The season of reunion dinners is around the corner and many Chinese in the country will be gearing up for the festive occasion by flocking to supermarkets to buy all the relevant groceries, such as mandarin oranges, melon seeds, peanuts, and not forgetting, ingredients for steamboat.

For those looking for a place to buy quality seafood and meat produce without jostling through the crowds at your neighbourhood wet market, somewhere far out such as Far Ocean on Fishery Port Road may be your best bet.

Theyā€™re also having a warehouse sale across three weekends between 7 Jan and 27 Jan 2017, which gives you a better chance at saving up to 70 per cent of the productsā€™ original selling price.
