Ah Tan Proves He’s S’pore’s Lord Of The Wings – Amazing ‘Har Cheong Gai’ For $1.70

First of all, let me start by saying this – I don’t care for chicken wings.

Chicken wings seem to evolve into everyone’s favourite party food eventually and I never caught on. I’m the one who goes for fried rice at buffets and the hot dogs at barbecues while people tackle the seafood and chicken wings. After all, if people like me don’t exist, then the fried rice cook for what?

BUT, I will make an exception for prawn paste chicken, better known as Har Cheong Gai, to Singaporeans who know their tze char.

[caption id="attachment_34994" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]prawn paste chicken Image Credit: Image Credit: Ah Tan Wings[/caption]

That, is what Ah Tan Wings has managed to perfect.

Ah Tan Wings The Chicken Game

Ah Tan Wings has garnered lots of attention previously, with their pop-ups at the Kranji Countryside Farmer’s Market and Civic District Festival, to name a few.

[caption id="attachment_34995" align="aligncenter" width="768"]Ah Tan Wings Image Credit: Vulcan Post[/caption]

After all, if you were in a market and you smell Har Cheong Gai being cooked, you wouldn’t miss it. Har Cheong Gai is potentially one of the most fragrant fried food we have.

So because Ah Tan Wings is in high demand, the owner decided to open a stall in Yishun Hawker Centre. You can read the whole story on how he started the business here. We talk about food one. Lai, we move on to the chicken.

[caption id="attachment_34996" align="aligncenter" width="645"]Ah Tan Wings Image Credit: Burppler Peiwen.T[/caption]

Now, you already know that Ah Tan Wings specialises in Har Cheong Gai and you can’t go wrong with it. When you’re there, order their Atas Wing Meal ($5.20), which comes with 2 chicken wings and 2 drumsticks, buttered rice (OMG) and a sunny side-up.

[caption id="attachment_35000" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Image Credit: Vulcan Post[/caption]

You already know I don’t like chicken wings but this one, SOLID AH. But then I hear y’all aunties behind complaining about portion. “$5 for 4 pieces only? Expensive leh. Bo hua (not worth it). ”

Auntie, you wait. That’s not all Ah Tan Wings serves. If you want more bang for your buck, then order the Atas Cutlet Meal ($6.50).

[caption id="attachment_34997" align="aligncenter" width="645"]Ah Tan Wings Image Credit: Burppler Raine Liu[/caption]

For $6.50, you get a decent sized fillet of prawn paste chicken thigh that has more flavour with every bite than their chicken wings, as well as the buttered rice and a sunny side-up.

To be honest, this one more wu hua (worth it).

If you’re looking for a smaller portion, Ah Tan also have. $3 will get you 1 portion of chicken wing and drumstick, buttered rice, and a sunny side-up.

Or if you’re with friends, then order the chicken wings a la carte at just $1.70 per piece!

Ah Tan Wings sells out quite quickly, so if you’re feeling brave and want to venture into Yishun, don’t waste the trip and stop by Ah Tan’s because where else can you get Har Cheong Gai to die for?

DON DON DON, DONKI~

If the song isn’t stuck in your head, it just means you haven’t gone to the Don Don Donki at Orchard Central. Or maybe you’re just one of the veteran shoppers that listen to your own music as you shop.

If you haven’t been to Don Don Donki, you live in Sengkang is it?

This 2-storey wonderland practically brings Japan to Singapore. They have (almost) everything you want, need and never knew you needed, like the insanely popular roasted sweet potato. (Sweet potato never eat before meh?)

[caption id="attachment_34977" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Image Credit: Yelp[/caption]

Really though, I love Don Don Donki and the best part is that it never closes. NEVER CLOSES leh. It makes 7-11 look like a joke.

[caption id="attachment_34974" align="aligncenter" width="1848"]Don Don Donki Image Credit: Don Don Donki[/caption] [caption id="attachment_34975" align="aligncenter" width="1313"]Don Don Donki Image Credit: Don Don Donki[/caption]

So if you love Don Don Donki as much as I do but you’re low to middle SES like me and don’t travel to Orchard everyday, then you’d be glad to know that the Don Don Don-team (don’t quote me on this) have heard our low SES complains and are opening a 2nd outlet at Tanjong Pagar!

