This guide brings together nine places in Singapore to shop for kitchen equipment, whether you’re kitting out a new home or hunting for a specific gadget. It’s meant for home cooks and bakers who want to see and handle tools before buying, as well as those who simply enjoy browsing well-stocked aisles. The stores were selected to reflect a mix of mass-market, specialist, and trade-focused options, so there’s something for different budgets and needs. ToTT is a good place to begin, with branches in Katong and Suntec that carry a broad range of baking gear and international brands, making it easy to find inspiration for your next project. Stock levels and the balance between home and professional equipment can vary across these shops, so a quick call ahead can save time.
Quick answer: For serious home cooks in Singapore, ToTT and Sia Huat are hard to beat for sheer range, while Mayer brings sleek appliances into the picture. If you’re after restaurant-quality tools like those used in hotel kitchens, Lau Choy Seng and Pantry Pursuits deliver. And when the hunt is as much about presentation as performance, Tangs and HipVan have the tableware and design pieces that make a kitchen feel personal.
A dinner party, a renovation handover, or a new hobby you have been waiting months to start – the kitchen equipment you pick now sets the tone for all of it. You need pieces that arrive on time, fit your counters, and handle whatever menu you are planning. Think about access, lead times, and how the shop handles the Saturday rush before you commit.
If none of these quite fit, Best Home Appliances & Comfort in Singapore has 50 lists covering the rest of the category.
ToTT
A kitchenware shop with branches in Katong and Suntec, ToTT is where many home bakers head when the weekend project calls for a new Nordic Ware pan or a sturdy cake stand. They carry brands like Jamie Oliver, Cuisinart, and Nordic Ware, along with speciality knife sets, baking tools, and even organic ingredients. The real pull, though, is the in-store cooking studios – you can learn a new dish from a pro, then immediately grab the same tools you used. Damn shiok, right?
Plan your visit around a weekday morning when the Katong or Suntec aisles are calm enough to properly inspect bakeware weight and handle balance. If you have a specific dinner-party dish to master, book the cooking studio ahead – the sessions fill up, and learning the technique before you buy the tool makes the shopping list write itself.

If you’re the sort who watches baking videos on a Monday and wants to try it yourself by Saturday, ToTT lines up the tools and a bit of guidance. Families with young kids also end up here often – the classes are a fun weekend outing that ends with something sweet.
Mayer
Mayer is the name that pops into your head when you picture a friend’s kitchen counter, the one with the mint-green KitchenAid mixer and a row of matching small appliances. Their catalogue runs from high-performance ovens to rice cookers, blenders, and yes, the full rainbow of KitchenAid mixers. It’s less about flash and more about building a kitchen that works hard and looks good while doing it, year after year.
This round-up is editorial. Suggestions are welcome – tell us what you offer and where.
The main value here is continuity: when you upgrade your oven or blender a few years from now, you are likely to find a matching piece from the same family of appliances. Ask about extended warranty registration at purchase – it is the sort of small paperwork step that proves its worth the week before a big gathering.

