Golden Mile Thai Supermarket to reopen at Aperia Mall
Golden Mile Complex is one of those very Singaporean icons, popularly known as ‘Little Thailand’ for the many Thai eateries within the building. Besides heading there for legit Thai food, there’s also the Thai Supermarket, which, along with all the other tenants, will be vacating the building very soon. Here’s some good news for fans: the supermarket is reopening at Aperia Mall, near Lavender MRT Station, this April!

If you’re unfamiliar with Thai Supermarket, the second-floor institution has been around since 1985. It is a one-stop shop for all things Thai groceries, including snacks, beverages, and cooking essentials. The reason behind their move is last year’s successful en-bloc sale of Golden Mile Complex, with the building being slated to be handed over to the developers by May this year.
Thai Supermarket hasn’t officially announced their new location, but according to this Mothership article, notices at Aperia Mall have revealed that they’ll soon be opening on the first floor of the Lavender mall. They also haven’t revealed when they’ll be closing their Golden Mile outlet, but the Aperia location is said to be set for an April launch.

For those of you that haven’t been to Thai Supermarket, stuff you can look forward to getting there include Thai pandan pancakes and lava mochi from Baan Kanom Thai, a dessert kiosk within the supermart.

Another kiosk within the supermarket sells Thai moo ping, AKA grilled pork skewer, which is said to be smoky and sweet.

We’re hoping that the super popular Fried Banana ($3) will follow the move to Aperia Mall too. Another sweet treat, these fried fritters are meant to be ultra crispy, and coated in sesame seeds.

Otherwise, the Sweet Potato Balls ($2) are a popular pick too, strongly tasting of the root vegetable, with a mochi-like centre.

Priced at $3.50, another lesser-seen item you might look forward to getting at Thai Supermarket is Pink Milk, known as nom chompoo, that’s made with sala syrup.
