Fans of Korean cuisine have plenty to be excited about this year, with beloved South Korean bakery Standard Bread and fast food chain Lotteria both gearing up to make their Singapore debut. In the meantime, those eager for a taste of South Korea can head to the newly opened Lotte Mart Express.
Singapore’s first Lotte Mart Express is now open inside FairPrice Xtra at VivoCity. Though compact, the space is packed with a wide range of Korean treats and essentials. Pick up café latte drinks, stock up on the ever-popular banana milk, and browse through various seaweed snacks. You can even snag the XL ramyeon packs here.
It’s not just grab-and-go snacks either – you can dine in too. Head over to the ramyeon cooking station to fix that MSG craving. Choose from a variety of instant noodles, including the fiery Buldak ramen series, and enhance your meal with optional toppings such as cheese, sausages, fishballs, and crabsticks are available at an additional charge.
There’s also a mini kitchen serving hot, freshly prepared South Korean street food including kimbap, spicy dakgangjeong, eomuk, and rose tteokbokki. Do note that the food sold here is not halal-certified.
Don’t forget to pop by the self-service photobooth while you’re here. While it’s not as elaborate as the ones you see in Myeongdong, having a mini photoshoot with your haul is a fun way to commemorate your time here.
Lotte Mart Express is also currently running a promotion where shoppers who spend $30 or more will receive a gachapon token, which can be used to redeem snacks.
