Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake is a classic Japanese bakery located within Alexandra Village which specialises in baking fluffy and creamy Japanese cheesecakes. Helmed by Donald and Joanne, a couple who left their full-time jobs in search of a livelihood that would better support their passion for volunteer work, Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake’s cheesecakes are free of additives and preservatives.

If you’re considering dropping by to purchase their cheesecakes, you are encouraged to place a pre-order with this bakery as Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake operates on a bake-to-order system. With this, you know that you’re only going to get the freshest and fluffiest cheesecake.

As Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake is situated within the enclave of eateries at Alexandra Village, we would advise you to avoid the lunch hour if you intend to drive down to the bakery. Parking is extremely limited during the lunch hour, so you’d be better off making arrangements to collect your order outside the lunch hour.

Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake bakes their cheesecakes with the “water bath” method. Donald and Joanne steam the cheesecakes for about an hour, which allows the cheesecakes to rise and develop that perfect fluffy texture we all love Japanese cheesecakes for.

Whilst Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake has a decent selection of cheesecake flavours, customers should note that not all flavours are available every day. We decided to order the Original Cheesecake (S$10) and the Cranberry Cheesecake (S$12). Considering their price tags, the cheesecakes did not disappoint.

Although the cheesecakes are made with less sugar and cream, this didn’t have any implications on its texture. The cheesecakes were creamy and adequately sweet. We also liked the idea of being able to indulge in more slices without worrying about the calories.

Other flavours you can look forward to at Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake include the Raisin Cheesecake (S$11), Rainbow Cheesecake (S$14) and Black Cookie Cheesecake (S$11). 

Apart from their selection of baked cheesecakes, you can also pick up some Butter Cookies (Less Sweet) (S$12 per bottle) from Kiroi Freshly Baked Cheese Cake. We are pleased to report that these cookies are so addictive. On top of tasting like homemade cookies, the cookies are not overly buttery and has just the right amount of sugar.

Established in 1965, Kelim Dakdoritang is a famous Korean spicy chicken hotpot chain with more than 50 outlets in South Korea and it has opened its first outlet in Singapore at Serangoon Gardens.

The speciality spicy chicken stew restaurant is brought in to Singapore by Lee Seongmin is the son of Kelim Dakdoritang’s founder.

Dakdoritang, or Korean spicy chicken stew, is a traditional Korean dish made by boiling chunks of chicken with potatoes, rice cakes vegetables, spices and gochujang. What makes Kelim Dakdoritang’s rendition different is the additional of a copious amount of chopped garlic and leek.

Kelim Dakdoritang serves their Korean spicy chicken stew in the form of a hotpot and you can choose to add on more toppings including rice cake, sausage, mushrooms, and quail eggs.

The Korean spicy chicken stew was actually not as spicy as it looked; it had the right amount of spice with a strong garlicky taste.

For carbs, you can choose from Kalguksu (Korean knife cut noodles), Udon, or Ramyeon.

End your meal with their Fried Rice (S$8), a typical Korean ‘dessert’. The staff will fry rice, seaweed, sesame oil, and kimchi with the remaining stew in the hotpot at your table.

This is definitely not the place to go on a first date. But if you love spicy Korean stews, check out Kelim Dakdoritang the next time you are in Serangoon Gardens.

We know that many Singaporeans were absolutely crushed when they found out that bubble tea shops were one of the affected F&B services during the extended Circuit Breaker. The desperation for that one last glorious cup of bubble tea was so strong that it led to an insane last-minute demand for it, leaving bubble tea shops and delivery riders swamped.

However, we have some good news for you, especially if you’re a fan of KOI: they may be providing bubble tea delivery soon!

The popular bubble tea brand hinted on Facebook that they will be partnering with Grain, for its bubble tea delivery. Grain is a food experience company that provides creative and wholesome on-demand meals and meal plans to consumers.