Don Don Don, Don’t You Wish Your NTUC Was Hot Like Me?

I’ll get straight to the point.

The 2nd outlet will be opening in 100AM Mall at Tanjong Pagar on 14 June 2018 at 10am.

[caption id="attachment_34972" align="aligncenter" width="800"]Don Don Donki Image Credit: Don Don Donki Image Credit: Burppler Jx Eats[/caption]

There will also be special promotions on the opening day, as well as games, freebies and giveaways.

So if you’re a kiasu auntie or a curious cat, then gird your loins because this is the closest thing Singapore is going to have to a Black Friday sale rush.

Well, at least this outlet is MUCH nearer to me. Don Don Don’t Shove Me~

This New Halal Fried Chicken Joint Serves 3 Levels Of Heat, Cooked With The World’s Spiciest Peppers

Taufik Batisah has grown to become a household name for most Singaporeans. Asides from being the winner of the first season of Singapore Idol, he was every girl’s crush growing up (well, for me at least).

There have been plenty of rumours surrounding the opening of this eatery and the wait is finally over. You can now enjoy Nashville style fried chicken from Chix Hot Chicken.

Can Sing, Can Dance, Can Sell Chicken

Inspired by South America’s love for fried chicken, Chix Hot Chicken specialises in Nashville Style Hot Chicken served with the world’s spiciest peppers. The chicken is served atop a slice of white bread and pickle chips.

[caption id="attachment_34946" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]

The options come in Quarter ($9.90) with a choice of thigh and leg or breast and wing; Half ($18.90) or 3 Whole Wings ($10.90).

You can also choose your spice level – Mild Hotness, Extra Hotness or Insane Hotness.

[caption id="attachment_34947" align="aligncenter" width="1178"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]

Now here’s the fun part. If you think you can handle your spice well, try out the “Extra Hotness” level first. The chicken skin is typically rubbed with ground cayenne peppers, however, in this case – ghost peppers.

The Ghost Pepper exploded in popularity on YouTube and other social sites where pepperheads eat whole Ghost Peppers as part of a challenge. The ghost pepper is rated at more than 1 million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), enough to make a grown man cry.

[caption id="attachment_34950" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]

If you’re someone who knows no fear and thinks, “Aiya, ghost pepper no kick. Give me something crazier.”

Then you’ll love the “Insane Hotness”. The chicken skin is seasoned with Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper, which typically rates at 2 million SHUs.

If you plan on trying this out, then we highly recommend taking an MC from work because God knows what’s that going to do to your intestines. If you’re feeling bored with life and you need something to spice things up, then we dare you to take up the Insane Hotness challenge.

Tell us how it goes for you!

If you’re more of a “no thanks, I’m good without spice” kind of person, you can get the The Original ($9.90, $10.90, $18.90) – buttermilk fried chicken made from a mixture of spices inspired from New Orleans. Your stomach will definitely thank you for this.

[caption id="attachment_34949" align="aligncenter" width="1080"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]

You can also enjoy their chicken in a burger form. Their Soul Sliders ($12) comes with a juicy boneless chicken served with slaw, pickles and pink mayo sandwiched between two buttered buns.

[caption id="attachment_34948" align="aligncenter" width="950"] Image Credit: Chix Hot Chicken Facebook[/caption]

Also, if you’re looking for a Sunday brunch date, Chix Hot Chicken serves Chicken and Waffles ($14.90) as well! Do take note that they’re only available on Sundays.

If you’re looking for an eatery to hit up this weekend, then this is the best place to enjoy hearty and delicious fried chicken with your friends.

Who knows, you might even bump into Taufik Batisah while you’re enjoying your fried chicken!

Do note that they’re still in their soft launch phase. They have limited supply every day so you better head down early if you want to get your hands on them. If you’re running out of luck, don’t fret. Chix Hot Chicken will officially open on 19 June which means there’ll be more fried chicken for us to enjoy.

