For residents living in Marine Parade, they get to spice things up with a massive new FairPrice Xtra that opened on 12 Jan in Parkway Parade.

There’s no need to travel into town to indulge in some oysters and sushi as FairPrice Xtra’s Marine Parade outlet is offering various decadent offerings.
During your grocery run, you will come across Alfero Gelato, which offers 96% fat free gelato.
