hmm, what is more important to you - functionality or looks?

if functionality win hands down, i'd suggest concrete support for both stove and sink area

you can even go for the cement screed look for an industrial feel

alternatively, stainless steel cabinets are also a good choice

i'd go for quartz for easy maintenance

but it's neither pretty nor cheap

i only know earnest interior has it

should cost around $140psf

think it came into the singapore market not too long ago

maybe you can ask your contractor if they have it

you can check out stile or builders mart, think they carry it too !!