Order Your Kopi And We’ll Tell You What Kind Of Person You Are

Forget what Harry Potter house you belong in, or whether you’re an Aries or Virgo.

Kopi, however you drink it, tells a lot about your personality.

There are plenty of ways that one can enjoy Kopi (some better than others of course), everyone has a special order that they swear by.

1. Kopi O Kosong

By far, the most authentic way to enjoy your Kopi.

Just like the kopi, the authenticity resonates with all the things that you do.

No sugar no milk. You don’t sugarcoat your opinions because you know people will either love you or hate you – might as well keep it real with them.

Your friends come to you for advice because they know you’re the best person to turn to in times of need. Others may shy away when the going gets tough, but not you. You’re a strong and tough one.

2. Kopi

You’re basic, just like your kopi.

Undoubtedly, the safest and simplest way to consume your kopi. Just the right kopi-milk-sugar ratio, you blend in with the rest.

You’re less likely to end up with a poorly made cup of kopi but you’re also less likely to be remembered at any social events.

But just like regular kopi, you’ve got everything sorted out. You’ve got life all figured out.

3. Kopi C

You’re skinny like Taylor Swift in an evening gown.

Regular Kopi is not gonna work because you have to watch that waistline of yours.

Your diet consists of avocado toasts and acai bowls. You have Aerial Yoga on weekdays and weekends are for CruCycling.

Your fitspo is Sandra Riley Tang and you ONLY buy Lululemon tights.

4. Kopi Siew Dai

While others prefer their coffee bitter or sweet, you’re right in the middle.

You’re the perfect balance.

It’s not that you don’t like bitter or sweet coffee, you just prefer it that way. It’s just who you are.

You’re a cautious individual who appreciates moderations in all aspect of your life. Your significant other loves you because you give moderately and don’t ask for too much in return either. You make the perfect partner.

5. Kopi Ga Dai

You’re the opposite of your sibling, Kopi Siew Dai. You live life to your fullest (and most diabetic).

You enjoy your kopi with lots of milk and sugar because you swear that’s how kopi should be enjoyed.

You probably order a double McSpicy because you don’t know fear. It’s not in your dictionary but it’s definitely in your menu. You eat it for breakfast. Fear is afraid of you.

However, you may also be a little too reckless. So order your Kopi Ga Dai in a cup instead of a plastic bag. Go big or go hospital, as they say.

6. Kopi Peng

While some may enjoy their kopi hot, you love it cold. You’re like the rainbow after the rain. The calm before the storm.

You’re a ray of sunshine and everybody loves you. Especially in Singapore’s ridiculous weather, everyone comes running to you.

You’re the unsung hero of Singapore. We love you and we appreciate you.

7. Kopi Gu You

Only 2.8% of you make up the Kopi Gu Yao clan.

You’re punk rock in a world of pop. You break the status quo.

There’s no such thing as regular kopi in your world.

Your mantra? You’re not hardcore unless you live hardcore. Also, you’re slightly insane and we’re all afraid of you.

9. Kopi Cino

You’re a true millennial.

Instead of Instagramming a tall soy latte frappucino, two pumps of vanilla, whip, double shot of espresso, extra hot but not too hot, from Starbucks, your “Iced Coffee” comes in a plastic bag because #Original.

If you could rename Kopi Cino, you’d probably spell it as KP CN because who cares for vowels anymore?

You love being extra and every single one of your Instagram posts has an emoji for a caption because words are overrated.

Is McGriddles Still The Same Good Stuff From 2 Years Back? We Did A Taste Test With 6 McVictims

So if you haven’t seen our updated article here, let me bring you up to speed.

The McGriddles is now available in McDonald’s outlets islandwide as well as McDelivery. Before you go “Eh but I thought you said 7 June!?”, RELAX.

It’s a soft launch. The official launch date is still 7 June 2018. But that’s not what you really care about. You want to know whether the McGriddles is nice or not, right?

Don’t worry, we got you fam. We ordered the McGriddles and got some McVictims to try. Here’s what they had to say.

