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.

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

This concept of an in-store bar was pioneered at FairPrice Finest The Centrepoint to overwhelming response.

The freshly cooked hot finger foods available include the addictively crisp Truffle Fries ($4), Bread Geso Karaage ($5) and Tofu Nugget ($5).

Those who love a frothy pint, but are watching their calories, can enjoy the low-carb beer on tap (474ml, two glasses for $10 till Dec 31, usual price $16).

Or you can step into the Beer, Wine and Spirits area of the store, right beside the bar, for a variety of alcoholic beverages to suit your palate.
