24 Hour Supermarket Near Hougang: FairPrice, Giant and Sheng Siong Across the North-East

A 24 hour supermarket matters more than people expect: the 1am nappy run, groceries after a late shift, or ice before a party or a barbecue at a booked pit. The North-East has plenty of them. For anyone weighing LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences), the nearest is a couple of minutes’ walk from Hougang MRT (NE14). Below is every round-the-clock FairPrice, Giant and Sheng Siong outlet in the region, grouped by town.

The NEX hypermarket is unusual in being a mall store with 24-hour listing. After the mall closes, check which entrance is open. FairPrice Finest at myVillage in Serangoon Gardens is listed until 11pm, not 24 hours.

Fernvale has four 24-hour Sheng Siong stores within a small area. The supermarkets inside Rivervale Mall, Anchorvale Village and the FairPrice Finest by Buangkok Hawker Centre keep shorter hours.

• FairPrice: Blk 612 Punggol Drive; 653B Punggol Drive

Punggol has the most round-the-clock outlets of any North-East town, most of them in the neighbourhood centres under newer blocks. The supermarkets at Oasis Terraces, Punggol Plaza and Punggol Coast Mall close at night. From Hougang, Waterway Point is three stops north on the NEL.

Which chain is which

• FairPrice is the NTUC co-operative. Standard stores serve the estates, FairPrice Finest carries more imported and premium lines, and FairPrice Xtra is the hypermarket format with household goods.
• Giant runs supermarkets and hypermarkets; in the North-East its 24-hour stores are in Hougang, Buangkok, Serangoon and Punggol.
• Sheng Siong focuses on HDB neighbourhood centres, which is why its 24-hour outlets cluster in Punggol and Sengkang.

Late-night shopping tips

• Fresh counters may close. A store open 24 hours does not mean every counter is staffed all night.
• Festive hours differ. Around Chinese New Year, chains publish shorter hours for some outlets.
• Convenience stores fill gaps for bread, milk and toiletries, at a smaller range and usually higher prices.
