With the Chinese New Year (CNY) festivities upon us, many are flocking to supermarkets to stock up on snacks and goodies.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for fresh ingredients for your annual reunion dinner, NTUC FairPrice has introduced trucks selling live tiger prawns for a limited time.

After setting up shop at Toa Payoh today (18 Jan), they will move on to Hougang tomorrow (19 Jan) and Bedok on Friday (20 Jan).
In a press release, FairPrice shared that the promotion marks their first large-scale live prawn sale.
The tiger prawns are delivered from Malaysia daily, where the trucks are stationed at the supermarket’s nearest car park to guarantee freshness.
They’re also surprisingly affordable, going at just S$19.90 per kg. That’s S$10 lower than the usual market rate of S$29.90 per kg.

There’s a catch, though — only 1,000kg of prawns will be available for sale each day. Additionally, each customer can only purchase up to 5kg of prawns.
The promotion is available at the following FairPrice outlets:

Whether you like them steamed, sauteed, or fried, prawns are always a favourite to have during CNY.
So if you have seafood lovers in the family, this is the perfect opportunity to go stock up on fresh ingredients for your reunion dinner.
Do try and go as early as possible to avoid any disappointment as it seems like the prawns will sell out really fast.