Staying home isn’t that bad when we can still order KFC delivery, especially with KFC Meltz available again. If you’ve tried KFC’s Meltz before, you can savour it again now that it’s back and better with a new smoky chipotle mayonnaise. For those who haven’t, you wouldn’t want to miss out! KFC Chipotle Meltz is now available via takeaways and KFC Delivery.

Delivery options are aplenty but KFC will never fail us. It is one of those comfort food options that we can never get sick of. KFC Chipotle Meltz is a MUST HAVE when you enjoy your Netflix shows.

The popular favourite was first introduced years ago and there have been countless requests over the years for KFC to bring it back. Two weeks back, KFC uploaded a photo of it on their social media pages on  April Fool’s Day, and while it got people excited, many thought it was a joke.

But it is not. Chipotle Meltz is real!

If you are going to dismiss it as just another wrap, hang on there. It is more than it looks! The Chipotle Meltz is made up of a lightly toasted tortilla that may look unassuming, but what it packs on the inside will surprise you.

Filled with Original Recipe fillet chunks, crunchy BBQ nachos, freshly sliced tomatoes, a mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and featuring a smoky Chipotle Mayo, the Chipotle Meltz is a delight to savour, and one that bursts with flavours.

The new spicy Chipotle Mayonnaise pairs well with the crunchy BBQ Nachos and it has a nice smoky taste; it is so addictive! We were also sold by a subtly sweet and tangy aftertaste that had us hankering for more.

Circuit Breaker is definitely better now with Chipotle Meltz available for takeaways and on KFC delivery.

Do note that Chipotle Meltz is not available at Cathay Orchard Cineleisure, Jewel Changi Airport, KidZania, Singapore Polytechnic, Nanyang Technology University, Takashimaya and Singapore Zoo.

That’s it. We’re calling off our diet. How does one eat clean when KFC exists? This year, they’ve been spoiling us silly with the most sinful, delicious treats. We don’t know how they’re coming up with all these amazing creations but we’re certainly not complaining.

First, it was the Spicy Nyonya Chicken. Then, it was the shell-less Kentaco. And if those weren’t guilt-inducing enough, they brought back their crispy chicken skin.

And now, they’re incorporating culinary flavours from the land of smiles into their signature fried chicken. Not travelling to Thailand any time soon? The newest KFC Spicy Thai Crunch will surely satisfy your cravings.

KFC is bringing the taste of Thailand to our very doorstep.

Feast your eyes on KFC’s Spicy Thai Crunch.

You don’t need to be a gourmand to know that Thai flavours are all about the spices and heat. If you’re an absolute slave for Thai food, you’re in for a treat. Set your lips on fire with KFC’s Spicy Thai Crunch, a Thai-inspired spicy fried chicken creation.

This feisty dish features KFC’s Signature Hot & Crispy Chicken glazed with a mouthwatering spicy Thai sauce and sprinkled generously with citrusy, rice crisps.

The secret to this fantastic dish is really, the rice crisps. Spiked with a tastefully sour spice combo of galangal, lemongrass, garlic and onion, these bits of goodness completely elevate the dish.

Now, comes the billion-dollar question — how does it taste?

Just like the rest of KFC’s fried chicken, its batter was shatteringly crispy. The crunch was elevated by the addition of the zesty crisps, which had a strong lemongrass-galangal profile. The chicken itself was juicy and tender, from the drumstick down to the breast meat.

As for the spiciness level, the heat doesn’t hit you right away, and rises steadily like a coastal wave. The climax of its spicy kick isn’t unbearable, though. The heat is also balanced out by the aromatic seasoning, which is truly aroy mak mak.

The KFC Spicy Thai Crunch is available in stores now! They come in various meal bundles such as the Spicy Thai Crunch 2pc Meal (S$8.95).

American and Korean fried chickens get a lot of attention, and not so much their Thai counterpart. But, with this new creation, we can see the tables turning very soon.

KFC Spicy Thai Crunch will available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Kidzania and Singapore Zoo.

