Hong Kong’s Famous Tsui Wah Cafe To Open First S’pore Outlet This June

Famed for their milk tea and condensed milk buns, Tsui Wah has risen to become a household name in Hong Kong.

Just like any other typical Singaporean, you can’t leave Hong Kong without getting a cup of “I love Tsui Wah” milk tea or pre packed bottles to bring home and indulge in the comfort of your own home.

The Cha Chaan Teng has confirmed it will open its first Southeast Asia outlet – with a seating capacity of over 140 from 1pm on June 15 at Clarke Quay.

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.

Milk Tea For Days

The most famous Cha Chaan Teng in Hong Kong is undisputedly Tsui Wah Restaurant. Locals and tourists alike flock to Tsui Wah Restaurant for their signature milk tea and crispy bun with condensed milk.

With a network of over 60 outlets in Hong Kong, Macau and China, Tsui Wah manages to maintain its high standards across all their branches.

So for all you Tsui Wah fans, mark your calendars as your favourite Cha Chaan Teng makes a debut in Singapore.

If this is your first time hearing about Tsui Wah, don’t worry. Here are some of the signature items you should try.

Disclaimer: Some of the items may not be in their menu during their opening but more exciting updates are to come as the menu progressively expands in the upcoming months!

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.

2. Hainanese Chicken Rice

Juicy, boneless and tender, the dish is served with a bowl of flavoured rice made with chicken stock, basil and lemon grass.

[caption id="attachment_34870" align="aligncenter" width="1174"] Image Credit: @7layerdiep[/caption]

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.

[caption id="attachment_34865" align="aligncenter" width="1076"] Image Credit: @missfoodieny[/caption]

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.

[caption id="attachment_34869" align="aligncenter" width="1342"] Image Credit: @foodienando[/caption]

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!

[caption id="attachment_34868" align="aligncenter" width="1344"] Image Credit: @yuwwie[/caption]

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.

[caption id="attachment_34867" align="aligncenter" width="1348"] Image Credit: @foodiesister.id[/caption]

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!

Artbox 2018: What To Eat, Drink And Buy To Make The Most Of Your Money

It’s that time of the year again! Artbox Singapore is back for its second run, and promises to be bigger and better than before.

If you’ve been to Artbox last year, you may have left severely disappointed as the event faced an overwhelming turnout. If you’re unfamiliar with the event, it is a wildly popular market that supports local creators retailing everything from beauty, fashion, food and art.

Originating from Bangkok, Artbox Singapore recreates the vibrancy of Thai night markets, but you wouldn’t need a flight ticket this time.

So if you’ve got a bae and some friends, head down to Artbox Singapore which spans over two weekends from 25-27 May 2018 as well as 1-3 June 2018 from 3-11 pm at the Bayfront Event Space near The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

Food At Artbox Singapore 2018

If you saw the insta-worthy food pics from last year, you’ll know that food is the main highlight of the event. Dive into over 160 bustling F&B stalls each weekend for a wide variety of food to choose from.

Here’s what we got that definitely got DiscoverSG’s stamp of approval. Now, the food at Artbox is not Thai-Night-Market-Cheap but we tried out food that’s worth your money and not overly pretentious.

1. Golden Moments

I’m a huge fan of durian. I’m not being biased but this is definitely one of THE best Mao Shan Wang Ice Cream ($9.90) I’ve tried in Singapore.

Just look at it!

[caption id="attachment_34752" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

The bamboo charcoal infused ice cream has a subtle hint of MSW flavour. It is bittersweet and creamy and topped with 24K gold leaves.

I expected it to be jelak after a few bites but I surprisingly managed to devour the entire durian ice cream without feeling sick or heaty. If you’re not a huge durian lover, this ice cream might just change your mind.

It was slightly pricey for what is essentially durian ice cream, but it is definitely worth trying.

This limited edition ice cream is making its first appearance at this year’s Artbox, so if you know anyone who loves durian, you HAVE to bring them here.

If the ice cream is not enough, you can also try their Durian Platter ($18.80) which consists of durian mochi, durian puffs and the ice cream.

[caption id="attachment_34753" align="aligncenter" width="2560"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

If you’re in need of a good dessert, then Golden Moments is a must visit at this year’s Artbox.

2. Saiko

Don’t you just hate it when you buy takoyaki at a pasar malam and you can barely taste the octopus in it?

Serving up Japanese street food realness, Saiko serves takoyaki in sizeable portions with full bite-sized octopus. You can choose from 3 different fillings – octopus, chicken and braised mushrooms. You also have the option of mixing 2 different fillings in one serving.

