A good local biscuit and snack shop is judged on the freshness of its biscuits, the crispness of its crackers, and whether the packaging keeps them dry. Crackers and chips go stale quickly in humid weather, so it helps to buy in small amounts and keep them sealed. Shops like this often sell by weight or in tins, so asking about the price per packet before buying avoids surprises. Regulars often pick up a few favourites as gifts for friends and family travelling overseas.
Tanjong Pagar Plaza sits on the ground floor of a food centre area in Tanjong Pagar, which makes this shop a handy stop for local snacks on the way home.
