Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Singapore vending machines now dispense salmon, crab and even cacti

There are several ways to get steak meat. You can go to a supermarket or butcher to buy fresh beef. You can order frozen beef online. You can also order a delivery service for a cooked steak. But none of these options is usually available instantly at midnight. Now, there is another way to get steak meat or salmon 24/7 in Singapore, the largest city-state where people are always busy. Vending Machines. They are actually contactless, safe, and easy to buy. You don’t need to worry about the social distance. You may think it’s odd to buy regular meals by a vending machine but the industry is growing having been promoted by entrepreneurs. In fact, the cost to install and operate vending machines is far cheaper than opening a store or a restaurant. There is even a chain of unstaffed convenience stores, that sell everything from plasters to baked beans out of machines. As the variety expands, more people might use vending machines as another option to get food. The question is how close the vending machine is that sells the food you want.

Enjoy reading the article and think if you may try a vending-machine-meal at home.
