Gourmet grocery stores on Fuzzie: A medley of stellar "super" markets to help you save big

Here in Singapore, we're lucky enough to have a supermarket within reach at almost every corner of a neighbourhood. Most of us head to the nearest grocery store—typically a Fairprice, Sheng Siong, or Cold Storage outlet—to stock up on daily essentials.

But when we're looking for something special or out of the blue, it's common that the item will not be readily available at these grocery stores. Just a few years ago, we had an exchange student from Germany back in school. In the process of looking to host a party over a long weekend, he whined  "Where can I find the really good wines and meat?"

Well, if that sounds familiar to you and your local neighbourhood supermarket just isn't cutting it anymore, you'd not want to miss this article. We'll look at some of Fuzzie's top favourites when it comes to gourmet grocery stores.

Gourmet grocery stores open up our world to a whole host of quality products from all around the globe- once you go gourmet, you never go back.

Foodsterr: To achieve your health goals for 2021

The team at Foodsterr has a simple goal, and that is to help you eat better. Here, you'll find top-quality food products that the team has painstakingly scoured from all around the world.

At Foodsterr, even their packaging's well thought out. Specially sourced, the brand's packaging is re-sealable and designed to keep out light and moisture. Labels are waterproof as well, so you'd never have to worry about them disintegrating when they are taken in and out of your fridge. Clearly, Foodsterr prides itself on maintaining the highest standards of quality, freshness, value, and service.

With dried fruits, nuts, granola, oats, seeds, grains, flour, sauces, oil, vinegar, and a whole aisle of organic food, Foodsterr is truly a dream come true for every home cook, baker, fitness junkie, or anyone interested in eating right.

The Dempsey Project: For small-batch artisanal produce

The Dempsey Project is at once a casual dining restaurant and a place for you to get your grocery shopping done. After sinking your teeth into the delightful dishes served at the restaurant, check out their range of products that you can stock up your pantry with.

If you're a fan of the farmer's markets in Australia and Canada, you're going to love the locally crafted condiments, single-origin spices, bronze-died pasta, specialty coffee, and bouncy artisan bread that The Dempsey Project has got to offer.

The team at The Dempsey Project has hand-picked small batches of artisanal produce from all over the world, and you can now buy them right where you dine.

The Meat Club: For quality meat & hormone free chicken from Australia

If you think The Meat Club is an exclusive club for meat lovers to unite in, you're not entirely wrong. The Meat Club is an online butchery, founded to connect customers with fresh, premium quality proteins, sourced from Australia. Through a unique on-demand supply chain model, their products are procured directly from trusted suppliers, vacuum packed and airfreighted to Singapore, then delivered fresh to your doors.

With premium cuts of beef, chicken, fish, pork, and lamb, shopping here would be every carnivore's dream come true. But if you're vegetarian, don't skip through this just yet—The Meat Club offers vegetarian products such as Plant-based Mince, Roast Pumpkin Chickpea Burger Patty, Brown Rice Mushroom Burger Patty, and more.

With air travel bans, we're glad we can still rely on The Meat Club to get gourmet grocery products straight from farmers of Australia to our doors.

Double Chin: For efficient next-day delivery

Double Chin is a brand that takes pride in providing sustainable food at value prices to restaurants and home consumers alike. Here, you'll find fresh seafood, poultry, fruits, and vegetables.

The brand takes its seafood rather seriously. Unlike the usual prawns and fishballs that you'll see at regular supermarkets, Double Chin uniquely offers Flower Crab, Slipper Lobster, Lobster Tail, Premium Abalone, and more. Did we also mention that the fish sold here are cleaned and gutted?

We particularly love that Double Chin offers specialty Japanese products such as A4 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef from Japan, Tuna Saku Sashimi, and Tako Wasabi. The brand even offers free delivery for orders above $50. If you urgently need to stock up on food, you'd love that Double Chin is highly efficient: Orders made before 10 PM will be sent out the next business day.

With such a wide variety of food options, we'd very likely end up with a double chin if we're not careful.

Dish the Fish: Heaven for seafood lovers

Dish the Fish specializes in the sale of fresh seafood. A New Age Fishmonger, this brand is widely featured on social media for its cutting edge approach to selling good old fish.

You can rest assured knowing that your Dish the Fish purchase does not contain any impurities or contaminants that you should be worried about.

A quick scroll through Dish the Fish's site and I thought to myself "I never knew there were that many breeds of fish that we can cook". You'll find Threadfin, Cod, Salmon, Chilean Seabass, Pomfret, Grouper, and so much more at Dish the Fish.

We also heard that the team is extremely friendly. So, don't be afraid to ask them how best to cook the fish that you bought. They'd probably inspire you with a new recipe or two to try out at home.

CP Foods: Nutritious ready-to-eat meals

This next one is a familiar household name to most of us. CP Foods is a brand that is dedicated to providing high quality, nutritious, hygienic and safe ready-to-eat meals to consumers.

Let's face it, most of us have the impression that ready-to-eat meals are subpar and would only opt for it if we had no other choice. But my first encounter with CP Foods changed my mind. My friend prepared a bowl of Shrimp Wonton and I was surprised at the level of quality that this box of ready-to-eat meal offered.

Since then, I turned to CP Foods frequently for their wide range of products. You'll find Glass Noodle with Baked Shrimps, Fried Beehoon, Fish Tomyum Hotpot, Spaghetti, and even Nasi Lemak at CP Foods.

Beyond just ready-to-eat meals that are perfect for those who are lazy to cook a full meal, CP Foods offer fresh food such as Beef, Chicken, Pork, Duck, and Seafood as well. Those who miss their Dim Sum runs will also love that CP Foods offers Prawn Har Gao, Salted Egg Custard Bun, Siew Mai, Loh Mai Gai, and other Dim Sum must-haves.

Complete your meal with a wide assortment of desserts like vegan coconut ice cream and Brown Sugar Boba ice cream.

Here, you'll find fancy Delicatessen like Caviar and Salmon, Charcuterie, Truffle, Foie Gras, and more food that we struggle to pronounce. You'd also find meat and poultry, seafood, pasta, oils, vinegars, sauces, bread, honey, and jams, as well as desserts.

Cheese lovers will be filled with glee when they see Ferrari Food + Wine's cheese selection. They offer various types of cheese from Italy, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, and Greece. It doesn't get any feta (better) than this.

Established in 2014, Wine & Whisky is a Singapore-based importer/distributor of rare and fine wine and whisky. The team takes pride in maintaining an inventory that is focused on unique and highly coveted labels, achieved through years of establishing and maintaining solid relationships with boutique winemakers from France, Spain, Italy, as well as reputable suppliers of some of the rarest Scotch and Japanese whiskies available.

Volvic: For natural mineral water

We'll end this list by going back to the basics: water. While some of you may be wondering why there would be a need to include bottled water 0n this list, others will completely understand. If you belong to the latter group, you probably understand what I mean when I say that bottled water can taste funny sometimes.

If you'd like to put an end to your search for good and pure bottled water, Volvic is a brand worth trying. Volvic water is drawn from the heart of the Parc Naturel des Volcans d'Auvergne in central France. A protected environment, the area is free from industry and intensive farming.

Extremely pure and distinctly different, Volvic water is drawn from deep inside the lush, green ancient volcanoes of the Auvergne in France. No one needs a water filter with Volvic water: it's naturally filtered for five years through six layers of volcanic rock. Experience the treasure of the volcano today.