[caption id="attachment_34760" align="aligncenter" width="4029"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

We got their Classic ($8) which comes with 6 takoyaki topped with bonito flakes, seaweed and torched Japanese mayo.

[caption id="attachment_34759" align="aligncenter" width="3807"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

This was hands down one of the best Takoyaki I’ve had in a very long time. It’s also the perfect bite-sized snack as you walk around Artbox.

3. Cha Tra Mue

When in Thailand, always get their Thai Milk Tea!

The weather was scorching hot and we were in desperate need of a good drink. We walked around and came across a stall selling the famous Cha Tra Mue brand teas.

[caption id="attachment_34761" align="aligncenter" width="4032"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

You no longer have to ask your friends to buy you a packet of instant Cha Tra Mue from Thailand because its readily available at most bazaars and festivals in Singapore.

We recommend getting the 1-litre Thai Milk Tea ($4) because it is an absolute life saver in Singapore’s crazy weather. 10/10 would buy again!

4. The6ixsRosti

I was surprised to find a stall specialising in rosti at Artbox. I had high hopes for this one as I saw a queue forming at The6ixsRosti.

Being the typical kiasu Singaporean that I am, I knew I had to try this rosti.

[caption id="attachment_34763" align="aligncenter" width="3589"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

We opted for the Spicy Rosti with Mozarella Cheese ($7) – perhaps one of my favourite purchases of the day.

[caption id="attachment_34762" align="aligncenter" width="3845"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

The rosti is pan fried to perfection. It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spicy rosti actually had quite a kick to it, so if you can handle your spice, opt for the spicy rosti.

5. Thai Foodie Palace SG

I knew I couldn’t leave Artbox without getting any Thai Desserts. Just like any other basic Singaporean, I knew I couldn’t leave without trying the Mango Sticky Rice.

The cheapest Mango Sticky Rice I could find at Artbox was from Foodie Palace SG which sold a box for $6.

[caption id="attachment_34758" align="aligncenter" width="4032"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

I never thought I would ever have to pay $6 for mango sticky rice, but I can’t complain. Their mango sticky rice turned out to be pretty good. The mango was sweet and they gave us a generous portion of sticky rice as well.

[caption id="attachment_34757" align="aligncenter" width="4032"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

Safe to say, we wiped the entire box clean. It was the perfect ending to my food hunt at Artbox.

Cheap Cheap, Good Good

Besides the food, you can also explore more than 200 retail booths! Each weekend brings forth a different set of unique and creative lifestyle and fashion vendors from Thailand and Singapore.

6. Oasis:Skin

If you’re in need of a good skincare routine, Oasis:Skin is an all-natural skincare company that believes in delivering high quality plant-based products that can help people rebuild their skin barrier in a natural way.

[caption id="attachment_34768" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

They use 100% natural and high-quality ingredients that are carefully sourced from artisanal producers and botanical experts from all over the world.

If your skin is in need of some desperate TLC, then you should try out their face mists. They have several face mists that targets dry skin, oily skin and even sensitive skin!

[caption id="attachment_34770" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

They also sell clay masks for those “treat yo’self” kind of days. The masks are packaged in its pure clay form as it has a longer shelf life, and there is no need for any harmful chemicals to preserve it.

[caption id="attachment_34769" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

7. Common Touch

If you’re looking for unique and quirky pieces to place around the house, then you’ll love the ceramics by Common Touch.

[caption id="attachment_34767" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

Common Touch is a Singapore-based craft unit working together to create distinctive and purely handcrafted ceramic homeware. From different types of clay and combination of stains and glazes, each piece is hand-thrown and individually crafted.

[caption id="attachment_34764" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

You can also get hand-made jewellery at this store. If you know anyone who is a fan of minimal jewellery, then you should definitely check out Common Touch at Artbox!

[caption id="attachment_34766" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] Image Credit: Discover SG[/caption]

You can also find plenty of stalls around Artbox selling everything from tops and pants to tote bags and leather wallets. What’s more, you can pay by DBS PayLah! at most stalls so you don’t have to worry about running out of cash after all that shopping!

This year’s Artbox definitely did not disappoint. With a variety of retail booths and F&B stalls to choose from, there’s definitely something for everyone here.

Pro-tip: Carry and umbrella and wear comfortable clothes because our weather is extremely unpredictable!

Krispy Kreme’s Nutella Donuts Are Back – But For A Limited Time Only

Remember when Krispy Kreme released their Hazelnut OG donuts and then took it away from us. Remember all the sadness and pain we felt when they took it away from us on April 1st and we all thought it was some sick April Fools Joke.

Since then, I’ve been refreshing Krispy Kreme’s Facebook page every day in hopes of a notification telling me that their donuts are finally back.

