In the supermarket next to Pan Pacific, Finest Fair Price, I spotted some Delhaize products here and there.
I was pleasantly surprised thinking should we feel homesick we can buy some of the products that we were buying in Belgium.
I was less pleasantly surprised when I saw the prices. What is a retailer branded product in Belgium is an exclusive imported product in Singapore. It's even marketed as "Premium European Quality Products". In other words the same product that is among the cheapest in Belgium is now among the most expensive.
This got even crazier when in the Mediterranean garden of the Gardens by the Bay, to showcase olive oil they used a bottle of Delhaize olive oil. So much for the world famous olive oils out there.
