Spice Shops: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Singapore cooks reach for spices constantly, from rempah for rendang and laksa to garam masala for biryani and whole star anise for braises. Where you buy them matters, because a heritage blender, a bulk wholesaler and an online Indian grocer each suit a different kitchen. This guide covers six places that sell whole spices, ground spices, masalas or pastes, drawn from what each business publishes on its own website, with notes on how each one sells. Then use the buying checklist at the end to decide between a stall visit, an online order and a trade enquiry, whether you cook for a family or for a small food business.

1. Anthony The Spice Maker

Anthony The Spice Maker is a Chinatown specialist whose site presents it as a maker of Singapore-style spice blends and seasoning rubs. Its catalogue lists curry powder, five-spice, a bak kut teh spice mix and single herbs and spices such as black pepper, mustard seeds and bay leaf, plus gift sets. The site names two retail stalls, one at People's Park Food Centre and one at Chinatown Complex, each with its own published days and hours, so check them before travelling because the stalls do not trade every day. It also runs an online shop with no minimum order, and says free local shipping applies above a stated spend. It describes its recipes as handed down through generations, its own account.

2. Jeya Spices

Jeya Spices describes itself as a third-generation spice trader that began in 1947 and now mills spices in small batches at a production facility in Mandai, where its site says more than 150 blends can be produced. The online shop groups products into wet pastes and rempahs such as curry, rendang, laksa and sambal, dry blends such as rasam, sambar, garam masala and briyani powder, whole spices and pure spice powders, with some pantry staples alongside. Its contact page lists two neighbourhood outlets, one in Yishun and one in Pasir Ris, and a message form for enquiries. The site states that its pastes contain no additives or preservatives, which is the company's own claim rather than something LocalRank has tested.

3. Tai Eng

Tai Eng is a Singapore-owned spice and herb trader that says on its profile page that the business dates back to 1945, when it traded as Chop Tai Eng and wholesaled Indonesian products such as cinnamon, cloves, star anise and cardamom. Its product pages list spices including black pepper, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, galangal roots, nutmeg, turmeric root and dried chilli, plus herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme and oregano, and a few nuts and vanilla beans. The contact page names separate contacts for import and export and for wholesale, and offers an online enquiry form. Expect a trade-oriented supplier rather than a browse-and-buy shop, so enquire first about quantities and whether it serves small buyers.

4. Dashmesh

Dashmesh is a wholesale food supplier that says it began in 1985 offering Indian and Pakistani groceries, and its site now describes restaurant and business supply from a base in the Penjuru area. A Spices category sits beside rice, pulses and nuts, frozen goods and snacks, and the Whole Spices section shows house-brand Malika cinnamon sticks and cloves in several pack sizes, along with green cardamom in a bulk carton. Product pages invite visitors to request a quote rather than checkout online, and the contact page lists a sales email and phone line. The site says its clients include restaurants, caterers, retailers and temples. That makes it a practical choice for businesses or large households buying spices in volume, which is how it presents itself.

5. MyIndia.sg

MyIndia.sg is an online Indian grocery whose Masalas and Spices section is organised into masala and curry powders, powdered spices, pure spice powders, and whole spices and seeds, with organic versions also listed. The pages we read show familiar Indian brands such as Everest, MTR, Aachi and Sakthi, so it suits cooks who want specific masalas for dishes like sambar, biryani or rasam without trekking to Little India. The site says orders can be placed at any hour and delivered within 24 hours, with a free-delivery threshold and a self-collection option whose terms are stated on its own pages. Because it is a general grocer first, spices are one aisle of a wider range, so confirm stock and terms at checkout.

6. Maharashtra Bazaar by SushAadi

Maharashtra Bazaar by SushAadi is an online Indian grocery with a Maharashtrian focus, and its storefront says delivery is available across Singapore. The spice shelves are split into dry whole spices, labelled with the Marathi and Hindi terms khada and garam, and ready-made spice mixes in regional styles listed as Koli, Malvani and Goda. That makes it a useful stop for home cooks chasing the masalas behind Konkan and Maharashtrian dishes, which are harder to find in general supermarkets. Beyond spices the shop lists pickles, chutneys, flours, pulses and snacks, and a contact page and phone line are published for questions. Its pages show no copyright year, so confirm that orders are being taken before you plan a meal around it.

How to choose

Decide first whether you want whole or ground spices. Whole seeds and bark keep their aroma longer and suit tempering, braising and toasting at home, while ground blends are faster for weeknight cooking. Check that the shop lists the form you want and ask how recently a ground blend was milled.
Match the shop to the cuisine. A Chinatown blender may suit Singapore-style curry and bak kut teh mixes, an Indian grocer will stock regional masalas, and a trade supplier is better for sacks of cardamom or cloves. Read each product page and ingredient list instead of assuming a brand covers every style.
Check the ingredients. Many blends are mostly one or two spices, and some add salt, starch or colouring. If you are avoiding certain ingredients, look for a printed ingredient list on the pack or product page, and treat claims such as no preservatives as the seller's own statement to be checked.
Think about how you will buy. Stalls publish set days and hours, online shops add delivery thresholds, and wholesalers often work by quotation. Look at the shop's own pages for current terms, and allow for the fact that small-batch sellers may sell out of a particular blend between restocks.
Start small and compare. Buy a small pack of one or two spices from different sellers, smell and taste them side by side, and keep them in airtight jars away from light and heat. Once you find the blend you reach for most, buy larger quantities from that source.
