What are retro biscuits?
Retro biscuits — also called old-school biscuits or mama shop biscuits — are traditional biscuit varieties sold loose from tin containers at neighbourhood provision shops in Singapore and Malaysia. Common favourites include iced gem biscuits, chocolate finger biscuits, animal biscuits, pink-and-white marshmallow biscuits, and Khong Guan assorted biscuits.
How many prepacked retro biscuit packs should I order?
Order one pack per guest, plus a 10–15% buffer. For a 200-pax event, that's around 220–230 packs. For roadshows with walk-in traffic, plan for 1.3 to 1.5 times your expected footfall.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 7 working days in advance to allow time for sticker artwork and production. Peak seasons such as year-end D&Ds, National Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and Deepavali fill up faster, so two to three weeks earlier is safer.
Can I customise the sticker design?
Yes. Every pack includes a 5 cm diameter customised sticker. Send your logo or design in PNG or AI format and we'll print and apply it. Standard turnaround is 5–7 working days from artwork approval.
Can I choose specific biscuit varieties?
Yes — let us know your preferences (e.g. iced gem only, no animal biscuits, mixed assortment) and we'll advise on options based on your order quantity.
Are the prepacked retro biscuits halal?
Halal-friendly ingredients are available on request. Let us know your dietary requirements at the point of booking and we'll confirm options for your event.
How long do prepacked retro biscuits stay fresh?
Each pack is sealed at source and stays fresh for several weeks when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. We recommend serving within the same week of delivery for optimal crispness.
Are retro biscuits suitable for corporate events?
Absolutely. They're an excellent choice for Singapore-themed D&Ds, heritage corporate gatherings, and events that want a nostalgic local touch. The branded sticker turns each pack into a takeaway gift that doubles as marketing — particularly powerful for clients targeting older or local-pride demographics.
Do retro biscuits contain common allergens?
Yes — most retro biscuits contain wheat, milk, and may contain traces of nuts and eggs depending on the variety. We recommend clearly labelling the snack station at your event and offering an alternative such as prepacked popcorn for guests with allergies.
Are these the same biscuits sold at mama shops?
Yes — we source the same classic biscuit varieties traditionally sold at neighbourhood mama shops and provision shops across Singapore. Older guests often recognise specific biscuits from their childhood, which is part of the appeal.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantities apply to make custom sticker production worthwhile. Contact us with your guest count and we'll advise based on your event size and budget.
