Food factories in Singapore


Have you ever wondered how your favourite snacks turn up at your grocery stores? Despite what everyone says, sometimes it is cool to know how the sausage is made.

To quell your curiosity, we’ve listed down a couple of food factories in Singapore you didn’t know existed and what you can do or buy there.

A morning cuppa is how most of us start our day, so knowing how the elusive powder gets to us would be worth knowing. Take a step into Ho Tit Coffee Powder Factory, with walls filled with retro coffee shop memorabilia.

Though you won’t see the beans grounded into powder in person, you’ll get a deep dive into the process when you meet the owners Dominic and Cynthia, who’ll leave you with coffee facts galore.

Luckily for us, Ho Tit is not just for looking as you can buy drip coffee packs at the factory. They have a wide selection of coffee powder made from beans from all parts of the world, starting at $17.80/250g.

If you’re planning to head down to the factory, you have to make an appointment in advance, where you can also check for the availability of the items.

3. Fassler


Frozen seafood & in-house smoked salmon


Fassler Gourmet is no stranger to the Singapore food scene, being the first seafood smokehouse in the country and having a wide range of soups. Picture an NTUC that’s just shelves and shelves of seafood, that’s what a trip down to Fassler will look like.

Some notable products from them are their Traditional Smoked Salmon ($16.90/200gm) and sashimi collection, including Yellowtail ($35/500gm).

Aside from all the seafood, the unique soup collection has Beef Borsch Soup ($9.20/500gm) and Premium French Onion Soup ($6.80), which are even served up at restaurants.

Baker’s Oven isn’t your regular bakery, with over 100 goodies like pastries, croissants, and puffs, sold in bulk. They’re sold either baked or frozen, with the latter requiring you to bake them at home. For example, you can buy frozen Chicken Rendang Pies at $81/54 pieces, while their baked counterparts go at $72/30 pieces.

If you’re not party planning, you can still buy smaller amounts of products from them like their colourful Tiger Roll ($15) or decadent, whole Premium New York Cheese Cake ($39).

There isn’t a price difference between ordering on their website or going to their factory, but you could have a better look at each piece you order rather than waiting for delivery. Another plus of going to their factory is that the products will be their freshest considering this is the main outlet.

If you’re planning to visit the factory, you have to call in advance and check on what stock they’ll have when you go.
