Assorted Kit Kats

More Kit Kats of different flavors from Japan. (from left, cloockwise) The strawberry kit kat from Australia which sale will support the Breast Cancer Foundation, strawberry, tea, brazil nut (though it was translated as basil nut) and green tea kit kats from Japan.

A bit off the green tea kit kat. Milky white chocolate with green tea.

I think I am starting to appreciate living in Singapore with its easy availability of food stuff and candies from Asia (Japan, Korea, Thai...) and other parts of the world. Some supermarkets stock items from North America (mostly USA still), Australia, Europe, particularly French since Carrefour is here. So there are mini pavilions to indicate the various areas you can find your favorite products.

Golden Mile for Thai stuff.
Square 2 for Korean stuff.
Quite a number of places for Japanese stuff - The Central, old Liang Court (Meidi-ya), Isetan Scotts, Takashimaya and many more
Carrefour - European brands, particulary French
Candy Empire stocks candies and cookies from all over Europe and Australia, less on North American products
Jasons, Market Place under Cold Storage Group and some NTUC created pavilions to house products from America, Australia and Europe and Japan. Not as specialized but good enough when cravings kick in.
There is also a small shop somewhere in Little India which only sells Aussie products though I have not been there yet.
Then there is Espirito Santo which imports fresh meat from Brazil, Australia and New Zealand, plus other South American products and cheeses, antipastos, etc.

There are so many shops sprouting up in the last few years specializing in fresh produce or things. This is probably because there are many expats who live here and stay on, and it also help ease the settling in period for new foreigners. A little bit of home in a foreign land.

I know I was so happy to see Tide and Bounce being sold here when I moved back here :p
