I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I never miss a visit to the local supermarket!

Walking down the aisles of the supermarket is always an adventure: we get to experience local life and rub shoulders (often literally) with locals, but most of all, we get to bring a taste of the country weI just visited, with us, back to share with our loved ones!

Things may get a little confusing when you’re surrounded by so many food items. It helps to know what’s available so you know what to look out for. Here are some of our favourites we recommend you pick up during your Singapore supermarket haul!
