If you didn't already know (you must!), Sheng Siong supermarket is a Singaporean home-grown supermarket enterprise well known for its low-cost, no frills approach to the staples in Singaporean living.
It's recently made its way to the expat sites in Singapore, so I think the cat is well out of the bag. Joy of joys, they've recently been happily opening franchise branches all over the island, starting from their very first in my sister in law's homeland in Bedok.
These days, they're very good for fresh produce (poultry and meats, fish and vegetables) at prices hovering around wet market levels, but with the added convenience and comfort of air-conditioning and upper levels of dry goods and other household items.
I especially love their cartons of soft drinks for stocking up on my regular staples: Coke and Pokka Unsweetened Oolong tea. Also available for about $10 for a carton of 24 are Pokka Lemon and Calamansi, Kickapoo Joy Juice and the good ol' Schweppes ranges. Ice Mountain retail for about $6.90 per box of 24 bottles, much cheaper than the equivalent price from a petrol station of about $24.