Daniel

[caption id="attachment_34919" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Have you had the McGriddles before?

Nope.

Since this is your first time having it, what’s your impression?

It’s alright. I don’t hate it. I would definitely order it again, but if it is removed tomorrow, I wouldn’t cry over it.

What do you like or dislike about it?

It tastes like when I order hotcakes and drench it with maple syrup. But I don’t think I will want it all together in a burger. To be fair, I am liking it even more with each bite I take.

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

I’ll rate it 3.5 out of 5.

Marie

[caption id="attachment_34921" align="aligncenter" width="4032"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Have you had the McGriddles before?

YES!

Is this current one any different from the one you’ve eaten before?

It’s the exact same taste that I fell in love with 2 years ago and I’m so glad that it’s back 😀

What do you like or dislike about it?

It’s both sweet and savoury, which is a flavour combination that I really love.

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

I’ll rate it a 4 out of 5 because it’s one of my favourites and it’s damn good.

Jacky

[caption id="attachment_34920" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

(Disclaimer: He wolfed the McGriddles down before any of us.)

Have you had the McGriddles before?

Never.

Since this is your first time having it, what’s your impression?

I don’t really have anything good to say about it.

What do you like or dislike about it?

I don’t really like it because the bun is too soft. I prefer the Sausage McMuffin, to be honest.

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

I rate it a 3 out of 5. Too soft already. Like, the Sausage McMuffin is a SOLID 4.5 out of 5 for me. So I’ll go for that any day.

Alanna

[caption id="attachment_34922" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Have you had the McGriddles before?

Yes I ate it before.

Is this current one any different from the one you’ve eaten before?

I don’t quite remember the taste of the previous McGriddles so I cannot really compare.

What do you like or dislike about it?

I like that the sweet and savoury blends well together but at the same time, I find that the McGriddles bun is too soft for my liking.

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

I rate it a 3 out of 5. I’m not really a huge fan of it but it’s still quite a decent “burger”, if I can call it that.

Priscilla

[caption id="attachment_34923" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Have you had the McGriddles before?

Nope, never tried it before.

Since this is your first time having it, what’s your impression?

I like it! I would definitely order this again. I hope it doesn’t get removed from the menu. But if it does, then that’s life I guess.

What do you like or dislike about it?

I like it because I like Hotcakes and eating this is like I’m eating Hotcakes and Sausage McMuffin together.

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

I give it a 3.5 out of 5. Tough critic ah.

Ian

[caption id="attachment_34924" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

Have you had the McGriddles before?

I’ve had McGriddles once before, though it was right before they were taken off the menu.

Is this current one any different from the one you’ve eaten before?

I can’t really remember what the McGriddles came with in the past, but if we’re just talking about the “bun”, then it’s exactly the same as I remember, in terms of texture and flavour.

What do you like or dislike about it?

I like the McGriddles because I find that the McMuffin “bun” or muffin, is too bland.

So sometimes if I’ve taken a bite that’s too big and finished more sausage than “bun”, then I’m left with a large piece of bland muffin. This sounds like a euphemism. It’s not.

But anyway, with the McGriddles, I’m alright with just eating the “bun” alone because it’s sweet!

Rate the McGriddles out of 5.

This is a 4 out of 5. My only gripe is that it gets soggy quite quickly. So eat it as soon as you get it. Mai tu liao.

So there, you have 6 reviews of the Sausage McGriddles with Egg.

This is not a sponsored post so these reviews are like, 99.9% legit. The 0.01% is to take into account that everyone has different tastes when it comes to food.

If you don’t believe us, then please, by all means, order your own McGriddles here or at any McDonald’s outlet islandwide!

Old Chang Kee Finally Opens First London Outlet – Sells Curry Puff At £2.80 A Pop

Nobody in Singapore does fried food better than Old Chang Kee. Nobody.

For over half a century, Singaporeans from all walks of life have enjoyed Old Chang Kee’s hot snacks and lip-smacking quick bites. I remember buying my favourite Curry’O after school if I had any spare change. It was definitely one of my fondest memories growing up Singaporean.