KFC Singapore is known for its wild imagination and innovative creations. Besides serving Finger Lickin’ Good chicken, it has dedicated itself time and again to conjure up groundbreaking dishes that are downright delicious.

You’ve seen the Chizza and the Zinger Double Down. This time, KFC Singapore is back with yet another crazy culinary hybrid. Sick and tired of shattering messy tacos, they’ve embarked on a quest to bring to you a — wait for it — shell-less rendition of the Mexican dish.

Meet the Kentaco. KFC’s latest creation featuring a fried chicken taco shell that does not disappoint.

A cross between a taco and fried chicken, the Kentaco has swapped out the classic outer layer of corn tortilla for — you guessed it — fried chicken. We know, this could either be the worst mistake in the history of fried chicken experiments,  or a sheer culinary breakthrough.

The Kentaco (S$5.90) features a crispy chicken fillet that’s hand-breaded and fried to form a classic taco ‘U’ shape. Stuffed with fresh iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, decadent cheese sauce and shredded cheese, it’s the ultimate combo for cheese junkies.

Now, before the taco purists can scream “abomination”, how about a little taste test?

The breaded chicken was crispy on the outside and really tender on the inside, with the cheese serving as the perfect flavour booster. The lettuce and tomatoes added a refreshing crunch to the fried indulgence.

The best way to devour this is to just take one large bite of the whole monstrosity, getting an explosion of flavours from the chicken, cheese and veggies all at once.

Salivating already? Fret not, the Kentaco is available in-stores now!

For hungrier customers, the Kentaco Meal (S$7.95) is available, which comes with an addition of Medium Fries and 1 Regular Pepsi Black. Or, you can up the stakes with their Kentaco Box (S$9.95), served with 1 Piece Chicken, 1 Regular Whipped Potato, 1 Regular Fries and 1 Regular Pepsi Black.

KFC Kentaco will available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Kidzania and Singapore Zoo.

Never one to rest on their laurels, KFC Singapore is back with yet another new, inventive dish to usher in the festivities this Lunar New Year! Let this year of the rat help you sniff out even more delectable delights by spicing things up (literally) with KFC’s latest Lunar New Year creation, Nyonya Fried Chicken.

If there’s one thing any self-respecting F&B establishment in Singapore knows, is that Singaporeans love their spices. KFC surely recognises this, keeping our taste buds yearning after previous seasonal favourites such as the Red Hot Szechuan Chicken and Curry Crunch Chicken.

The common ingredient in these best-sellers? They all provide an addictive and irresistible spice infusion that renders their already finger lickin’ chicken even more finger lickin’ good. With KFC’s track record, this new addition is sure to give your tongues a hot, new thing to salivate over!

KFC’s latest release this season continues along the tangent of being a high-quality and attention-grabbing number. Burnished in a lively auburn shade, it cuts a striking profile against the golden hues of its usual menu counterparts. Accompanying the vibrant sight is a familiar whiff of fried chicken, but with a feisty peppery undertone that really gets your mouth watering.

Taking a bite out of the chicken unveils a piquant medley of spices – a curated blend of chillies, dried shrimps, curry spices and laksa leaves with a dash of coconut to introduce a sweet, smooth flourish – that persists after your initial tasting. Even past the chicken’s craggy crust, the flavours endure in the juicy centre, thus allowing the fragrance from the spices and herbs to fully permeate each mouthful.

The secret to the Nyonya Chicken’s intense flavour is courtesy of its preperation technique. The chicken chunks are first marinated before being fried; therefore, even after crunching past the crisp layer, you are still met with a potpurri of flavours courtesy of the marinade’s infusion. It is then coated with the spicy Nyonya sauce to impart each piece with its signature zesty bite for the ultimate satisfying taste affair.

