There’s A Sushi Joint At Yishun Town Square With Prices From $1/Plate

Growing up, my first introduction to the world of Japanese cuisine was at the first Genki Sushi outlet at FORUM The Shopping Mall. It was quite an experience, because the food comes (and goes) on a conveyor belt right next to your table. Don’t even get me started on the tabletop hot water dispenser.

Genki Sushi might have been one of the first sushi restaurants to bring the conveyor belt concept to Singapore, but it has since been adopted by many other sushi restaurants to the point where it has almost become a sushi-specific concept.

Now, this new sushi restaurant in Yishun Town Square combines 2 of the sushi dining concepts we’ve seen before, into 1 sushi restaurant.

Introducing One Sushi.

Home-grown Sushi Restaurant

Their two-tiered conveyor belt features a regular sushi conveyor belt on the bottom, while the top tier is a “track” for “sushi cars” to deliver the sushi that you order à la carte via the iPad.

You know the way your food comes to you at Genki Sushi? In the trains? One Sushi uses “cars” instead. It’s quite fun to see your food zoom towards you.

That’s not all, the sushi conveyor belt allows diners to choose from 50 different yellow-plated sushi at just $1.50 per plate! (That’s Sushi Express’ price OMG)

If you love Ikura (salmon roe), One Sushi’s Ikura Gunkan is permanently available at $1. Another value-for-money item on the menu is the Uni Sushi at just $1.50. $1.50 for Uni (Sea Urchin) is unheard of.

Planning to order from their à la carte menu? Go for the Hamachi Kama ($13.80). One Sushi uses fresh Hamachi Kama from Japan. Hamachi Kama is the collar of Yellowtail fish. Each fish has 2 and it is usually the most fatty part of the fish.

Don’t like fish? (Why are you at a SUSHI restaurant?) Try the Hotate Mentai ($4.80) which sees scallops served in-shell, topped with a generous dollop of mentaiko that’s been blowtorched for that charred savoury finish.

One Sushi looks promising for a new and upcoming sushi restaurant. For the aunties and mothers out there, the green tea and wet tissue are free of charge. Just saying.

Lastly, every month, they will select and feature 1 sushi in the $1 category so be sure to check with the staff!

So….sushi for dinner anyone?

Meet S’pore’s Spice Boy And His Muji-Style Spice Shop In AMK

Meet Jack.

He’s a 28 year old Spice Maker in Singapore.

Anthony the Spice Maker is a hipster looking spice shop tucked away in Ang Mo Kio’s wet market. At first glance, anyone would think it’s a fancy stall selling tea leaves or coffee beans. Take a closer look and you’ll realise that it’s a shop selling spices.

Let’s be real, most of us would look at him and think, “Sure not this Chinese boy can sell Indian spices?”

Well, you’ll be surprised. He’s a Chinese boy with an Indian soul. He knows his spices inside out. He added, “For a Chinese guy, I can handle spice pretty well.”

If you were to ask any millennials whether they cook, 70% would probably say no. Eating out everyday seems like an easier option. If you ask me to replicate my mom’s home cooked dishes, I’ll probably give up and order McDonald’s instead.

Heck, I bet half us don’t even know the names of the different spices to begin with.

So that’s where Anthony The Spice Maker comes in. He makes cooking easier for all you millennials out there who are learning how to cook.

The Spice Mecca

The store was first started by Jack’s grandfather in 1986. After completing his National Service obligations, Jack was finally hit with the realisation that he needed a job. That’s when his father, Anthony, told him to join the business. Since then, Jack has been running the Ang Mo Kio outlet while his father runs the one in Chinatown.

Naturally, a first time cook will feel intimidated stepping into this shop.

“So many spices? Where do I start?”

Jack will come to your rescue. If you’re a newcomer, he’ll take his time to explain the differences between the ready-made rempahs that are available in the fridge and the dry spice blends that are packaged nicely in those brown paper bags.

The spices that he sells are perfect for busy young couples or home cooks. If you’re working a 9 – 5 job, you know that all you want at the end of the day is a quick simple meal. He explains that if you’re someone with a busy lifestyle, he’ll recommend the ready made rempah which is crafted for time-starved customers.

He prides in the fact that he uses high grade spices to make his rempahs. No preservatives, M.S.G. and artificial additives are used in the making of his rempahs. So if you’re health conscious, this is the healthier option as compared to buying those instant rempah you can get at most supermarkets.

If you’re a slightly advanced home cook and you trust that people won’t get food poisoning from your cooking, he will recommend getting the dry spice blends which you can use to adjust to your preferences. We heard that their best selling Curry Powder Singapura has quite a bit of a kick to it!

Best part, his spices are basically dummy-proof. Each packaging comes with a label that lists the ingredients and an instruction that explains what it is used for.

While the spice blends and rempah are available online, I highly recommend going down to the outlet instead. You’ll be able to interact with him and get a better understanding of what you’re buying.

However if you are pressed for time, you can check out the available spices online. In fact, if you know anyone who’s missing home cooked flavours, they ship their spices as well.

50 Cents Is All You Need To Get Yourself Some Old School Dishes At This Festival

You know how when you’re younger and your grandparents will always tell you about the good old days, where life was tough, internet wasn’t available, but people were happy.

It was a simpler time where Singaporeans didn’t have unemployment and mobile data caps to worry about. No wonder my grandparents grew up right.

On 28 and 29 July 2018, bring your ah gong and ah ma out to Chinatown for them to reminisce a little, and relive the good old days at the 50 Cents Fest 2018!

Old School Singaporean Food For Just 50 Cents

This time, the 50 Cents Fest is throwing it back even further, taking visitors back to the golden era of the 1930s, with the Chinatown Food Street undergoing an 30s makeover, selling long-lost Singaporean dishes at the price of the yesteryears.

This is the 3rd edition of the amazing event that debuted at the Singapore Food Festival 2016. If this is your first time going to the festival, you can expect to find authentic 1930s local fare.

Some of the dishes you can get there include Kerabu Bee Hoon (a stir fried spicy, sweet and sour bee hoon dish. Think, dry mee siam), Fish Molee (a fish curry stew), and the polarising Kopi Gu You (black coffee with butter).

There will be more than 40 dishes available at the fest, with over 20 dishes priced at an unbelievable 50 cents. Food for 50 cents in this economy? Bo ko leng. But I’m telling you, it’s real.

That’s not all, there will also be entertainment acts available. Catch Taxi Girl and traditional opera performances, or walk down the streets of the 1930s with a one-of-a-kind virtual reality installation!

Don’t miss out on this 2-day food fest. Run and tell ah gong and ah ma about this! Mai tu liao!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 Donki’s Upcoming 2nd Outlet In Tanjong Pagar Sells Food That CBD Workers Can Easily ‘Dabao’

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?)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

“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