Our homegrown fried food snack chain and national treasure, Old Chang Kee is now open and serving our famous curry puffs to the people of London!

[caption id="attachment_34902" align="aligncenter" width="1757"] Image Credit: Old Chang Kee UK Facebook[/caption]

S’pore’s Famous Curry Puffs

Located at Covent Garden, which is London’s main theatre and entertainment area – the shop is the franchise’s first foray into Europe.

What started off as a small stall in a coffeeshop outside the former Rex Cinema along Mackenzie Road has now claimed a spot along one of London’s busiest streets.

[caption id="attachment_34901" align="aligncenter" width="909"] Image Credit: Old Chang Kee UK Facebook[/caption]

It’s heartwarming, really, to see one of our homegrown brand become an international name.

We finally get to share our favourite curry puffs with the people of London and we truly hope that they love it as much as we do!

If you’re wondering what they’ll be serving, diners can expect to tuck into popular items such as the Chicken Curry Puffs, Curry Potato Puffs, Mushroom Chicken Puffs and Curry Chicken Rice Sets.

[caption id="attachment_34903" align="aligncenter" width="1290"] Image Credit: Burpple User Weekendeatwhat[/caption]

“But curry puff can survive in London meh?”

If you’re wondering whether these fried snacks can survive in London’s food scene – they can! London is also such a melting pot of international cuisines, so there’s definitely a place for Singaporean food.

Also, what’s better than tea and scones? Curry puffs and hot coffee – that’s for sure!

When the chain had a two day pop-up event in north-west London, the response was overwhelming! About 1,200 puffs were snapped up in the two-day event. They were sold out within four hours each day.

I guess the British love curry puffs as much as we do.

If you have friends and family residing in London, they can FINALLY get a taste of home in a foreign place. No more 2am cravings for curry puffs in the cold weather.

If you’re ever in London, be sure to pay Old Chang Kee a visit #supportlocal

This Hawker Stall In Queenstown Sells Fluffy Soufflé Pancakes For Just $1.50 Each

When I was a kid, I looked forward to Sunday mornings because that meant hotcakes from McDonald’s. I never quite understood why their hotcakes made me happy but all I knew was that the more maple syrup I poured and the more butter I spread, the happier I felt.

There’s just something comforting about digging into a plate of pancakes drenched in maple syrup and butter on a Sunday morning.

About a year ago, Insider released a video of the jiggliest most fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Ever since then, everyone forgot about good ol’ buttermilk pancakes because these Soufflé Pancakes were the next big thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaRWq0gXAk

Just like any foodie, I searched high and low for affordable Soufflé Pancakes in Singapore.

Until recently, I came across these cute soufflé pancakes selling for $1.50 each at Mei Ling Hawker Centre!

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle

If you’re not familiar with soufflé pancakes, they’re lighter and fluffier than regular pancakes. Which explains why everyone has been jiggling this dessert for the ‘gram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgpt04kgP35/?tagged=soufflepancakes

You can get these pancakes in cafes and restaurants but they’ll definitely cost you more than $10.

The soufflé pancakes from Sweet Rex comes in a set of 2 for just $3!

[caption id="attachment_34894" align="aligncenter" width="1258"] Image Credit: @foodiegoh[/caption]

The fluffy pancakes from Sweet Rex are freshly made and served with a sauce of your choice – caramel, strawberry or chocolate. It’s everything you ever want in a pancake – light, airy and not too sweet.

If you could bite into clouds, then this is how I’d describe eating the soufflé pancakes from Sweet Rex.

Additionally, the stall also sells cheesecakes and puddings you can get at a low price. Here’s evidence that you can eat good even when you’re on a budget!

[caption id="attachment_34895" align="aligncenter" width="1250"] Image Credit: @sweet.rex[/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_34896" align="aligncenter" width="1228"] Image Credit: @sweet.rex[/caption]

There’s chocolate, Thai milk tea, kopi, ginger and matcha pudding – which you can get at $2 each.

We highly recommend getting the Lemon Cheesecake ($3.80) which looks like “tofu”. The cake is a perfect balance of creamy and tangy, making it easy on the palate.

