Shop, eat and chill at FairPrice Finest in AMK

FairPrice Finest has brought its concept of exclusive products and experiences for the gourmet to the heart of the heartland in Ang Mo Kio.

And it will all be at affordable price points.

The supermarket chain has opened its newest outlet at Block 712 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6.

The two-level store is a one-stop destination for pantry staples, local favourites, ready-to-eat roasts, craft beer and even healthcare products.

Its fresh ambassadors will be on hand to offer cooking advice, and the product offerings promise to be both tasty and good for your health.

There is a Unity pharmacy right within the store, a dedicated noodle shop and for the first time in the heartland, a bar too, where you can wine, dine and chill.

As part of the FairPrice Finest opening special, shoppers can enjoy smart savings with numerous promotions and indulge in some exclusive and often guilt-free goodies.

For instance, there’s Green Rebel Foods providing delicious, meat-free alternatives to local staples such as Chick’N Satay ($10.90, usual price $11.90) and Beefless Rendang ($8.90, usual price $9.90) both till Oct 15.

Their products are certified halal and nut-free, they use sustainably produced Asian-flavoured plant-based meat, and they come in convenient packs that are easy to prepare at home.

For those who work all day and want to provide a warm, home cooked meal for the family in the evening, SINSTANT’s range of Chinese and Asian ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook gourmet meals ($9.80-$26.80, usual price $12.80-$35.80) will do the trick. The promotion is on till Oct 15.

The Grocer Bar

If you want to unwind and relax within the store, this is the place for some specially curated craft beers and light bites.

Now it is also on the second level of FairPrice Finest Ang Mo Kio Block 712, with a cosy dine-in area that can take up to 20 diners.
