We sold frozen meat in Singapore from 2015 to 2025, and closed our own store in October 2025. Today this site is a catalogue: we check Shopee and Lazada listings and link you straight to the seller, who handles price, stock, delivery, and returns. The answers below cover both: how buying works now, and the meat know-how that has not changed.

Buying through our links
How does buying through this site work?
Browse the catalogue, pick a cut, and hit the retailer button on the product page. You land on the live Shopee or Lazada listing, and the rest happens there: cart, payment, delivery, and any follow-up.
We closed our own checkout in October 2025, so nothing is sold on this site. We pick the listings; the retailer runs the sale.
Why don’t you show live prices?
Marketplace prices move daily, sometimes hourly. A price copied here would go stale fast. So any “from S$” number here is a rough guide, not the real price. The listing shows what you pay before you buy.
What do you check before linking a listing?
Four things: a seller with a real track record, frozen delivery stated plainly, clear weights and cut sizes, and reviews that hold up over time. We sold frozen meat in Singapore from 2015 to 2025, so we know what a proper listing looks like. Listings that slip below that bar come off the site.
What do “cut”, “cube”, “strips”, “sliced”, and “whole” mean?
Butcher shorthand you will see across listings. “Cut” and “cube” mean smaller, roughly cube-shaped pieces. “Strips” are thick strips, like pork belly strips. “Sliced” is thin slices for quick cooking, the mookata and shabu-shabu favourite. “Whole” is a full piece, often 3kg to 4kg, sometimes in two parts that add up to the stated weight.
One more tip for reading cut sizes: 2.5cm is about 1 inch, and 4cm is about 1.5 inches.
Can I get smaller pack sizes?
Pack sizes are set by the seller, and frozen trade packs are rarely broken up. The listing states the weight or pack you will get. If you need smaller portions, split the meat into freezer bags as soon as it arrives, while it is still firm.
Which cuts are lean?
Chicken breast is the leanest common pick, at roughly 21g of protein and under 3g of fat per 100g uncooked. Pork loin is the lean pork option, at around 26g of protein and 4g of fat per 100g. Both are easy to find as skinless breast or boneless loin listings.
Why don’t steak pieces weigh the same?
Steaks are cut from a whole piece at a set thickness, and the head and tail ends of that piece are smaller than the middle. Same loaf, smaller end slices. Sellers price by total weight for that reason, so read the listed weight rather than the piece count.
Delivery and cold chain
Who delivers my order?
The seller you buy from, through the retailer’s delivery options. Delivery windows, fees, and tracking all show at the retailer’s checkout, and frozen-food sellers usually state their delivery days on the listing. We stopped running our own delivery trucks in October 2025.
How should frozen meat arrive?
Frozen firm, in insulated packing. The trade standard is storage at minus 18 degrees Celsius and a freezer vehicle for the last leg, which is why we only link sellers who state their frozen delivery plainly.
Slight surface softening on a hot afternoon is normal. Meat that arrives warm or bendy is not, and that goes straight to the retailer’s refund process with photos.
How long can frozen meat last?
Kept at minus 18 degrees Celsius, frozen meat stays safe indefinitely, per FoodSafety.gov. Quality is the limit, not safety: for the best taste, use minced meat within 3 to 4 months and steaks within about a year. Airtight wrapping prevents freezer burn along the way.
Is it safe to refreeze thawed meat?
If the meat is still cold and firm, or only part-thawed in the fridge, refreezing is generally fine. Once it has sat between 4 and 60 degrees Celsius for two hours or more, do not refreeze it. When in doubt, cook it first, then freeze the cooked dish.
Quality and halal
Is the meat SFA-approved?
The products here belong to their sellers, so we do not make SFA claims on their behalf. What is true in general: meat imported legally into Singapore comes in under SFA import controls, through licensed importers. Check the seller’s own statements on the listing, and ask them through the platform chat if it is not stated.
Our own history, for what it says about our picks: we sold frozen meat from 2015 to 2025, through suppliers who had been in the trade since 2008 and supplied many local brands.
Is the meat hormone-free and antibiotic-free?
Claims like “hormone-free” belong to the seller and the brand behind a listing, so read them there. As background, SFA publishes guidance on hormone and antibiotic claims and checks imported meat against its standards; their article “Claims in relation to hormones and antibiotics” is worth a read before you pay extra for those labels.
Is the meat halal?
Halal certification belongs to the seller, never to us. Some products are imported with halal labels from their country of origin, and some sellers hold local certification. The certificate shown on the listing is the thing to trust, so check it there before you order.
Does freezing destroy nutrients or taste?
No. Freezing slows everything down and puts microbes into dormancy, which stops spoilage while leaving nutrients essentially intact. A small amount of water-soluble nutrients can leave with the drip when meat thaws, but the loss is minor.
Stored properly at minus 18 degrees Celsius, frozen meat holds its taste and quality for months, where chilled meat has days.
Is frozen meat just old chilled meat?
No. Commercial frozen meat is typically flash-frozen soon after slaughter, before it leaves the origin country’s distribution centres. That speed is the point. It locks the meat in at its best, instead of stretching out meat that sat chilled first.
Why is frozen meat darker in colour?
Meat colour comes from oxygen exposure. Frozen meat sits sealed away from air, so it looks darker in the pack; once it thaws and meets air, the familiar red returns. Like a cut apple browning, it is surface chemistry, not spoilage.
Where is frozen meat usually imported from?
The listing’s country-of-origin field is the answer that matters, so read it. From our years in the trade: chicken and pork sold in Singapore came mainly from Brazil, beef from Brazil after earlier years of New Zealand and Australian stock, pork belly from Holland, and hock and bone marrow from the UK and Australia. Origins shift, so trust the listing over habit.
Are bacon and pork belly slices the same thing?
No. Bacon is cured with salt or brine, often smoked, and ready for the pan as-is. Pork belly slices are plain raw meat from the same cut, the hotpot and mookata staple. If a listing says pork belly, expect uncured raw slices, not breakfast bacon.
Orders, exchanges, and refunds
Can I change or cancel an order?
Through the retailer, and speed matters. Shopee and Lazada both allow cancellation while an order is unpaid or not yet shipped; after that it becomes a return case. Message the seller in the platform chat first, since frozen orders are often packed close to the delivery day.
I received the wrong or damaged item. What now?
Photograph everything as received, packaging included, then open a return or refund request in the retailer’s app within their stated window. Frozen-goods claims lean heavily on photos taken on arrival, so check the order the moment it lands. The platform’s buyer protection is what gets you sorted. We are not part of the sale.
Do I get a full refund if I cancel?
That depends on the retailer’s rules and how far the order has gone. Refunds on Shopee and Lazada follow their platform policies and usually land back on your original payment method or platform wallet. The order page in the app states what you will get back and when.
The weight I received seems short. What should I do?
Weigh it fairly first: home scales read differently from calibrated factory scales, and thawing meat loses 5 to 10 percent of its weight as drip. A 2kg pack showing 1.9kg on a kitchen scale after some thawing is normal. If the shortfall is real, raise it with the seller through the platform, with photos of the pack and the scale.
Can you help if something goes wrong with an order?
The sale sits between you and the retailer, so their process is the one that gets you refunded. What we can do is act on the signal: email [email protected] about a listing that let you down, and we will re-check it and drop it if it no longer meets the bar.