If you’re ever in Queenstown, then head down for Sweet Rex’s affordable desserts. However, they are only opened on weekends, and sporadically on weekdays. If you’re ever heading down on weekdays, best to give them a call!

Does this mean, “No need to fly to Hong Kong liao?”

Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, we’re excited to finally get Tsui Wah’s famous milk tea and treats without having to pay for a flight ticket.

1. Crispy Bun with Sweet Condensed Milk

“Crispy Bun served with sweet condensed milk” is Tsui Wah’s reinvention of a classic Hong Kong snack.

[caption id="attachment_34866" align="aligncenter" width="1392"] Image Credit: @zaobaosg.lifestyle[/caption]

Each freshly baked bun is richly coated with thick butter and condensed milk, giving it an irresistible taste that is crispy on the outside and soft inside.

Everyone raves about the Hainanese Chicken Rice at Tsui Wah, so if you’re looking for real good comfort food, their Chicken Rice should definitely be one of your choices.

3. Fish Balls & Fish Cakes with Flat Rice Noodles in Fish Soup 

If you’re in need of a warm, hearty bowl of soup, this dish won’t disappoint.

Tsui Wah fish balls are made daily with handpicked yellow eels and over 10 types of fresh fish. Some have claimed that they’ve had better fish soups in Singapore, but if you’re looking for a quick, fuss free supper choice, then get this fish soup!

This is definitely the ultimate go-to after drinks at Clarke Quay!

4. Swiss Sauce Chicken Wings

Tsui Wah takes this Cantonese favourite to the next level by marinating the wings with aromatic sweet soy sauce. The wings absorb the sweet soy sauce fully and offer a real treat of juiciness and tenderness.

This dish is finger lickin’ good, that’s for sure.

5. King Prawns in XO Sauce with Tossed Noodles

This is one of Tsui Wah’s signature items as well!

Their king prawns are succulent and fresh! The noodles are slightly chewy and thin. It also comes with chilli on the side for that extra kick.

Honestly, this seems like a dish most won’t mind eating everyday!

6. HK Milk Tea

Saving the best for last, Tsui Wah combines premium Ceylon tea leaves and with many years of teas-training know-how to bring the perfect cup.

With a touch of Holland’s Black & White evaporated milk in a preheated teacup, this milk tea is perfection.

We’re extremely excited for Tsui Wah’s first outlet in Clarke Quay. As much as we’d all love a trip to Hong Kong for a break, I’m definitely happy that we can FINALLY get their famous dishes and milk tea right here in Singapore.

We definitely expect long queues on June 15, so go early to beat the crowd!

McGriddles Is Now On McDelivery – And It’s Available All Day!

2 years ago, a treasure was taken from us.

No I’m not talking about a person. I’m talking about the McGriddles.

For some reason, McDonald’s Singapore thought it was a good move to remove the McGriddles from their menu. (It wasn’t.)

But yesterday, they dropped a video, hinting at the return of the beloved McGriddles.

This is the video:

Gone are the days of dealing with semi-soggy, somewhat bland McMuffins because the reigning champion of syrup-y goodness that is the McGriddles is finally making a comeback on 7 June 2018.

If you’ve never had McGriddles, what are you even doing with your life? Honestly.

The iconic McGriddles tastes like a spongey McMuffin that has been soaked in maple syrup, absorbing and sponging up all that sweet golden goodness. And it’s used to sandwich an egg, a sausage patty and cheese.

If that doesn’t sound good to you, I don’t know what does.

You know what, that’s probably going to be all I’m eating for the week following 7 June.

We’ll see. In the meantime, McGriddles hurry and make your comeback because I’m hungry.

UPDATE:

So turns out, the McGriddles has quietly slid out of the grill and into our McDelivery menu.

Yes, you can now order the McGriddles via McDelivery!

Apparently it’s also available in McDonald’s outlets islandwide.

Sneaky sneaky McDonald’s. That’s not all, the McGriddles is now an all-day item so don’t panic if you missed the breakfast menu.

Hurry and order your McGriddles here now!
