A Place to Shop for Kitchen Utensils

"A hidden treasure in Eunos, where I bought my kitchen precious with varieties, sizes, colours, designs, materials.. etc, @ Kitchen.Mart"

I am not a spokeman for any of these shopping places, but if you are interested to know where to get cheap/ good/ varieties of kitchenware, I will tell you where I got some of my kitchen stuff.

Kitchen.Mart is a big warehouse-like shop which meants for business users or wholesalers to buy their kitchenware and utensils in bulk. However, this place does accept walk-in customers, and hence, you won't see crowds here, even on a weekend.

This place was found by my hubby, and he was certain that I will like this place to get my new wok. So, he brought me there few weeks ago. I ended up with a big bucket of kitchen wares home (laughing)!


I was glad to find this place as it is so huge and complete with all the kitchenware you need, with reasonable price, too! Like I said, this place is meant for wholesalers or business users. If you intend to open your own food business, this will be the place for you!


You may find most of the items come in different sizes and colours.

I bought a large tradition claypot as my existing one cracked. It costs only S$7.50 for a large one. I will use it to cook claypot chicken rice!

I got the deep stew pot from here, too, for double boiling use. I intend to steam my bird nest soup or sweet pear soup in due. As you can see, the large pot costs only S$4!

Assorted stainless steel pots. I did not get any of these as I have enough pots, so far. But I got more baking pans here, though.

And, most of all, the WOK, all kinds of materials and sizes!! They sell those modern wok/ large pan with single-handle at one side, too. However, I am bored with using that expensive kind of wok now. So, I chose a Chinese wok, but not the iron/ stainless steel kind. I got a black non-stick Chinese wok. It is indeed truely non-stick, and I find it good to use, so far.

And guess what, for the usual $120 branded single-handle pan/ wok I have gotten from departmental stores all the time, I got this non-stick Chinese wok here for only $28 (plus a $3 simple-looking metal lid which I matched it on the spot with the options they have it there).

By and large, this place is good to shop for varieties of not-so-branded kitchen items with good prices. You have all your freedom to walk around this huge place and get all you wanted for your kitchen, from modern to traditional designs.. You can even find large eletronics, such as, food processor/ oven and fridges, here.

We spent 2 hours here and got a load of kitchen items home, just $130 for the bill!

Well, you must be anxious to know how to get there?

As you could see my GPS location, the address is:
105 Eunos Ave 3, Eunos Industrial Estate, Singapore.
Tel: 6746 9919
Retail operating hour:
Monday - Saturday, 10am - 7pm
Sunday & Public Holiday, 10am - 5pm

This place is more an industrial area where you may find many surrounding buildings. Kitchen.Mart is located at the ground floor in a building, not too far in. To get there by train, I think the nearest MRT station there should be Paya Lebar station. Take a cab, and it will not be too far from there. Sorry that I could not advise you more details on getting there, as hubby fetched us there during a weekend afternoon.

8 dined in & said hello:

Wow! You really found some bargains! Over here in the USA those pots would've been so high! The pot you bought for 4.00 wouldve been at least 24.00 . I can go to an asian market and get it way cheaper than some of the big name brand stores. One day, I'll get a chance to visit Asia to shop for food and cooking items.

Hi,

Just went yesterday but seems like the place had already closed for renovation.

Hi! I chanced upon your website thru a friend's facebook link. Can i know if their pricing is cheaper than Sia Huat's or Lau Choy Seng at Temple St (Chinatown)? Thanks!

Hi Esther,

I just called them, and they told me that they aren't closed at all for any kind of renovation work.

Hmmm, maybe you can call them up to check. Anyways, I have updated their operating hours and contact number at the bottom of my post, for reference. :)

Hi Linda,

I am not sure how cheap the goods were from Sia Huat's or Lau Choy Seng at Temple St (Chinatown). I have not been to that area for kitchen product before.

I only compared their prices with those at supermarket and departmental stores.

And, I personally find this place at Eunos good mainly because of it peacefulness and spaciousness of their place to shop freely as well as the varieties and convenience to get everything I wanted for my kitchen.

Hi, I stumble upon your blog when I was searching for information about Wok... sigh... sorry to ask (as a stranger) your chinese black wok, still good to use?
cos, I'm struggling with wok now, intend to buy one (sure must be expensive one right?) but then, don't know which one to buy... of course, if I'll get a similar wok as yours, then it'll be for temporary use, till I can really decide which expensive wok to go to... :(

so, is that chinese black wok still good?

thanks...
