With your few hours of downtime, do you really want to spend it standing in line at the grocery store? We guessed so! We say take a break with these digital supermarkets which deliver both fresh and non-perishable produce straight to your door for your perfect home-cooked meal.
Ryan’s Grocery
Named after the founders’ son (who’s intolerant of dairy products, amongst others), Ryan’s Grocery isn’t just a gourmet butcher with quality organic and free-range meats – it also houses a wide selection of wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and preservative-free goods, including superfoods, organic greens and meats, healthy snacks and more. Did we say meats? Yes, the meats here are exquisite. From carbon-neutral beef to free-range pork, you can get it all delivered fresh with just a click of a button. Plus, enjoy free delivery everyday for orders above $150!
FairPrice Online
Now with online shopping and delivery, Fairprice has become a force to be reckoned with. They’re a household name, having been around for 20 years, so these guys know exactly what we need (or want) at home. You can even get home appliances delivered to your doorstep.
Market Fresh
Fans of wet market produce but not the actual locale? Forget about navigating through wet floors, persistent vendors and the chaotic atmosphere with Market Fresh. This online wet market offers fresh picks like seafood, poultry, fruits and even DIY yong tau foo ingredients! From wet market to table? That’s a movement we can get behind.
Sasha’s Fine Foods
Founder Sasha Conlan started out by sourcing top-notch produce she was missing when she moved to Singapore and is also passionate about providing local families with hormone and antibiotic-free meat that’s entirely traceable. We’re impressed by the imported and local produce such as New Zealand grass-fed beef, hormone and antibiotic-free chicken, juices, vegan yoghurt and ready-to-eat meals for those who are not into pottering around in the kitchen.
Shiok Farm
Thanks to founder Claire Chabrieres, we get fresh organic fruits and veggies weekly in the office which are sourced from farmers across Southeast Asia such as Thailand and Malaysia. You too can jump on the organic foods bandwagon with the affordable monthly subscription plans starting from $268 a week for 5kg worth of goodies. And hey, if you’re a wino, they offer biodynamic wine boxes as well.
RedMart
Going to the grocery store, waiting in lines, and lugging heavy grocery bags home is a real pain. That’s why this digital supermarket is our saviour. With a huge selection of household essentials, groceries, and personal care products, and with flexible delivery time slots, you can forget about hitting up supermarkets.
Amazon.sg
Gone are the days of using your precious weekends to stock up on groceries. Thanks to this retail behemoth, you’ll be striking items off your grocery lists in record time from the comforts of your bed. And if you’ve got specific dietary needs – organic, cruelty-free and kosher, you name it – you’ll find a mind-boggling range of food here unlike the limited selection found in local supermarkets.
Open Taste
Get a taste of farm-fresh produce in bulk with Open Taste. Procuring vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood from farms worldwide, the prices are substantially cheaper than supermarkets.

pandamart
Brought to you by the people behind foodpanda, this digital mart has partnered with bigwig retailers like Cheers and FairPrice Xpress to bring you groceries and household essentials all in one nifty app. And the best part?

Avo and Co.
Tired of picking groceries? Founders Clement and Cedric have made online grocery shopping easy-peasy. All you have to do is take your pick from the well-curated vegetable and fruits box sets that will suit your household. They even have a box for carnivores – grass-fed and grain-fed cattle from Australia and New Zealand and probiotic chicken from Malaysia. Alternatively, you can build your own box and add eggs and cheeses to it. A well-balanced diet is just a click away…
Cold Storage
They’re known as the fresh food people but Cold Storage is also the first grocer in Singapore to launch a mobile app. Choose from delicatessen, meat, poultry, alcoholic beverages, and non-food items – their lists are so extensive, you’ll feel like you’re walking down its cold aisles in person.
The Fishwives
With a staunch ethos of providing perishables sans chemicals, additives and GMOs, this online emporium only offers clean and fresh food. From salmon and prawns to Mozart-listening chickens and Australian wagyu, and even a dedicated vegan tab, there’s something for everyone. The catalogue is updated frequently, so do keep a lookout for new food items. Delivery is free for orders over $150.
QB Food
Offering premium goods from brands like Butterball Turkeys, Johnsonville Sausages and Granarolo Italian Cheese, QB Food delivers a range of fresh produce, custom cut meats and a variety of cheeses at the lowest price possible, with free delivery over $95.
Purely Fresh
Working directly with international farmers and distributors, the products delivered to your doorstep are completely fresh. And if you’re not satisfied with your product, not to worry; you’ll be refunded as part of the Purely Fresh guarantee. This online grocery store delivers from Tuesdays to Sundays with free delivery for orders over $80.
Little Farms
Don’t let the moniker fool you as it’s inventory is far from little. Consistently impressing with its array of fresh and ethically-sourced produce, you can fill your e-basket with assorted fruits and vegetables, gourmet goodies and free-range poultry. Shopping here is also easy on the wallet – with no middleman (produce is bought directly from farms and suppliers), costs are thankfully kept low.
Huber’s Butchery
If you’ve ever eaten at Huber’s Butchery and Bistro at Dempsey, you know that the produce here is amongst the best you’ll find on the island. This European-style butcher flies in its premium meat and makes its famous gourmet sausages on-site. What we love: Huber’s ‘no-fuss’ grill platter, which comes with marinated ribeye, lamb cutlets, spicy Italian and chicken-cheese sausages. Barbecue planning is done and dusted and delivered to your door.
Straits Market
Purists can get their fill of organic food from Straits Market. Billing itself as a grocer that delivers right after harvest – about one-day lead time – you can be sure that you’ll be getting only the freshest produce from farms. Staying true to it’s claim, be mindful that delivery days are only on Tuesday and Friday.
SuperNature
Fans of the organic lifestyle, rejoice! Your search for organic products is now much easier with SuperNature. Get ready to shop for gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or wheat-free products, and even organic beauty products. We also love that SuperNature stocks hard-to-find veggies like the elusive kale. For easy convenience, just order a farmbox!
