and when your goodies are on the way!
Avo & Co.
Avo & Co. was started by two brothers back in 2017 after they found that the fresh produce on offer simply wasn’t up to their standards! In addition to poor quality vegetables, they felt that there was a lack of variety, so they set out to offer a more interesting selection.
While you can shop for specific fruits and vegetables, decision-weary customers can opt for a weekly box that features exciting combinations of seasonal produce – you can even select specific Asian and organic vegetable options.
The seasonal boxes are incredibly flexible and you can pause orders at any time and even swap out items that you’re not so keen on. The other good news is that Avo & Co. uses environmentally-friendly paper packaging.
OpenTaste – organic groceries at good prices
This online platform acts as a “global farmer’s market”, giving consumers in Singapore the opportunity to shop everything from coconuts from Thailand to pasta from Italy, alongside grass-fed Australian beef cuts and the makings of a charcuterie board straight from Spain. What’s more, the products are sold at a wholesale rate. Though the site doesn’t offer every single item you’d need in your daily life (you’ll have to order your bulk toilet paper elsewhere!), the website does have a broad range of fresh, perishable products, both organic and non-organic, at hard-to-resist prices.
After your order is placed, OpenTaste collects the products from producers worldwide. Once in Singapore, each customer’s order is repacked at a collection centre before delivery. Your order is delivered to your doorstep within 36 hours of placing your order.

Shopping tips for Supermarkets in Singapore

• In the seafood section, the fresh fish can be prepared to your liking. If you choose a whole fish, ask for it to be cleaned (gutted) and/or filleted. The bones will be returned to you with the fish.
