My first visit to Supernature was great but subsequently, on my second visit, it was a nightmare. The exact same thing happened to me - being approached a few times and getting 'stalked' by a staff except my situation was even worse. I was messaging someone while shopping hence I was looking at my phone while browsing and halfway through, one of their staff actually came up to me and asked me if I was taking down their prices with my phone!!!!! I was appalled! How can you ask a customer that! It is absolutely ridiculous. <br />Since then, I havent returned and I have been visiting Brown Rice Paradise at Tanglin Mall instead.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-90991727088952945452011-06-21T11:56:56.092+08:002011-06-21T11:56:56.092+08:00Just a note, I have always found the service at Su...Just a note, I have always found the service at Supernature amazing – they sms me when the gluten free chicken nuggets my son likes arrive, they tell me about what’s fresh or in season or new, they unpack and pack my trolley, call a taxi for me, take my things to the car – I have never received this level of service at any other store in Singapore???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-49217665222946687782011-05-12T15:45:26.370+08:002011-05-12T15:45:26.370+08:00Wonderful blogpost, well done, beautiful pics whic...Wonderful blogpost, well done, beautiful pics which must have taken some time and effort. Thanks for sharing! And what lively debate too! Very good input. True that prices are high and most things are imported. Unfortunately, Singapore is an island which has to depend on others to produce the food whilst they concentrate on other sectors.. high prices? perhaps it is a case of eating less, but eating selectively. Choose what we eat, and eat less, eat well. A wonderful thing of this store is the home delivery idea, keeps the CO to a lower level for all of us too. A beautiful store. Check out their organic olive oil, a particularly great one - Poggiagliolmi - unpronounceable name but has a child's penciled drawing as a label- beautifully green colour - high in anti-oxidants!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-28050346138902877262011-03-31T16:16:33.760+08:002011-03-31T16:16:33.760+08:00& I thought I was the only one who was treated...& I thought I was the only one who was treated badly by their staff ;) I was there a long time back. It was a good half an hour before closing time. While I was browsing the dried food section, a lady staff came over & "reminded" me that they are closing a xxxpm. Guess she wanted to make sure that I am gone in time for her to close shop. So as you can guess by now, I told myself never to return. Besides, I totally agree with all who has posted on their crazy prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-8206908116234134382010-12-20T07:32:31.532+08:002010-12-20T07:32:31.532+08:00Great find!

I'm coming home for the holidays and was hoping to find an organic supermarket to buy free range organic eggs from and your post was one of the first couple of search results that caught my eye.<br /><br />Excellent product coverage with images too. I was surprised, however, that the eggs came from NZ and not Malaysia or even Singapore. Perhaps its just me, romanticizing the rural kampungs of our neighbouring countries? <br /><br />I think the organic/slow food movement is gradually catching on in Singapore but is still perceived as an imported food culture from the West. Packed in plastic, air flown and deep frozen food is contradictory to certain aspects of the organic movement. Hopefully soon the 100mile food movement catches on in Singapore and perhaps we can move towards a holistic way of eating/consuming that goes beyond just benefiting ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-53678715266175478862010-12-20T00:29:41.349+08:002010-12-20T00:29:41.349+08:00Wow Supernature has such bad press here!

The same chinese tall attendent mentioned asked me 3x in a short span of 10 minutes if I needed any help.<br /><br />I fled to the neighbouring section of toiletries in supernature and at least got some peace! But to be frank the pricing be it for food or toiletries is more marked-up as compared to the same organic brands found in other organic shops in singapore. Location is out of the way too. No reason to put up with over pricey items and bad service for me to visit the store again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-1616964839238417252010-11-25T22:18:43.122+08:002010-11-25T22:18:43.122+08:00I do agree this place has a pretty good selection ...I do agree this place has a pretty good selection of stuff, but their attitude and pricing are awful. I have repeatedly found products they sell for up to 40% less in other shops. I used to buy a liquid iron supplement they were selling for almost 50 SGD, then found it in a wonderfully inexpensive shop in Peninsula Shopping Centre for 27 SGD, same brand and size. Same story with other items. When confronted, the story is it's imported blahblah. As long as some ignorant ang moh will pay the price,let's fleece them. I'm staying away from them.

You might be heartened to know that you are not alone here.<br /><br />My husband and I are in our thirties and like you and your girlfriend, we like to check out new stores. I discovered Supernature through an email advertisement from Supernature itself and we checked out the place this weekend. Throughout our visit, we had a male attendant stalk us from a distance, making sure that we were visible to him no matter which aisle we were at. The manner in which the "surveillance" was carried out was really unique to Supernature because we have never encountered this in any other store in Singapore. Suffice it to say, the store has succeeded in conveying clearly the message: "Go away if you are not buying. Or cannot afford it. Whatever."Mrs Tannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-5422632970923683882010-05-07T11:23:18.409+08:002010-05-07T11:23:18.409+08:00It was intriguing to read about this new organic s...It was intriguing to read about this new organic store and I arrived there after some tough hunting around Tanglin area yesterday afternoon. The store was huge and indeed the stock was rather comprehensive. However, one of the staff's attitude was so obnoxious and humiliating that I left the store fuming with anger. <br /><br />Is it wrong for anyone to visit a store with no intention to purchase, other than the fact that we were excited to check out this new store and what it has to offer? Barely 10 minutes into the fresh produce store, this tall male store attendant had to check upon me and my girlfriend, not once, not twice but THRICE, as to whether we were buying anything despite the fact that I had given the same reply that we were just browsing with nothing specific in mind. His repeated questioning, and derogatory tone, certainly conveyed his doubt in our intentions in that shop. Was that a outright challenge to our moral integrity? <br /><br />By this point in time, my girlfriend and I were already feeling uncomfortable. But we decided perhaps he was just too earnest and straightforward and the fact we had taken quite some effort to locate this store meant we weren't willing to let this small episode ruin our mood. Then came the LAST STRAW.<br /><br />As we made our way into the confectionery and canned produce section, which was located in the aft of the store, this particular store attendant motioned another of his colleagues to keep an eye on us. While he didn't instruct them blatantly in front of us (if there was any benefit of doubt, it was non-existent at this point) we clearly observed a staff stalking us throughout the whole period we were browsing. Needless to say, we left very dissatisfied and unpleasant shoppers. <br /><br />Perhaps we do not fit in with the European clientele Supernature is targeting, but that doesn't meant that undergraduates donning bags deserve tags as potential shop-lifters. It was unnecessary and utmost humiliating. While I give the store credit for providing a variety of brands, and applaud their effort in promoting organic food(which I'm still a strong advocate for), this experience has left me very bitter and I will NEVER return to this store ever again. <br /><br />If anyone feels the need for clarification, you can contact me @ lesterlz@hotmail.com.Lesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-25246166323859916872010-04-27T11:14:00.395+08:002010-04-27T11:14:00.395+08:00Wow!
