The Freshest Ingredient Sources
11 August 2009
Ever wondered where chefs get their ingredients from? We pinned down a chef and bribed her with liquor to get the inside scoop for you...
The Best Chicken
Farmed in Malaysia using Japanese techniques, Sakura is antibiotic and growth hormone-free chicken. It's also juicy, tender, silky and very tasty.
Where: NTUC Fairprice. $10 for the whole chicken.
Nuts and Spices
Teck Sang is the place to go to buy nuts and seeds for a good selection at a good price. All spices are kept refrigerated, a bonus in this weather.
Where: Teck Sang No. 11 Hong Kong Street p.6533 1133
From the Farm
There are organic farms here in Singapore such as Greencircle, a biodynamic organic vegetable farm that delivers freshly harvested fruit and veg directly to your home. They have great basil and the best papaya. There is also incredibly tasty fruit and veg grown by Cynthia Hoefer organically in Nepal and flown to Singapore every 2 weeks.
Where: Greencircle.com.sg or email Cynthia Hoefer.
Surf Delivered
For fabulously fresh New Zealand King Salmon that is loaded in omega-3, and incredibly sweet giant Hokkaido scallops, check out Greengrocer.com.sg.
Where: Greengrocer.com.sg p.93253236
Turf Delivered
Vic's Meats is fast getting a name as the place to go for high quality meats. With their succulent steaks and super home delivery service, it's easy to understand why!
Where: Vicsmeats.com.sg p.6753 6900
24 Hour Wholesale
The Pasir Panjang wholesale market is the place to find the freshest products in Singapore as this is their point of entry before being redistributed. We love Zenxin organic at block 14, and the central area block 10 where you can get the freshest mint, eggplant, okra etc...for a fraction of the price!
Where: Block 1-26, Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre. Open Mon-Sat 24hrs
