Korean Supermarkets In Singapore

I didn't realise that I have so much traffic for this particular post. It goes to show how popular Korean food is, and there are so many of us out there craving for it. Here is a list of places where you can raid, armed with your wallets. (Psssst...You can also get Korean eggs in local supermarkets)

The list is not exhaustive of course.
Please feel free to email me other info that you would like to share with all Korean-loving Singaporeans.

For Korean Recipes, you can visit :
1.Beyond Kimchi provides very pictoral instructions how to impress your family with delicious Korean meals.
2.Maangchi uploads vlogs that are so so helpful when trying to equally impress the same family.
3. My Korean Kitchen shared her take on traditional and fusion Korean food that she prepared for her family.

Singapore 199597
Tel: 62968541
Opening hours: 10am -9.30pm

Click
here for map. Thanks to Blog Reader Ian for the info.
Important Point: ATM Machines available in Keypoint are UOB and POSB (Located next to the store - Thanks to Blog Reader Neni for this very important info *^^*)

Aini's Thoughts: I made a trip recently to replenish my Korean ingredients. The shop is well stocked - more orderly than the one at Burlington Square. Friendly shop assistants.

A Note for Drivers: The carpark is really weird. Hourly parked cars can only park on Levels 8 onwards. And the lift lobby is on level 4 , so u gotta walk down (and later up) 4 levels to get out of the carpark. So if u have difficulties climbing stairs..... go elsewhere to get your Korean stuff.

Aini's thoughts: You won't get to hear Korean being spoken in stereo here. But the mart is stocked to the brim. Whatever you want, you can find here. I love the huge selection of kim there.


Important Point: Bring cash. There's no NETS facility here and the nearest ATM machine is kinda far.

Important to note: This is an online shop. The address above is a warehouse. Although you can visit the warehouse to purchase, you would need to take note of the opening hours and bring cash. The nearest ATM machine (POSB) is either at Causeway Point or at a HDB block quite far away.
