Short excursion to Singapore

This time round, we didn't plan to visit the hot spots in Singapore.. we're going to be more adventurous by exploring what and where local people go for their daily grocer. We set the GPS to East Point Mall because Eighteen Chef where we planned to have our special arrangement lunch is located here. East Point Mall is surrounded by apartments..
Let see, what have we discovered... We went to local supermarket named FairPrice. I got very excited looking at the groceries...

First, went to bread section... Yes I saw Gardenia.. but none of which I found back home in Malaysia. Totally different packaging, more variety and halal certified.
*
*
They do sell Focaccia bread... my car smells herbs for 2 days.. Perfect bread for sandwiches...
*
*
Premium bread from Gardenia...
*
*
*
and I bought this for my kiddos..
more flavours available
*
*
and juices
*
*
*
Medley Potatoes
Mixed of potatoes from each types and colours
*
*
*
and fruits
something which I regret.
I didn't bought more of this plum
very cheap and so sweet...
SGD2.00 for 500grams
*
*
Olive oil
and
Jam and spread
 
*
*
*
what have we got
*
*
*
checking out before we get carried away
*
*
Catch of the day.. so happy.. no worries.. we have ample space for this.
*
*
*
Then to IKEA at Tampines
*
*
*
*
then to Sim Lim Square.. a shopping mall selling all those latest IT gadgets. cannot delete something from my mind. Samsung Galaxy Tab...(nyesal tak grab)..  price cheaper by about RM1,200 from Malaysia...
*
*
getting around in Singapore
Stop and Snap
