Sheng Siong Supermarket made history in August 2025 by opening its first Orchard Road outlet at The Cathay, occupying 6,500 square feet across basement level units B1-05/06 at 2 Handy Road. This landmark expansion represents a significant shift for the budget supermarket chain, which built its reputation serving Singapore's heartland neighbourhoods across 82 locations before venturing into the premium shopping district.
The Cathay outlet maintains Sheng Siong's commitment to value pricing whilst serving a demographic that includes office workers, shoppers, and residents in the Orchard and Dhoby Ghaut areas. The supermarket stocks the comprehensive range of groceries, fresh produce, meat, seafood, household essentials, and everyday necessities that characterise Sheng Siong's heartland stores, bringing competitive pricing to an area traditionally dominated by premium supermarket operators.
The strategic move into Orchard Road acknowledges changing retail patterns and opportunities in Singapore's central business and shopping districts. The location serves high-rise residential developments in the surrounding area, office workers seeking convenient grocery options, and tourists looking for affordable provisions or snacks. The basement positioning provides easy access without requiring customers to navigate through mall retail levels.
For shoppers accustomed to neighbourhood Sheng Siong outlets, The Cathay location offers familiar products and value pricing in a more compact urban format. For Orchard area residents and workers previously travelling to heartland locations for budget groceries, the outlet provides welcome convenience. The supermarket reinforces The Cathay's positioning as a community-oriented development rather than purely luxury retail.

THIS STORE SCAMS CUSTOMERS! BEWARE
Went in for bottled water. Grabbed some from the fridge, headed to self-checkout, and was suddenly told I owed an extra 15 cents per bottle for "chilled drinks." The staff member actually touched my bottles to check if they were cold.
There was no clearly visible signage on or near the fridge indicating any surcharge for chilled items. And I was at the fridge looking at which drinks to get for some time. Instead, you only find out at checkout, when you're already committed and it's awkward to walk back and swap them out. This SCAM by Sheng Siong is obviously deliberately designed to pressure customers into just paying rather than causing a scene.
Also, 15 cents on a 30-cent bottle of water is a 50% markup just for refrigeration. In 2025. When virtually every other retailer in Singapore includes chilling as a basic courtesy! You're charging a premium for chilling water! If it wasn't chilled I wouldn't even buy it to begin with! And the way it is done is such a blatant SCAM!
Sheng Siong is obviously a retailer with no morals, taking advantage of anyone unlucky enough to bother shopping there! They have lost a customer for life, with such repulsive, disgusting scam and fraudulent behaviour

A convenient Sheng Siong located at The Cathay. The store is clean, well-organised, and easy to navigate. Prices are good, and there’s a nice range of daily essentials and fresh items. Great spot to grab groceries while in the area.

I have patronised this supermarket a few times. On all occasions, they were such pleasant grocery shopping experience. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. Freshness of fruits was comparable with Cold Storage Fresh but priced lower than its competitors. Also, the service staff seem to be very polite and helpful. Hope that this is going to be a permanent feature. Fresh groceries, helpful staff and reasonable pricing. Looks like this is going to be my new grocery shopping place from now onwards. Keep it up Sheng Siong!

Great to finally have a Sheng Siong in the town area! Convenient location at The Cathay with a good variety of fresh produce and daily essentials at affordable prices. Clean, well-organised and staff are friendly. A much-needed option in Orchard.

Conveniently located just below the escalator. Sizable enough without feeling overcrowded on a weekend morning. The self-service staff are helpful. The only downside is, mobile signal in the basement is weak, so need to exit the supermarket to activate the CDC voucher a short distance away.

First time to a Sheng Siong supermarket. The shopping aisles are quite tiny and cramped compared to NTUC Fairprice and Cold Storage. Unsure if it's this branch or if it's Sheng Siong style.