The secret to keeping such an intense and uniform taste is courtesy of the dual infusion of spices. The chicken chunks are first marinated in the aforementioned sauce, allowing the potpourri to infuse the protein until these flavours become innate to the base’s taste profile. The batter is then suffused with the same spicy sauce, imparting it with its signature felicitous colouration and a zesty bite that makes crunching into the skin just as satisfying an affair.

We’ve enjoyed multiple spicy-themed specials before. What then makes the Nyonya Chicken different? With the Nyonya Chicken, we are served a confluence of local flavours tied together with a tinge of spice. More than just another tasty menu addition, the kernel of the dish is no longer the spiciness; while a (very nice) bonus, the essence of the dish resides in the celebration of local Peranakan flavours.

Interested in getting your hands on KFC’s Nyonya Chicken? It is available in-house and via takeaway at S$3.60 for a piece, and S$8.95 and up for meal options.

Need something to alleviate the spice and heartiness of your Nyonya Chicken meal? Refresh your taste buds with SJORA®’s latest flavour, Strawberry Kiwi!

While the chicken is a rich collective of spicy flavours, this drink quenches with its refreshing sweetness. Alluring in pink, the Strawberry Kiwi washes away the chicken’s heavy spices, leaving behind a nectarous lingering aftertaste that tastes like a breath of spring.

To make this Lunar New Year season even more auspicious, treating yourself to any Nyonya Chicken Meal can also reward you with a chance to grab a gift from KFC’s enormous S$388,000 prize pool!

From 2 January to 2 February 2020, a winner will get to take home S$3,888 every week, while three very lucky diners will walk away with the grand prize of S$8,888 from the Grand Lucky Draw. On top of that, you can participate in KFC’s sure-win Ang Bao Rush game for additional chances to nab instant rewards or even the weekly S$388 cash prize.

For a chance at getting your hands on the prizes, simply order any Nyonya Chicken Meal at participating outlets or via delivery. Eligible offers will receive unique code(s) – each code entails one Grand Lucky Draw chance and one try at the Ang Bao Rush Game. Remember to hold on to your original scratch cards and emails even after playing for verification purposes! Don’t want to miss out on your good fortune now, do you?

This Lunar New Year, if you find yourself craving some deep-fried deliciousness, why not pop by KFC for a scrumptious, fuss-free meal? Grab this limited run special while you still can; with flavours as potent, spice as gratifying, and crunch as compelling as the Nyonya Fried Chicken’s, we wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity either!

KFC Nyonya Chicken is available at all KFC restaurants except KFC KidZania and Singapore Zoo.

Catching our attention is the newly-opened kómma Social Café, which recently opened its doors just last year in December at Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ). Boasting an open-concept interior, the minimalistic space is adorned with plush cushions, seats, and shelves of artisanal crafted goods, making it a casual hangout spot for one to chill and sip on a cuppa with their pals.

They also host monthly workshops and activities, aiming to start conversations amongst the creative community.

kómma serves up a selection of pastries and coffee, offering only small bites for the casual diner.

We tried the Chocolate Banana Waffle (S$10); you can choose between a half and full waffle and complement them with either sweet or savoury toppings.

The Chocolate Banana waffle is first toasted, laden with chopped roasted banana slices, butter and then sprinkled with cocoa nibs and sugar. The thick waffle also came with a Nutella spread. But to be honest, we thought that the waffle was very underwhelming; they were soggy and undercooked.

Just stick to drinks and forget about the waffle.

Get your caffeine fix with their Iced Latte (S$5.50)! For coffee enthusiasts, kómma has collaborated with Huggs Coffee, offering coffees made from speciality coffee blends.

The beverage was smooth and creamy, leaning towards the lighter, milkier side. If you are a mild coffee lover and prefer something less strong and bitter, then you will definitely like this drink.

With the festive season around the corner, the poultry of choice in the seasonal spotlight tends to be turkey. For those who are looking for something a little different this year, why not switch things up by trying KFC’s newest creation: Sour Cream & Onion Chicken?

