No but I am sure on your shopping travels you could ask the locals or you might come across some kitchen shops anyway

Have you tried posting the question on Trip Advisor? I always find I get answers very quickly on the message boards there.

I THINK there is one out at Tampines. It's a fair way out though. I have done a lot of looking when I'm up there but haven't seen any. Most people in Singapore don't prepare food, they eat out all the time as it is so nice and reasonably priced.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Ther will be plenty of maps and guides  available . Just ask the concierge.  They live for questions like that.

Just sent you a PM Hally with the shops I previously sent you.
Just posting on here in case you don't check your email as I have been outand only just got home now.

Have a great trip and enjoy the food. It's a pity we miss each other by a week  :)

Grab a taxi Hally to the places you don't know. Taxis are very reasonable in Singapore.

Taxis are the way to go even with just two persons  :) I rarely use the MRT when there Hally.
Glad you got my email.
Just email if you want anymore restaurant info. And let me know if you discover any new ones.
Enjoy  :)

Love chijmes  :)

Hope you get to Indochine at Clarke Quay.

I can't wait to be there soon. My 1st time at Grand Prix.

Was in Singapore at Grand Prix time 3 years ago. My BF from Scotland met me there to celebrate our birthdays.

It was buzzing but we didn't go to the race.

Will go as we have tickets but see much more on tv.

Hope CP has a great time x 8)
