Sia Huat

An F&B professional sent me to Temple Street, as I needed a jigger (it’s barware, for those who are unfamiliar.) I had no idea Temple Street was the mecca of kitchenware and foodservice products for the F&B crowd. Fun fact!
There were a couple of stores to choose from, but as I came near closing time for a lot of them, I ended up at Sia Huat. I was amazed at the selection and all of the things you can get there– everything from glassware and silverware to server uniforms and food processors. They also have a second floor, but as I was pressed for time I was unable to explore.
The barware was on the first floor, and I was easily able to find some jiggers. They had a few to choose from: plastic or metal, 40 ml or 50 ml. They were all under $ 5, which is pretty affordable.
When I went, the store was busy and the staff was either running around (literally) or handling enquiries over the phone, so you’ll need to have some patience. Other than that, a great store to explore even if you’re not an F&B pro– if you’re really into cooking or want to get some restaurant-​style sets, this is definitely the place to go!

OMG! It is a candy store for people into cooking & baking. Garh!!! I am in love!

Temple Street is the place to go to for all kinds of kitchenware, and Sia Huat is the temple of it all.
They supply everything — and I mean everything — to the F&B industry in this country. Their retail store, though tiny, is packed chock full of amazing things.
Meat slicers, thermo boxes, huge cauldrons, knives of all shapes and sizes. Chocolate making tools. Plates, bowls, sushi paraphernalia. They have it all.
If you’re from the F&B industry you should tell them, they will give some trade discounts.
It’s a mom-​and-​pop sort of place despite being the kitchenware empire that they are, so be prepared to speak a lot of Singlish and be nice to people to get great service — and great prices.

Chinatown may sound like a peculiar place to buy cooking utensils, but with more than 30 000 SKUs, Sia Huat definitely has the largest inventory of kitchenware in Singapore to boot. It stretches over three shop units along Temple Street, and is a one-​stop centre for a massive assortment of superior tableware, and kitchenware. Saucepans, knives, ladles, whisks line the walls on the first floor. The second floor is where you can buy top-​grade tableware like frosted glass plates, fine bone china and crockery.
At Sia Huat, you can find brands such Jamie Oliver, 3M, Nemco, Vulcan and Royal Bone China to provide all the tools you need for your new kitchen or business venture! Sia Huat also supplies high-​grade kitchen tools to restaurants and hotels.
Depending on what you need, it is possible to pick up some bargains. Stuff like baking moulds, mixing bowls, thermometers and scales are probably cheaper here than many other stores.
