Hi guys,
My wife and I will be moving to Singpore from Melbourne. My company is paying to move my entire household and I need to know the following:
1. What's the average size of a master bedroom? this will determine the furniture we will take. We currently have a king bed with side tables and a tall boy. We can easily place an additional queen size blow up bed in the bedroom if we needed to. Hoping I can find the same space.
2. Our diet is a bit restricted (no shellfish, pork and limited red meat) so we are planning on buying a few times to take with us, for example (spelt milk, spelt flour, vegan protein powder, etc). Would there be any import restrictions?
3. I was told poppy seeds is a no no but are there any other restrictions on food items, etc. We have a few bottles of wine (nothing expensive) but I'm told by our shipper that we will have to pay duty on them.
Thanks in advance.
Wayne

Re: Relocating from Australia to Singapore
Bedrooms are definitely tighter on space - if you might be able to rent a 1 or 2 bed condo with a big master room.
Importing food is generally ok. I would not bother with wine and duty It's almost on par price wise here anyways these days. Leave it with friends to evaporate.

Definitely will not be able to fit a king and queen in the room, furniture wise I think it would be cheaper to just buy / look for fully furnished units in sg?
There're plenty of houses here that provide furniture so you can skip on bringing those

Re: Relocating from Australia to Singapore
Hi Kaitme,
I don't plan to put two beds in a room. Just need to know if the rooms are big enough for a King Bed. The reference to a queen bed is for the space left after the King has been placed in the room.