Phone: +65 6542 8383
Hours: Mon–Fri 9am–6pm; Sat 9am–12pm; Closed Sun & PH

mayer.sg
If you’re renovating or just tired of replacing cheap gadgets every other year, Mayer is a steady choice. The showroom lets you see the actual size of that oven or feel the weight of a mixer before you commit – no guessing from a screen.
Lau Choy Seng
Walk down Temple Street in Chinatown and you’ll find Lau Choy Seng, a long-established distributor where restaurant buyers and ambitious home cooks move through aisles packed with over 20,000 products. We’re talking Chinese, Japanese, and Western kitchenware, bakeware, cutlery, top-of-the-range knife sets, tabletop items, drinkware, and even buffet catering tools. Carrying more than 35 brands, it’s the kind of shop where you go in for a ladle and come out with a whole new respect for what your kitchen can do.
Go with a list written in categories, not brands – the 20,000-product floor rewards method over browsing. Walk the Chinese, Japanese, and Western sections in sequence so you can physically compare a bamboo steamer, a donabe, and a stockpot side by side. Restaurant-scale buffet tools live here too, which matters if you are catering a milestone celebration yourself.
Address: 21/23/25 Temple Street, Singapore 058568
Phone: +65 6223 5486
Hours: Mon–Sat 8:30am–6pm; Closed Sun & PH
Price: Professional-grade range
lauchoyseng.com
For home cooks who host large gatherings or just refuse to use flimsy pots, this is a pilgrimage worth making. The staff know their inventory inside out, so even if you’re hunting for a very particular pate mould or a wok that can handle a serious heat, they’ll sort you out.
Sia Huat
Right next door on Temple Street, Sia Huat feels like the big brother – a cornerstone of Singapore’s professional cooking scene, with over 30,000 items spanning pots, pans, cooking tools, tableware, and baking supplies. Many items are the same commercial-grade pieces chefs rely on, just sold without the fuss. If you’ve ever wondered where a hawker stall gets those no-nonsense steel bowls that never warp, there’s a good chance it started here.
If you’re also looking to upgrade your stove, check out our guide to Gas Stoves in Singapore.
Right next door and stacked with commercial-grade steel, this is the stop for the unglamorous workhorses that make a kitchen run – think gastronorm pans, heavy sheet trays, and those deep mixing bowls that stack neatly. If you are setting up a new home kitchen from scratch, do this visit first; the foundational pieces are practical and the volume means you rarely leave empty-handed.
Address: 7, 9 & 11 Temple Street, Singapore 058559 (Retail)
Phone: +65 6223 1732
Hours: Mon–Sat 9am–6pm; Closed Sun & PH
Price: Value to mid-range, commercial durability
siahuat.com
This is the spot for the home cook who doesn’t need fancy packaging – just gear that lasts. It’s also a safe bet when you’re kitting out a new kitchen on a budget but don’t want to compromise on toughness.
Tangs
Tangs on Orchard Road is a department store with a kitchen section that stops you mid-stride, offering posh dinnerware, crystalware, and fancy tablecloths alongside everyday kitchen essentials. The selection leans toward international labels and exclusive pieces you won’t spot everywhere – the sort of serveware that has your aunt asking, “Wah, where you buy this ah?”
Tangs suits the moment you have ticked off the functional list and want serveware that marks an occasion. The Orchard Road setting makes it a natural pairing with a milestone errand – perhaps registering at the store when you are planning a wedding list, or choosing a showpiece platter the afternoon before hosting relatives for lunar new year.
Address: 310 Orchard Road, Singapore 238864
Phone: +65 6737 5500
Hours: Mon–Sat 10:30am–9:30pm; Sun 11am–9pm
Price: Luxury
tangs.com
If setting a beautiful table is part of the joy of cooking for you, Tangs makes that easy. Newlyweds building their first collection of quality serveware or anyone looking for a statement vase for the dining table will find plenty of reasons to linger.
HipVan
HipVan at Clarke Quay takes a design-first approach to kitchenware, with cookware, baking essentials, knives, and grills in colours you actually want to leave out on the counter – sunset oranges, deep navy blues, matte blacks. The pieces feel more like part of your home’s personality than just tools. Your geng of friends come over and see that bright Dutch oven on the hob, confirm they will ask where you got it.
Clarke Quay showroom browsing works best when you have already shortlisted online – the colours (sunset orange, deep navy, matte black) read differently under showroom light. Snap a photo of your own kitchen backsplash before heading down; matching a Dutch oven or kettle to an existing palette is what turns a considered purchase into a signature counter display.
Address: Blk B #02-03, Clarke Quay, Singapore 179021
Phone: +65 6291 1725
Hours: Mon–Sun 11am–9pm
Price: Mid-range designer
hipvan.com
Flat owners who want a kitchen that looks as good as the rest of the home will gravitate here. The price makes it a comfortable step up from basic brands, and the aesthetic keeps things fresh even when the cooking is just the usual weekday rush.
Pantry Pursuits
Pantry Pursuits is the answer for busy cooks who know exactly what they need and would rather not jostle with a weekend crowd. Operating mostly online, they ship professional-grade pots, roasters, pate moulds, pasta-making machines, carving knives, and flatware straight to you, often with free delivery. The focus is on precision tools that help you pull off a restaurant-quality dish at home without leaving the house.
Sometimes it’s the small things that count – a reliable can opener can save dinner prep. Have a look at our pick of Can Openers in Singapore.
Pure online plays solve the booking-lead-time problem beautifully. Order your pasta machine or roaster midweek and it arrives before your weekend prep window opens. The range favours cooks who already know their tool list – if you work from precise recipes calling for pâté moulds or gauged flatware, the ship-direct model keeps you out of mall traffic entirely.

If you’re the sort who researches the exact brand of roasting pan a YouTube chef uses, you’ll feel at home here. It’s also a go-to for bakers who need a very specific mould quickly, minus the parking headache.

IKEA’s kitchen section is more than flat-packed cabinets. The showrooms let you walk through full setups, which is helpful when you can’t quite visualise how a corner unit works. The smaller accessories—cutlery trays, rails, organisers—are a lifesaver if you’re updating an older kitchen on a budget. Grab a cinnamon roll on your way out; it’s part of the ritual.

How to choose
The right kitchen equipment brand depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you want to pick up a pot, feel its weight, and maybe compare two side-by-side, the physical stores of Sia Huat or Lau Choy Seng in Chinatown are unbeatable for range. They carry thousands of items at relatively fair prices, and the atmosphere is strictly no-nonsense – you go there to equip a working kitchen.
For appliances like ovens, cooktops, and stand mixers, Mayer’s showroom lets you see the machines in action and ask the questions that product pages can’t answer. If the dream is a coordinated countertop with a colour theme, this is the place to start.
When presentation matters as much as cooking – hosting dinner parties or celebrating milestones – Tangs and HipVan offer tableware and decorative pieces that turn a meal into an occasion. HipVan leans modern and price-conscious, while Tangs brings a heritage gloss and a deeper luxury edit.
Online shoppers who already know their brands will get along with Pantry Pursuits; the delivery removes a lot of friction. And if you’re the sort who learns by doing, ToTT’s cooking classes turn trying new tools into a social experience before you spend a cent.
All the brands here sit in the premium space, but the price gap between a sturdy steel pot from Sia Huat and a designer Dutch oven from HipVan can be wide. Figure out whether you’re buying for daily reliability, for show, or for a specific skill you’re building, and the choice gets a lot clearer.
