Good Things Must Come To An End

If you haven’t gotten your hands on these crazy donuts from Krispy Kreme, you better do so before this Sunday!

Krispy Kreme first launched these donuts on 17 March and everyone went crazy trying to get their hands on these limited edition donuts.

I personally love and ONLY eat the Original Glazed Donuts from Krispy Kreme so imagine how excited I was when our nation’s hero, Xavier Lur, first revealed these donuts on his Twitter.

It’s densely packed with Nutella spread and trust me, it’s not for the faint hearted.

These limited edition donuts are $3.30 per piece and sold on a first come, first serve basis.

Hurry on down to your nearest Krispy Kreme outlet and get your Hazelnut OGs before they’re removed from the menu forever.

All Subway Singapore Outlets To Stop Selling Pork From Today Onwards

Subway Singapore has announced on their Facebook page that they will no longer be serving pork products in all outlets from today onwards.

https://www.facebook.com/SubwaySingapore/posts/10155927711210935

Say Goodbye To Pork

“No pork, doesn’t mean other meat are halal already what?”

I know, I know, but this also means we’re one step closer to easing everyone into the idea of a Halal Subway!

This topic has been a hit among Singaporeans as we debate endlessly in the comments section whether “To halal or not to halal?”

Just take a look at the comments.

[caption id="attachment_33667" align="aligncenter" width="978"] Image Credit: Subway Singapore Facebook[/caption]

 

[caption id="attachment_33669" align="aligncenter" width="988"] Image Credit: Subway Singapore Facebook[/caption]

Oh, this one’s my favourite.

[caption id="attachment_33670" align="aligncenter" width="998"] Image Credit: Subway Singapore Facebook[/caption]

Someone please, just save this poor person and give her the Italian BMT already! I almost feel bad for her potential breakup with the sandwich.

Since end of January, Subway has been in talks with MUIS regarding the halal certification process. Everyone found out, threw a fit and acted as if the world was about to end.

Subway didn’t care anyway and almost 60 outlets have stopped selling pork products since 31 January. If you didn’t already know, you can see the list here.

I get it. I’m so sorry for the loss of your pork. But please, please, give us Muslims a chance to enjoy Subway. I’m so tired of travelling all the way to JB just for a goddamn sandwich.

[caption id="attachment_33673" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Gif Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

I understand that it may seem unfair to take the pork out of Subway for all the hardcore fans but let’s all calm down and wait for Subway’s explanation.

Subway may lose a couple of patrons because they no longer want to sell pork, but I’m pretty sure the rest of the non-pork eating community are more than happy to still patronise Subway.

Leave Your Dignity At The Door For A Unique Dining Experience At This Tsundere Cafe

Ah Japan, you never fail to impress us with your weird themed cafes. This one is no exception. For most eateries, you’d expect to be treated with exceptional service.

Not this one.

Pay a fee to be hurled with insults and rudely attended to by Japanese maids and butlers at Tsundere Cafe.

A Dish Best Served Cold

After a successful first run back in February, Tsundere Cafe will be back on June 9 at Luminos in Woodlands.

While it’s rather bizarre and uncommon in Singapore, customers have commented that they previously enjoyed the first pop-up.

The word ‘Tsundere’ is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially hostile before gradually showing a warmer side over time.

Customers can expect to be ignored and disrespectfully treated by the staff. They may look kawaii and demure but don’t be surprised if they slam trays on your table and throw menus at you.

If you need the staff to sayang you, pay an additional $2 for a “gacha” or special service such as feeding, massage, dekopin (forehead flick), games and polaroid photos.

Request for a particular service will cost you $5. Upon reaching your 10 gacha roll, expect a “deredere” treatment. Whatever that means.

Anyway, if you can’t deal with slow service and rudeness, don’t attempt to rebuke or scold the staff members. I mean, you literally pay to get abused, what are you expecting?

So if you really need someone to feed your masochistic side or you just want to check out what this whole cafe is about, then go ahead. Reserve a table before they run out of seats.

Tsundere Cafe
Address: 71 Woodlands Industrial Park E9, Wave 9, #09-04, Luminos, Singapore 757048

Think Out Of The Toastbox – Must-Try Kaya Toasts In Singapore You Will Love Regardless Of SES

Kaya toast is what I’d describe as the “strawberry jam with scones” of England. It’s a classic Singaporean breakfast that is best enjoyed with kopi gao and two soft-boiled eggs.

Skip your usual Ya Kun Kaya and Toast Box and go for the more traditional coffee shops that will not disappoint.

The Classic Singaporean Breakfast

1. Chin Mee Chin Confectionary

This place has been a long-running favourite among the locals. Located along East Coast Road, this nostalgic coffee shop is a nice change to modern joints.

