Online Fresh Food Delivery in Singapore
With #WFH and #HBL plus the Gov’s call to #stayhome during this “circuit breaker” period, many of us will probably be cooking more at home. Unsurprisingly, supplies are somewhat slim at the supermarkets and the queues to enter, and pay, are long. Similarly, online delivery slots for the bigger grocery retailers are filled. If you managed to get a slot, and have received your groceries, congratulations! For the rest, these online fresh food delivery stores can help bring fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and more to your doorstep. We’ll keep adding to the list — let us know if there’s one we should include.
Do remember to buy responsibly, and get only what you need. Finally, be patient if your order takes a little more time to reach you. In the meantime, you can still ‘dabao’ and support local hawkers (#HawkersUnited on Facebook has a good and growing list). Stay calm, mask up, and wash your hands. We’ll get through this together 🙂

EGGS
Frenz Organic Free Range Eggs
Available in Singapore for the first time, Frenz eggs are free range and certified-organic eggs from New Zealand. They come gently washed and UV-sanitised to reduce bacteria like listeria and salmonella, and are also naturally rich in protein, higher in Omega 3s, and have less saturated fats than other eggs. Available at Culina at COMO Dempsey, SuperNature Forum, and SuperNature online.
Web www.supernature.com.sg/index.php
Nuyolksg
The first thing that you notice upon cracking the egg is its intense orange-coloured yolk. This is due to algae and spirulina added to the chicken feed, giving the yolk a nutty aroma, and making it extra thick and creamy. Perfect for making onsen eggs, we say.
Delivery times 10am – 6pm, Mondays to Saturdays
Free delivery for three boxes and above
