FRESH & FROZEN PRODUCTS
Are your products fresh or defrosted from frozen?
None of our products are ever defrosted from frozen. Our fresh products have never been frozen and can be frozen for 6-12 months. We will never sell defrosted products.
Our wild white fish from NZ and our Australian Shark Bay wild prawns are snap frozen at the source to keep them as fresh as possible – we keep these products frozen.
Our organic chicken is frozen as this is imported from Australia and strict Singapore AVA laws stipulate that no fresh poultry can be brought into Singapore.
Sometimes if we have stock left over and it is close to its best before date, we will freeze it and sell it frozen – this product is still perfect however cannot be refrozen once it is defrosted.
How often do you receive your products:
- NZ Akaroa Salmon = Twice a week direct from NZ.
- Certified Organic Chicken = Daily from Mon-Sun. We do not have fresh chicken on Mondays.
- Cape Grim Beef = Fresh directly from Australia every 10 days.
- Australian Dorper Lamb – Fresh from Australia every 2 weeks.
- Fresh Wild Caught White Fish from NZ – Every Sat/Sun depending on availability.

Our organically farmed chickens are ethically reared on modern farms in Malaysia without the use of growth enhancers or antibiotics. Reared in a temperature-controlled, hygienic environment with ample space for the chickens to roam, they also enjoy a calm and soothing environment listing to the sounds of Mozart classical music!
Fed with Lactobacillus, which enhances the chicken's immune systems naturally, protects their intestinal system, and thus improving the absorption of their nutrients while at the same time lowering the fat and cholesterol intake, providing a much healthier choice for consumption.
What is Lactobacillus?
Lactobacillus, or friendly bacteria, is a natural way of combating harmful bacteria. With a more advance lactobacillus technology, stronger strains were specially cultured for our Chicken. Using a high-tech farming process, it is introduced into the diet of chickens reared in a controlled environment under the strict supervision of a team of selected and qualified professionals.
