Now that makes more sense. I was reading it and was like, "carnflour? what Indian ingredient is that?"wannamove wrote:Corn Flour is also called corn starch and usually found near the baking products at Fair Price and Cold Storage.
You can also get Indian goods delivered at your home from few stores if you do not want to make the trek to Little India
You can find most spices in cold storage - they have a huge rack full of them in orchard centrepoint, bugis, and also great world city.Sarah Boys wrote:Hi there - my partner and I have arrived in Singapore. I look cooking but have found it difficult to find all the spices I used to have back home (we cook a lot of Indian - oddly enough I thought that wouldn't be a problem here!). Does anyone know a good place to buy all spices? Is it best to go to Little India for this? And where does one find carnflour - I have searched in fariprice, cold storage etc and found nada... any suggestions would be gratefully received!!
Many thanks.

Singapore gets better spices from India than Malaysians get .. or Mr Mushtaq has found ways to ship them to Singapore faster ..the lynx wrote:I'd question that statement. How is it possible?

That's where we differ - I'd rather pay another $50 dollars on my shopping bill and avoid that place like the plague!ecureilx wrote:In another post, I did mention a local who swore that he will never be seen in Mustafa .. and guess who I see at midnight hour one day ??
Well, Mustafa, what's wrong with the place ?
I know enough Malaysians who take the trip across the causeway to get spices and stuff in Mustafa ..
Of course, if you go there on a Sunday, it is jam packed .. and it is a world apart ..
Go there on a week day ..
Actually, you will be amazed to see the amount of non-Indians who are causing a ruckus there .. on weekdays.
Oh, a little trivia: ask a Bangladeshi and he will say Mustafa is a Bangladeshi. Ask a Pakistani and he will swear that Mustafa is a Pakistani .. not many will accept that said owner of Mustafa is from India
of course, avoid Mustafa if you don't want to save money
