Thai Supermarket at Aperia Mall represents Singapore's first and only authentic Thai supermarket, serving the community since 1985 and recently relocating from its historic Golden Mile Complex home to a modern 6,000 square foot space in Aperia Mall. This landmark move marks the first time in 38 years that the supermarket has operated outside of "Little Thailand," bringing enhanced accessibility and expanded offerings to Thai cuisine enthusiasts across Singapore. The new location features 90% Thai-manufactured products compared to 70% at the previous location, ensuring customers access the most authentic Thai ingredients, snacks, and specialty items unavailable elsewhere in Singapore.
The comprehensive store layout spans multiple sections including instant noodles, snacks, condiments, beverages, coffee and tea, canned goods, spices, flour, and fresh vegetables, with specialty products like Chang Espresso Beer, unique Lays flavors (Boat Noodles, Stir Fried Shrimp with Chilli & Garlic), Vitamilk, Koh Kae peanuts, and authentic Thai teas. The market features a dedicated fresh food section with vegetables and fruits, plus lifestyle products including goat milk collagen soaps and coconut soaps. Additionally, the entrance hosts a 64-seat dine-in food court operated by Folks Collective & Slurp Noodle Bar, featuring four Thai stalls serving dishes like pad thai, boat noodles, and Yaowarat-style buns by Yung Yung, creating a complete Thai culinary experience.
Located at 12 Kallang Avenue #01-20 Aperia Mall, just steps from Lavender MRT station, Thai Supermarket operates Monday and Wednesday-Sunday from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Tuesday from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM. This strategic location provides convenient access for both Thai expatriates seeking familiar flavors and Singaporeans exploring authentic Thai cuisine. With its combination of comprehensive grocery selection, fresh ingredients, prepared foods, and dine-in options, Thai Supermarket serves as the definitive destination for authentic Thai products and culinary experiences in Singapore.
The food wasn't very authentic, prices were quite high, and portions were small. I tried the green curry and phad see ew, for which I had very high expectations. However, the phad see ew was very disappointing; it was lacking in taste, a far cry from the ones I had in Thailand. The green curry was average; a positive was that it wasn't too sweet. Also, their green curry doesn't come with rice, so be sure to order it separately.
I found that the items on their menu offer an option to choose added ingredients (e.g., chicken, prawn), but at rather steep price increments. The default option for the dish is vegetarian, which by itself is already not cheap.
Overall, this place doesn't serve authentic Thai food. I'd recommend going elsewhere to get your Thai food fix if you're craving it.

Found it by accident. Went inside out of curiosity. I'm somewhat familiar with Thai food. I bought a few items I'm familiar with. Staff were helpful, and the store is very well organized. A one-stop shop for Thai and some Vietnamese products. However, I find their pricing high, and I may be able to find some of their items in other Asian stores.

Pretty well-stocked, with a wide variety of fresh, authentic Thai delights and brands. There are a few food kiosks operating as well, which serve authentic Thai food and beverages, snacks, desserts, etc. Thai Banana seems to be the most popular stall. A small Thai cafe/restaurant is also situated just outside the supermarket. Staff are very helpful in helping you navigate the premises, and clear directions are provided through signage.

A new and clean supermarket that has a large variety of Thai products. I come here to buy ingredients whenever I want to cook Thai food. It's just a little more expensive, but the cost isn't prohibitive.
If you drive, Aperia Mall's parking rate is decent too.

This Thai Supermarket is a treasure trove of exotic delights. From fresh produce to rare spices and ready-made Thai delicacies, it is a paradise for food enthusiasts. The organized layout and helpful staff ensure an enjoyable shopping experience for both Thai cuisine aficionados and curious explorers.

Fantastic Thai Supermarket, and possibly the only supermarket that is focused on delivering Thai products, including fresh produce.
While the fresh produce selection is not vast or diverse, it is still amazing. Here I found galangal, Chinese broccoli, used in Thai cooking, taro, banana heart, fresh young peppercorns, Thai basil, sweet basil, and eggplants of various shapes, amongst other vegetables.
You can find Thai chili flakes here. In addition, you can find coconut vinegar, fried garlic pearls, ginger powder, a huge selection of Thai pastes, and an equally huge selection of Thai noodles.
The supermarket is now also selling Vietnamese products.

Decent Thai supermarket stocking authentic Thai products, spices, ingredients, and even self-care items! It even houses its own fried Thai banana shop.
I visited the newly relocated Thai Supermarket, which was originally from Golden Mile. It is now located in Aperia Mall, which used to be rather quiet. I believe the mall will be busier now with the influx of shops from Golden Mile.
The supermarket stocks many Thai products and a wide variety of Thai condiments that are not easily found in regular supermarkets. I love that they stock some self-care items, which I previously had to travel to Golden Mile to purchase. Shopping aisles are slightly more cramped compared to the previous location, which seemed to have a bigger area. So, be mindful not to bump into other patrons.
The fried banana shop had quite a long queue. The fried banana was fried to a crisp and wasn't too mushy. Be prepared to wait if you intend to queue for them, but you will be rewarded when you get the bag of fried bananas in your hands!

Visited this Thai Supermarket which sells authentic Thai products alongside some Vietnamese items.
A wide variety of snacks and instant noodles are available.
The Fried Banana Stall near the payment counter is always packed with people queuing. The Fried Banana and Fried Yam are highly recommended. They are crispy with a sesame taste. Love them and will queue for them when the queue is not too long.
The restaurant outside is also not bad.

Feels like you’re in Thailand! This is the one-stop supermarket for all your Thai groceries, snacks, fruits, and more. They also have small stalls selling Thai food and snacks, including the famous Thai Talad Banana, as well as a nail salon. The place is huge, neat, clean, and tidy. They also have a Vietnamese section.
Definitely worth checking out if you’re a big fan of all things Thai!
P.S.: They also have my favourite snack: banana chips sandwiched with passionfruit jam. It’s so good! 😌👍

Sawadee Ka. Welcome to the Thai Supermarket 🇹🇭 at Aperia Mall.
Besides the usual supermarket items and regular Thai stuff, the supermarket also carries a lot of Thai vegan/vegetarian items (those indicated as Vegan/Vegetarian/齋/เจ on the packaging): various pastes, sauces, canned foods, spreads, and snacks. Truly a wonderful place for vegans/vegetarians.
Halal products are available too.
The Thai supermarket also carries some Vietnamese stuff (including vegan/vegetarian items).

What’s not to love? Access to fresh Thai produce right in my backyard! I’m only starting to appreciate how exceptional this is.
I’ll be a regular here for all my Thai fusion cooking ambitions.
The mere possibility of hopping over to get very reasonably priced fresh herbs is priceless. 🥰🥰🥰

Browsing the supermarket while waiting for my fried banana snacks. Items here are well laid out, and lighting is bright. Good place to shop if you need Thai snacks and groceries.

The original Thai supermarket that moved from Golden Mile Complex to Aperia Mall. It's now sleeker and neater, feeling like an upmarket grocer. I prefer exploring at the old location for Thai ingredients that cannot be found elsewhere; the experience feels more authentic and less curated. Nonetheless, it's still an interesting supermarket to shop for vegetarian ingredients! After checkout, you can buy the fried banana fritters!

If you’re a noodle lover, this place is a must-visit. They have an amazing variety of noodle brands and flavours from all over—perfect for trying something new each time.
Prices are a bit on the higher side.

It's a Thai supermarket, well-stocked with food items from Thailand. There are many types of Thai spices and ready-to-eat packaged foods.
