Naturally Marketplace by Cold Storage

supermarket entrance

Vivocity is a H-U-G-E mall with two supermarkets to boot.

One of them is by Cold Storage and it's simply named, "Naturally Marketplace". It's well stocked with plenty of imported and organic products. I had a field day when I dropped by recently. The entire place is just filled with so many yummy goodies that I just wished I owned the entire supermarket.

I'll let the photos speak for themselves:

Lotsa cans

Plenty of cans all stacked in neat rows. What a sight!


herbs and spices

Herbs and spices galore. Take your pick...


Chocolate

Green & Black's chocolate! Oh, and this supermarket has meaningful stickers stuck onto the shelves and even the fridges:

How cool is that? And look at the number of tall fridges they have.. Alot of the stuff here cannot be found elsewhere.

Here's the dairy section. I only managed to capture half of it in one shot. That's how big it is.

Dairy Section

This is one gorgeous supermarket. It's just so spacious and neat. Oh, and it's really cold too. They carry brands like Waitrose and Freedom Foods. Yea, this is where I got those healthy chips! The ones I asked you to guess. Want to know the answer? Only one of you got the right answer - Shirley :)

Those chips are actually made from Chickpeas! Yep. Those are really healthy chickpea chips. You know the kacang puteh that used to be sold in paper cones? Yea, the chips are made from those. They taste really healthy too if you know what I mean. Quite bland. But hey, at least it's healthy! I think it's good for when you want to munch on something just for fun.

Speaking of healthy. Geez, I've been having buffet for dinner the past two nights. Yesterday it was Kuishinbo and the night before, it was Ellenbourough Market Cafe at Swissotel Merchant Court. Both buffets were fantastic. Only took photos at Kuishinbo. It was my first time there and it was great! Whatever it is, I'm staying off buffets for a while. My stomach needs a rest...

  1. I have been to both buffets before. Geez. :P

    Till this day, Kuishinbo is on my top-list for any buffet especially when it comes to authentic and fresh japanese food. Glad u like it too.

    Did you try the jackfruit creme brulee at Ellenbourough Market Cafe? It's fantastic and not forgetting their durian..yum!!

  2. Pictures look like Whole Foods Market in the US where they sell only natural and organic products.

  4. I also have to agree that I'm a fan of Kuishinbo. It offers a pretty good jap buffet. As for Ellenbourough Market Cafe, I remember their durian pengat. So sinfully rich!

  7. Am also a fan of Kuishinbo and Ellenbourough buffets. Kuishinbo- if you love sashimi, crabs (cold dishes) and Nabe (hot dishes). The grilled fish and deep-fried soft-shell crab are also good.
    I remember the black pepper crayfish in Ellenborough.

  8. Now i SO can't wait to get back to singapore.

    Surprisingly, the Green&Black's chocolates are going at roughly about the same price as they are in Melbourne, exchange rate considered =)
