Grocery shopping in Singapore: Part 2 – Unique, artisan & online grocers

Grocery shopping in Singapore: Part 2 - Unique, artisan & online grocers

These are grocers with usually just a single storefront or none at all, operating purely online. They’ve got stuff you don’t see at your regular supermarket chains. From exotic spices to one-click shopping, to Japanese delicacies, this is your artisan and online grocery shopping guide. Since some of these exotic ingredients and fresh food are uncommon in our everyday supermarkets (Check out our supermarket guide here), we’re here to make the hard-to-find easy.

Single Stores.

Mustafa.

Mustafa sells you everything from aeroplane tickets, to branded watches, and goodies you see in every supermarket. The enormous supermarket is located in the hub of Little India, you can expect mobs of human traffic fighting their way through Mustafa for the goods that are cheap and rare. They also have a large variety of spices and herbs. Mustafa unfortunately, does not offer an online shopping option. Want to live right by this incredible shopping experience?