Hot on the trails of multiple unique food inventions from the delightful Boba Tea Tarts to the sinfully tasty KFC Chicken Skin, KFC has been tapping into well-loved flavours of our local palate and integrating them into their menu items.

To celebrate 2019 drawing to a close, the chain draws its latest inspiration from the communal energy of sharing party snacks amidst the holiday cheer. By basing their latest release on a much-loved combination of flavours, this juicy new chicken main is sure to captivate all merrymakers as their newest go-to party snack.

Curious to know how this dish tastes? Read on to find out what we thought about KFC’s fresh new menu items of Sour Cream & Onion Chicken and Bolognese Cheese Fries, as well as the return of the popular Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart!

KFC SOUR CREAM & ONION CHICKEN

For fans of KFC’s signature finger-lickin’ good fried chicken, you will love this new multi-layered and flavour-dense variant. Available at S$3.60 each or S$8.95 for a two-piece meal, what makes the Sour Cream & Onion Chicken so enticing isn’t just the winning combination of flavours involved, but the intricate sensory experience from the textural variance present.

For the usual fried chicken options, we expect the contrast between the signature crunch of the chicken skin against the moist tenderness of the flesh beneath. However, by covering the chain’s Hot & Spicy Chicken in a generous layer of crushed nacho chips before frying, the irregular coat of chips enhances the texture of the dish by breaking the surface consistency. The resultant eating experience is not just more thrilling, but more playful and fun as well.

The flavours involved work off a similar principle of careful layering. The original 11 herbs and spices blend may already be fragrant enough, but with the preference for heavier flavours courtesy of our local food culture, that alone may be insufficient to produce that desired wow factor. Instead of just using the spicy version, by applying a generous dusting of sour cream and onion sprinkle all over the chicken crust, the end product induces an explosion of flavours unlike any of KFC’s creations thus far.

The resultant eating experience is indeed akin to biting into a pack sour cream and onion chips, but with the added gratification of having a more substantial and flavourful protein base to savour the tangy sour cream off of. Unlike with chips, the presence of the chicken staved off what would have otherwise been an overwhelming infusion of sour cream and onion, thus prolonging the enjoyment of the eating process.

Move aside sour cream and onion chips; between the addictive crunch and the intricate flavours, the KFC Sour Cream & Onion Chicken is fast becoming our go-to party treat as well!

To refresh your throats after the piquant richness of the chicken, thankfully, the Sour Cream & Onion meals come with the perfect palate cleanser, SJORA® Mango Peach. It is the perfect accompaniment to your KFC festive meals, and deftly reinvigorates your appetite by cutting through the heartiness of the chicken and cheese fries.

KFC Sour Cream & Onion Chicken is available at all KFC restaurants except KFC KidZania, NTU Singapore, and Singapore Zoo.

KFC BOLOGNESE CHEESE FRIES

Looking for a little something else to pair with the Sour Cream & Onion Chicken? KFC has you covered with their next creation, Bolognese Cheese Fries (S$4.95)! If the chicken main is all about the acute individual spikes of intensity, then this side complements the former by excelling in the inverse: a slow even build-up of the dish’s medley of flavours.

Cheese and Bolognese – a classic taste pairing in Italian cuisine that has endeared many of us to the familiarity of the flavours involved. Layering their signature creamy cheese topping on a bed of savoury and tangy chicken Bolognese sauce makes this already delectable side dish even more indulgent.

What we really appreciate is the generous helping of minced chicken as an accompaniment; it turns what tends to be a carb-based afterthought into a complex treat worthy of its own limelight.

KFC Bolognese Cheese Fries is available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Singapore Zoo.

KFC CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT EGG TART

The festive season will not be complete without a dessert of some sort. Back by hugely popular demand, the chain’s incredibly well-received KFC Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart is making a return (S$1.50/piece or S$7.50/5 with 1 free)!

