Sense And Nonsense by Tan Bah Bah
These are some of the supermarkets, convenience stores and neighbourhood provisions shops that I have patronised – Heng Huat store, Lim’s provisions, Ah Woon market, Econ minimarts, mama corner shops, Cold Storage, Fitzpatrick’s, Jason’s, Mustafa, Yaohan, Isetan, Yokoso, My Shop, 7-Eleven, I-tec Supermarket, Carrefour, Giant, Sheng Siong, Prime, Tay Buan Guan, Thai Supermarket , FairPrice . There is a story somewhere for every one of these.
When I was working at Times Periodicals in Thomson Road, I used to drop into the Toa Payoh Welcome outlet almost every day to pick up something on my way home in Paya Lebar. Welcome was very well-stocked, and the prices were affordable. What I liked was that the supermarket then and now was spot on in its offerings – the products as well as the prices. The chain has long gone past the stage of entrenching itself with Singaporeans.
