food factories @ blk 15 woodlands loop



blk 15 at woodlands loop houses 4 storeys of food factories. there are more than 200 food processing companies under one roof. the people who operate the factories are mostly wholesalers. because there is no middleman, the prices of the goodies for sale are lower than those found in retail.

there is a substantial number of caterers housed at blk 15, some are quite established ones like revada and absolute catering. there are a few roast meat dealers. there is an indian mill which you cannot fail to detect if you are near to it. reminds me of serangoon road. there are two coffee bean roasters, one of which looks like something from the past. it is labour intensive and the whole place looks so dusty when the workers are churning the roasted beans.

over at masud family satay, you can buy the uncooked satay at about 25 cents a stick. otah - the fish paste - can be had for about 20 cents a piece. we have been there regularly to buy fish balls at 10 cents each. we also buy cakes from j&c which is located on level 3. the outlet that sells ngoh hiang at 10 cents a piece is next to the fish ball factory. changi nasi lemak also has its factory in the block.

if you are thinking of buying the fish balls, you should take note that the fish cakes and balls are normally available after 4.00 p.m.
