[Review] OurPasar Essentials: An Online Halal Grocer that Meets your Daily Needs

In the past year, many of us have turned to online retailers and service providers to avoid crowds due to the pandemic. In one way or another, we have/ have heard of friends who have become e-experts overnight - from buying online groceries to attending classes via ZOOM.

I was recently introduced to OurPasar, an online halal grocer which sells a wide range of produce such as meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables.

I tried their service to deliver 1 kg of Frozen Sirloin to my home. Here's my review:

My item was delivered in a clean new styrofoam box to retain temperatures and the raw beef was fully submerged in ice. The beef was still kept frozen (and not half thawed), so thumbs up for that!

The beef I purchased was frozen so I had expected it to have been at least a few months old. Surprisingly, my sirloin was just packed the day before.

OurPasar's goal is to keep its produce fresh by shortening the gap between food producers to end consumers. It tightly controls the supply chain and keeps processes efficient to ensure sustained quality and freshness of the produce from farm to table.

OurPasar's price is comparable to supermarkets and wet markets. For instance, their vegetables are less than S$2.50 and the sirloin I had was is at S$15/kg (U.P. S$17).