A favourite of many, KFC’s Portuguese egg tarts are a delight to behold: the golden sheen of the thin flaky crust holds within it a smooth creamy centre of delicious custard goodness. As appealing as the original tarts are, the addition of the chocolate hazelnut spread elevates it to an almost heavenly status. Because of how the tart isn’t overly saccharine, the sweet nutty aftertaste of the chocolate hazelnut pairs wonderfully with the mild sweetness of the base treat.

Following the predominant concept of flavour and texture layering this season, the thicker consistency of the chocolate acts as a binding element between the silken custard core and the crisp exterior, giving a pleasant chewiness to the overall mouthfeel that has so many of us craving for more.

KFC Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart is available at all KFC restaurants except Blk 501 Jurong West Street 51, Changi Jewel, KidZania, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Punggol Oasis Terraces, and Singapore Zoo.

CELEBRATE 2020 WITH KFC

If you thought that was all, KFC is adding even more joy to this season of giving with a huge contest running from 20 November to 30 December 2019. In conjunction with Mediacorp, KFC will be hosting Celebrate 2020 with KFC with a whopping total of S$228,000 worth of prizes to be won!

Every week, a lucky diner will win a pair of tickets to one of the following famous tourist destinations via lucky draw: Paris, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Seoul, London, New York, or the grand prize destinations of Finland or Iceland. Other prizes include discounts for your favourite KFC menu items; this season of giving, everyone is on the Colonel’s nice list!

To enter the draw, simply purchase KFC’s new Sour Cream & Onion Chicken meals at any KFC restaurant or via KFC online delivery. Contest cards will be given in line with the size of meal ordered – individual meals will get you 1 contest card, and group meals will give you either 2 or 4 cards depending on the size of said meals. The same applies for delivery orders, where unique codes for contest participation will be given in lieu of the contest cards via email

With so many festivities happening at KFC Singapore, this is the perfect season to indulge in all these delicious new menu items. Take it from us; the Sour Cream & Onion Chicken is a taste experience unlike any other, so give it a try before it disappears for good! What are you waiting for? Besides, you could be one of the 8 lucky winners to start your 2020 with a holiday to your dream destination!

Are you on the hunt for aesthetic cafes with picturesque spots to spice up your boring Instagram feed? Or are you simply a hungry boyfriend looking to fill your growling tummy while your girlfriend badgers you for “IG-worthy date spots”?

Fret not, as you get the best of both worlds at Knots Café and Living —  a gorgeous garden café located in Tai Seng!

This unassuming café is located amidst the bustling area of Tai Seng. Boasting floral décor, plushies and wooden furniture, Knots is a multi-concept store selling both furniture and a menu of typical café fare.

If you forgot to buy bae a present, this place will be your saving grace. Home to cute trinkets, there are lots of perfect last-minute gifts you can surprise your partner with. From their various blooms and interesting knick-knacks to the table you will be dining at, everything is for sale!

We decided to try their iconic savoury waffle platter: Knots Waffle Brekkie (S$18.90). This is the perfect dish to share with your partner. It was served in a hulking mountain of ingredients sitting atop a giant bed of fluffy buttermilk waffle.

The waffle was soft with an airy middle, and the strong buttermilk flavour was evident. Having been drizzled with syrup, it also had a sweet aftertaste.

The scrambled eggs were our favourite — the eggs were runny with an ultra-creamy texture that melted in our mouths. It complemented the pillowy waffle well, elevating its savouriness. The sautéed mushrooms also had a strong charred flavour, tantalising our tastebuds, while still allowing its natural sweetness to come through. 

Though crisp on the outside, the bacon was surprisingly soft and tender, tearing apart easily. It also had a distinct cinnamon-like taste that kept us hankering for more.

//

We also opted for their Fish and Chips (S$13.90). Served with a generous portion of french fries, the deep-fried breaded dory fillet was incredibly crunchy. Paired together with the piquant, salty tartar sauce, the dressing added to the fish’s savouriness.

It wasn’t overwhelming greasy either and we liked how it had a thick meat to skin ratio. The meat was tender as well; add a pinch of lemon to add zesty flavour to the fish!

