From brunch with hubby to grocery shopping with hubby — this week has been all about the small routines.

When we lived in the UK, cooking and eating at home was the default — eating out was the treat, not the norm. Here in Singapore, it’s flipped: eating out is the everyday thing, home cooking is the treat. We’re still trying to hold onto a couple of home-cooked meals a week, if only to keep some of that old rhythm alive.

Singapore isn’t short on options for the weekly shop — NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Scarlett, M&S, the Japanese supermarkets — genuinely no shortage of variety. But if you’re after Western or European essentials, @csfreshsg is hard to beat. Prices sit around NTUC FairPrice Finest, but the range on that front edges it out.

Small errand, but this is what rebuilding a routine actually looks like.

Where do you grocery shop, and are we missing a gem? 👇