Known for it’s decor typical of 1950s Singapore, with retro marble top tables, floor tiles, and ceiling fans. It’s also known for their traditional kaya toasts.

Instead of the kaya toast bread you’d typically see, their Kaya Toast is served in a hamburger-type bun and slathered with their homemade kaya and a slice of butter.

These buns are made in house and toasted till they are slightly burnt for that nice “char” taste. This place can get pretty busy so try and avoid peak hours if you’re looking at dining in.

Chin Mee Chin Confectionary
Address: 204 East Coast Road, Singapore 428903
Opening Hours: Tues – Sun: 8.30 am – 4pm, Closed on Mondays
Contact No.: 6345 0419

2. Dong Po Colonial Cafe

Located along Kandahar Street, it’s common to see this coffee shop packed with office workers during lunch hour.

Using only authentic recipes from the 50s and 60s, this colonial cafe lets you savour the taste of the past.

The kaya toast is generously slathered with their homemade kaya which is available for sale as well!

Here’s a tip, skip the teh and get their kopi. Be it Kopi-O, siew dai, gao or whatever, trust me. The auntie here knows how to make a legit cup of kopi.

4. Tong Ah Eating House

Tong Ah is one of the most iconic coffee shop in Singapore. Since 1939, they’ve been serving cups of kopi and kaya toast at the junction of Teck Lim and Keong Saik Road.

They’ve since relocated a few units farther down Keong Saik Road.

If you prefer crispy thin bread, then you’ll love the kaya toast served at Tong Ah.

5. Good Morning Nanyang Cafe

The kaya toast at this cafe looks like a masterpiece.

The Orange Peel Ciabatta Kaya Toast includes bits of caramelised orange peel baked into the thick bread which leaves a zesty taste lingering in your mouth.

It’s definitely not your traditional kaya toast but it’s perfect if you’re looking for something different to start your morning.

6. Coffee Break

Run by the third generation of kopi hawkers, they serve both traditional and modern fare to cater to the different generations.

Just look at that butter!

As much as I love the traditional kaya butter combination, Coffee Break serves up a couple of unique combination such as the Rum and Raisin which features a light and refreshing cream.

The Black Sesame combination is one of their best-sellers as well. The black sesame and butter combination goes surprisingly well together.

Melvin Soh, owner of Toast Hut opened his stall at Old Airport Road in 2007 selling kaya toast with home-brewed traditional coffee.

They have several different bread for you to choose from. You can opt for the traditional crispy bread or french toast.

The best part is, their kaya isn’t overly sweet. So it’s not too jelak.

This coffee shop is a hidden gem that offers authentic Hainanese fare such as chicken rice and Claypot E-fu Noodles.

However, they’re well known for their soft pillowy kaya buns that are perfectly baked in house.

Expect a generous amount of kaya on your buns, topped off with a slab of savoury butter.

This Stall’s Affordable Halal Salmon Bowls Are The CBD Lunch Crowd’s Latest Craze

Finding halal Japanese food in a hawker centre is like finding a Snorlax in Pokemon Go. It’s rare.

Even if you do come across a halal Japanese stall, it’s either confused with Korean cuisine or just simply bland and dry.

What’s a girl got to do to get cheap and good Japanese food around here?

Fret not, Big Bowls Project is here to change our opinions of halal Japanese Bowls that doesn’t compromise on it’s flavours.

Big Bowls, Big Flavours

Big Bowls Project recently opened their store at Amoy Street Food Centre which is perfect for office workers around the CBD area. Best part, they’re 100% Muslim owned.

We all know how expensive poke bowls can amount to however, Big Bowls Project sells affordable food for the masses.

At the moment, Big Bowls Project has 4 Salmon Bowls available on their menu. These includes their Mentaiko Salmon ($8.90), Big Bowl’s Homemade Recipe ($7.90), Truffle Oil Salmon ($8.90) and Szechuan Black Bean Salmon ($7.90).

Their Mentaiko Salmon definitely got us drooling. At just $8.90, it’s such a great steal!

Their Homemade Recipe Bowl is perfect if you’re looking for a healthier option for lunch. The salmon is perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned with sesame seeds.

Why eat truffle fries when you can have truffle salmon? Am I right?

Finally, we have Big Bowl’s personal favourite – Szechuan Black Bean Salmon, Cherry Tomatoes, Japanese Cucumber on top of Jasmine Brown Rice. Just look at this beauty.

Despite being relatively new in the scene, they’re pretty much selling out on a daily basis. So you have to come real early if you’d like to try a bowl for yourself.

Best part, they’ve announced that they’ll be adding customisable poke bowls to their menu during the second-half of the year. Guess who’s excited!

Who knows they might just even expand and open more stalls. Keep your fingers crossed!

To the lovely owners over at Big Bowls Project, we hope you open 20 more stalls all over Singapore so we can all enjoy your halal salmon bowls!