Albeit on the pricier side, Knots Café and Living is a great date spot for those looking to dine at an idyllic café. Step in and be enthralled by its garden wonderland! If you happen to be in the area, do pop by and give them a try.

If you are a soba fanatic, or simply just in love with anything Japanese, you will definitely be familiar with mazesoba: a dry noodle dish steeped in flavourful sauce, topped with a myriad of luscious ingredients and completed with a raw egg yolk in the middle.

For the uninitiated, Mazesoba or fondly described by some locals as the Japanese Bak Chor Mee, is literally translated as mixed noodles and is a type of ramen that has no broth – in other words, it’s dry ramen. As there is no hot soup involved, it is no wonder this dish is particularly popular during the hot summer months in Japan and Korea.

With several outlets in South Korea and Japan, Kanda Soba has finally arrived on our local shores, rolling out their famed mazesoba bowls, sushi platters and HULK Power drinks! Ramen lovers be warned: this restaurant will overthrow your love for ramen and turn you into a mazesoba convert.

Kanda Soba is now offering a set lunch promotion at affordable prices! For only S$12, you get to have their Original Mazesoba, two pieces of yummy sushi, and a beef soup. So, make a beeline for their eatery and see what the hype about them back in South Korea and Japan is all about!

The noodle bar has taken residence in Clarke Quay’s Don Don Donki dine-in food court alongside other Japanese eateries, serving a specialised menu of mazesoba dishes, each created with an array of 62 Korean ingredients. Some of their popular hits include the Original Mazesoba and Cream Mazesoba!

ORIGINAL MAZESOBA WITH CHASHU

Though it is said to contain 62 ingredients in one bowl, one of the key ingredients in the Original Maze Soba (S$12) is its noodles. Kanda Soba focuses on the chewiness and firm texture of the noodle that they use.

To ensure each bowl comes out perfectly, the noodles are boiled for exactly 8 to 9 minutes before it is mixed around in a strainer to enhance the springiness of each noodle.

A good tip to have when enjoying the maze soba is to first mix the ingredients (spring onions, chives, seaweed, ground pepper, raw egg and meat sauce) in to taste the original maze soba. After, add a little bit of the pickled chili vinegar and mix it again. In this way, you’ll get to not only enjoy one but two different types of flavours in one dish!

We love how Kanda Soba’s mazesoba bowls are customisable, ranging from the meat sauce to toppings and sides. You can be your own chef and opt for the ingredients you prefer! We will recommend going for the Original Beef Sauce, which is a unique combination of both beef and pork. We also added the Chashu, which came in two chunky slices.

CREAM MAZESOBA

When we heard that this dish had won over the hearts of many Korean girls, we knew we had to try their Cream Mazesoba. Made from homemade coconut and potato cream, this is one unique mazesoba creation we had never seen before.

To our surprise, the noodles tasted just like carbonara — except much lighter and airier. It wasn’t heavy on our palates either. The generous topping of cream coated every strand of the noodles, giving it a very fluffy texture. It also had a tangy and slightly peppery aftertaste from the sprinkled spices.

The chashu was fork tender and tore apart easily. It was well-torched, and we could taste the hints of char on it, adding on to its savoury flavour. We also appreciated how the chashu had more meat to fat ratio, as compared to the other overly fatty ones in our local Japanese cuisine-inspired restaurants.

Paired with the noodles, the meat had a solid bite and was a nice contrast to the soft, chewy soba. After all, chashu is a one true pairing with Japanese noodles.

SPICY MAZESOBA

Their Spicy Mazesoba is not for the fainthearted. If you’re craving for something that will tingle your tastebuds, this is the dish to try. Just like the Original Mazesoba, it is garnished with a dollop of mixed meats of beef and pork, seaweed, veggies and a raw egg yolk, except with a subtle, unnoticeable twist: a pinch of special chilli sauce.

