What is a retro biscuits live station?
A retro biscuits live station is a heritage snack station where a dedicated FunCo operator serves classic old-school Singapore biscuits from a traditional display throughout your event. Guests choose from a colourful assortment of mama shop favourites — scooped and served directly to them.
What are retro biscuits?
Retro biscuits — also called old-school biscuits or mama shop biscuits — are classic biscuit varieties traditionally sold loose from tin containers at neighbourhood provision shops across Singapore. Common favourites include iced gem biscuits, chocolate finger biscuits, animal biscuits, pink-and-white marshmallow biscuits, and Khong Guan assorted biscuits.
What biscuit varieties are included?
A classic mama shop assortment — typically including iced gem biscuits, chocolate finger biscuits, animal biscuits, marshmallow biscuits, coconut biscuits, and Marie biscuits. Contact us to confirm the specific assortment available for your event date.
Does the live station require power?
No — the station is fully portable and requires no electricity, making it suitable for any indoor, outdoor, sheltered, or open-air venue.
Is the retro biscuits live station halal?
Halal-friendly options are available on request. Confirm dietary requirements at the point of booking and we'll advise on suitable biscuit selections.
What allergens are present?
Most retro biscuits contain wheat and milk, and may contain traces of nuts and eggs depending on variety. We recommend clearly labelling the station and offering alternatives for guests with allergies.
How is this different from prepacked retro biscuits?
The live station delivers the authentic open-display mama shop experience with a dedicated operator — visual, nostalgic, and social. Prepacked retro biscuits come in individually sealed branded packs — better for corporate giveaways and high-footfall self-serve setups. Many clients use both at the same event.
Is the station suitable for outdoor events?
Yes — no power and no humidity-sensitive ingredients make the retro biscuits station one of the most outdoor-friendly live food stations we offer.
How many guests can the station serve?
Scooping from a display is fast — the station handles high guest volumes with ease. We advise on quantity planning at the point of booking based on your expected guest count and event duration.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 7 working days in advance. Peak seasons — National Day, CNY, year-end D&Ds, and school carnival season — fill up quickly. Two to three weeks earlier is safer.
How long can I rent the live station for?
We offer flexible rental durations — hourly packages and full-day event setups are both available. Contact us with your event timeline for a tailored quote.
Can I brand the live station with my company logo?
Station signage options are available as an add-on. For individual branded packaging, consider prepacked retro biscuits where every pack includes a 5cm customised sticker.
Do you deliver across Singapore?
Yes, FunCo delivers islandwide across Singapore including Sentosa, Tuas, Changi, and Jurong Island. Delivery charges may vary depending on your venue and time slot.
Do you price match with other vendors?
Yes. FunCo offers price matching across our event rental services. Share a quote from another Singapore vendor and we'll match it where possible.