Then this happened today,

https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeKrispyKreme/photos/a.1652839674937017.1073741847.1387206084833712/2212531335634512/?type=3&theater

She’s Finally Back

I rarely get upset over food trends dying but oh wow, I never knew I could miss a particular donut this much.

Krispy Kreme just announced on their Facebook page today that the Hazelnut OG donut will be available at all outlets islandwide, whilst stocks last of course.

[caption id="attachment_34619" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Singapore Krispy Kreme Facebook[/caption]

As usual, these donuts won’t be on the shelves forever. Back by popular demand, the Hazelnut OG donut will only be available starting from tomorrow, 19th May to 31st May.

[caption id="attachment_34620" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Image Credit: @jazpster[/caption]

Expect long queues at all Krispy Kreme outlets because I’m pretty sure everyone WILL be queueing for these donuts.

These limited edition donuts are $3.30 per piece and sold on a first come, first serve basis. So if you want it, you have to head down early!

Krispy Kreme, if you’re reading this, we love you and we support you. But please, can we make the Hazelnut OG donuts permanent already?

Office Workers Can Eat ‘Atas’ For Cheaper With This New Delivery App

Lunch breaks can feel like a chore especially if there is not a variety of food options around your office area. Trust us, we’re damn sian of the food in our office area already.

If you feel the same way as us, then fret not. There’s a brand new app in town that will make you look forward to having lunch everyday.

Best part, there’s no delivery charges and no minimum orders!

The Modern Tingkat

Plum is a food curation company that is about to revolutionise the way we think of lunch.

Instead of the traditional food delivery apps that we are used to, Plum curates an entire menu every day so you no longer have to spend time looking, buying and waiting for your next lunch.

Plum’s restaurant curation team managed to scour over 6,000 restaurants in Singapore so you have the option of gourmet meals at insider prices.

[caption id="attachment_34116" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Leon Kee’s Bak Kut Teh ($5.90)[/caption]

There’s even halal and vegetarian meals available everyday so everyone has an option on the Plum app.

[caption id="attachment_34117" align="aligncenter" width="768"] Image Credit: Plum Food SG Facebook[/caption]

Their menu changes daily so be sure to check out the Plum app every day!

But there’s a catch, Plum currently only delivers to certain pick-up points and is not available island wide yet.

Current pick-up locations include Fusionopolis, Metropolis, Biopolis, Mediapolis, Raffles Place, One George Street, Ocean Financial Centre, Marina Bay Financial Centre, and soon, Tanjong Pagar.

[caption id="attachment_34118" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Image Credit: Plum Food SG Facebook[/caption]

So not all of us are able to enjoy this amazing service yet. For those that are working near these pick-up points, hop on over to the app and check out their menu.

All you have to do is sign up for an account,

choose from the daily curated menu,

and proceed to pay!

Do note that there is a cut off time for orders so you might want to pre-order your lunch by 10.30am to secure your first choice.

First time users can use their promo code “WOWPLUM” and get 50% off their first meal purchase.

[caption id="attachment_34119" align="aligncenter" width="1772"] Image Credit: Plum Food SG Facebook[/caption]

In 9-to-5 environments, lunch breaks isn’t always such a big deal, but making time for a healthy lunch can pay off both mentally and physically.

Here’s to hoping that Plum expands and offers more pick up points islandwide!

Picnic In The Park? Too #basic. How About Concert In The Park This March?

The image of a family having a picnic in the park on a sunny weekend is always pleasant and wholesome.

Good food, great company, lively environment, surrounded by nature and all its wonders – it’s almost perfect. Almost.

What if we took picnics to another level by throwing in a concert for as well?

[caption id="attachment_33340" align="aligncenter" width="2200"] Image Credit: National Arts Council Singapore[/caption]

Now how’s that for a picnic?

That’s right, the NAC-ExxonMobil Concert In The Park is back again on 11th March 2018 at the Singapore Botanic Gardens!

Entertainment For The Whole Family

This year’s concert will see local musicians Charlie Lim and M1LDL1FE take the stage.

You might have seen them perform on The Great Singapore Replay, which featured 10 emerging artists and 10 established artists working together to reimagine Singapore’s greatest hits of the yesteryears.

While Charlie Lim’s music is a little more acoustic and mellow, it’s heartfelt and emotional and it’s perfect for setting the picnic mood.

[caption id="attachment_33337" align="aligncenter" width="960"] Image Credit: Charlie Lim Facebook[/caption]

If you prefer more upbeat music, get up and groove to the indie pop tunes of M1LDL1FE.

One last thing, there will be fans (limited to 250 pieces) and picnic mats (limited to 50 pieces) up for grabs, so get your friends and family and come early and pick a good spot!
