The latest reason to make the Singapore-Johor Bahru crossing is a supermarket that never shuts. ST Rosyam Mart opened its Tampoi outlet at Paragon Market Place on 12 September 2026, and it trades around the clock - meaning you can time your Causeway crossing for the quiet hours, fill a trolley at 2am and be home before the weekend queue even forms.

This is the tenth outlet for the Malaysian chain, founded in 2018 by Sri Ternak Group with actor Datuk Rosyam Nor, and its first in Johor. It's also the brand's biggest, at roughly 70,000sqft, with over 40,000 products on the shelves. Everything is halal - no pork or lard anywhere in the store - and prices lean wholesale, covering fresh produce, household goods and bulk staples like soy sauce and canned food.

The headline act is the fresh meat and seafood counter, where prices undercut anything you'd pay in Singapore: silver whiting (ikan bulus) at RM30.90/kg (about S$9.72) and ikan pelaling at RM16.90/kg (around S$5.31). Butchers are on hand even in the small hours, and the store hands out free ice packs so your prawns survive the drive back and any checkpoint delay. One catch to know before you load up: Singapore's SFA bars travellers from bringing meat back from Malaysia, while seafood is capped at 5kg per person. So the ice packs are for fish, not chicken - unless you're staying in JB and hosting a BBQ there.

Getting there is straightforward. The mart sits along Jalan Tampoi, about 20 minutes' drive from the JB Checkpoint - far enough out to dodge the tourist-mall crush, with 700 free parking bays at a mall whose facade is styled after a railway station in tribute to the KTM line running past. No car? Causeway Link buses run from JB Sentral to the Opp Paragon Market Place stop for RM1-RM3 (roughly S$0.31-S$0.94), though they only show up hourly, so a Grab is the saner choice when you're hauling groceries.

Beyond the aisles, the store rolls out more than 20 free customer services. Confirmed so far: the ice packs and complimentary drinking water. Other branches offer free trolley use, butcher services, powerbank loans, tyre inflators and car jump-starters, and the JB list is expected to follow suit.

For anyone who already does regular JB runs, the appeal is obvious: you shop when nobody else does, at prices that make the trip pay for itself. Pair it with JB's late-night food scene and you've got a proper overnight adventure that ends with a fully stocked fridge. (Exchange rate cited: S$1 = MYR3.18 as of 28 October 2026.)
