This Local Popcorn Brand Offers Un-cornventional Flavours Like Chicken Rice And Bak Kwa

Are you a sucker for popcorn?

Do you buy a large bag of popcorn before a movie, yet go through half of it by the end of the commercials?

Do you have stashes of Garrett’s popcorn sitting at home in your kitchen cabinets?

If you answered yes to any 2 of the 3 questions above, then we have good news for you.

There’s a local brand of popcorn that’s been making waves for their uniquely local flavours.

Enter The Kettle Gourmet.

Local Flavours In Popcorn

While they initially started off with Salted Caramel popcorn, eventually they started experimenting with local flavours.

Some of their best-selling flavours include Salted Caramel and Bak Kwa. The Bak Kwa-flavoured popcorn was sold out within days of release.

Now they’re launching a new Chicken Rice-flavoured popcorn, adding to the list of locally-inspired flavours.

The full list of flavours can be seen below.

They even have a seasonal flavour – Bailey’s. Mmmm…

While the flavours have continued to impress, our biggest gripe is that the bags are too small. We need bigger bags for more popcorn.

Unfortunately, to get your hands on this a-maize-ing popcorn snack, you’ll have to order it online because they don’t have a physical store yet.

You might be able to catch them at local events like ArtBox, where they usually have a booth selling their popcorn.

In the meantime, you can buy the popcorn from their online store here.

So…popcorn anyone?

Because Teh Is Better Than Kopi, Here Are All The Ways To Show Your Loyal-teh

You don’t have to be a connoisseur to appreciate the wonder that is Teh. Or tea, as regular (read: non-Singaporean) people call it.

Teh is a lifeblood of Singapore, alongside it’s more caffeinated counterpart, Kopi (Coffee).

A local classic, Teh has many variations. Teh Tarik, Teh Halia, Teh Ais, Teh C, Teh O, the list goes on. But the frothy goodness of Teh Tarik trumps all. This “pulled” concoction of milk and tea is always a welcome beverage in every Singaporean meal.

Since Kopi already has its own life-sized bag, we refuse to let Teh lose out to this hype.

So, to demonstrate our love for this magical drink, we have compiled a list of Teh-related thingamabobs so you too can show your love for Teh!

Teh Cream Of Teh Crop

1. This Teh Tarik Graphic T-Shirt

Words cannot describe how badly I want this shirt. I am torn between framing this shirt up and wearing it 24/7. A genuine Teh Tarik-themed shirt is everything I never knew I needed.

2. Teh Best Postcard and Greeting Card

These are the only acceptable greeting cards/postcards to send to anyone. Hallmark, stand aside. Teh is the way to go.

3. Teh Tarik Iron On Patch and Sticker Patch

I am probably going to iron this on every shirt, shorts, pants, bag, fabric, curtain, towel and tablecloth that I own. I will build this Teh shrine. Watch me (Don’t quote me on that).

4. The Teh Peng Pin

I am crying tears of joy. This pin is beautiful. A Teh Peng pin? It’ll sit perfectly on my backpack. Or any tote, case, or makeup pouch. Check out the detail on the ice cubes.

5. Kopitiam Brooch (Teh and Teh Bao)

If you think that this brooch does not go with any formal attire, you are entitled to your wrong opinion. Because Kopitiam culture is the best culture.

6. Kopitiam Keychain (Teh Peng)

These quirky little trinkets come in the form of various food options from Teh, Kopi, Bandung, Milkmaid condensed milk to Laksa, Mee Pok Dry and Chicken Rice. Do you know which one I want? Guess.

7. Kopitiam Magnet (Teh Bao)