On the outside, the chilli sauce does not look like much, but mix it together with the noodles and ingredients and you get an everlasting, fiery kick of spice.

MEAT SUSHI PLATTER

Keeping in line with their Japanese cuisine offerings, Kanda Soba also has six varieties of meat sushi—Basil Pesto, Cream Cheese, Mentaiko, Mushroom, Spicy and Original (Herb Salt)—available for you to order alongside your bowl of noodles. The sushi are freshly made with a choice of beef or pork topping. Each piece of meat is torched until it is perfectly caramelized before it is topped on to the moulded sushi rice with your desired topping.

Diners will need to order a minimum of two sushi pieces, but trust us, you will definitely keep going back for more. If you decide to order a mazesoba together with a minimum of two meat sushis, the beef-based sushi will only cost S$1.70, while the pork-based sushi will be S$1.50.

We recommend the Mentaiko with a pork base! The Mentaiko sushi was bursting with sweet and salty notes, while the savoury meat contrasted with the soft, sweet rice.

ORIGINAL MAZESOBA LUNCH SET

When it comes to lunch time, we are always looking for a meal that is not only tasty, but substantial enough to last us through the day. Introducing the dish that brought Kanda Soba to fame: Original Mazesoba.

We had their set lunch promotion, which runs from 11am to 3pm. It came with two standard pieces of sushi, which was their Cream Cheese Meat Sushi and Mentaiko Sushi. We thought the small side of sushi was a nice touch to a simple meal.

During preparation, the Korea-imported noodles are constantly stirred to ensure its springiness, which results in a soft and Q finish. Though the Original Mazesoba looks unassuming, it is actually chock full of ingredients that are full of piquant flavour. Mix all the ingredients together, and you get a burst of flavours in your mouth.

HULK POWER DRINK

An interesting beverage to try at Kanda Soba is their HULK Power Drink (S$4.50), which is also coincidentally a much-loved drink amongst the chefs who hydrates with this drink whenever they are feeling thirsty in the Korean Summer.

This unique thirst-quencher is concocted with the mix of a blue energy drink and a popular Korean Vitamin C drink to give it a bright green colour that’s reminiscent of the well-known Avengers team member, the Hulk.

There are few things as addictive as boat noodles and we love the satisfying feeling of stacking all those finished bowls up high. The great thing about boat noodles is that because the portions are all so small and cheap, you get to try a variety of different broths and noodles till your heart’s content without feeling a pinch in your wallet.

Bangkok is no short of places that dish out scrumptious bowls of boat noodles and one of our favourite haunts whenever we are there is Kin Tiew Kan Noodle.

Located conveniently at the bustling Union Mall, Kin Tiew Kan Noodle is a great place to check out after a hectic day of shopping and getting your nails done.

The cosy eatery is always packed with people which is a testament to how good their boat noodles are!

Each bowl here costs an affordable 15 baht each which gives you even more reason to build yourselves a tower of boat noodle bowls after you’ve polished everything off.

There are 5 broths available for you to choose from, namely Thicken Soup Noodle With Beef, Dried Noodle with Pork or Beef, Brewed Bean Curd Noodle, Hot and Sour Noodle ‘Tom Yum’ and their signature broth, Thicken Soup Noodle with Pork. 

We can see why the Thicken Soup Noodle with Pork is their bestseller as it was our favourite too. Chock full of umami with a strong, porky flavour, we feel that this full-bodied concoction goes best with rice noodles.

We also really enjoyed the Brewed Bean Curd Noodle which features a tangy and slightly sour fermented tasting soup that comes with some fishcake, crackers and minced meat.

To spice up your boat noodles, you can always opt to add some ingredients such as Boiled Morning Glory (15 baht), Boiled Pork Balls (15 baht), Stewed Beef (20 baht) and Bounced-Boiled Pork (20 baht).

For those who are still mourning the departure of Kenny Rogers Roasters in Singapore since they announced it in April, dry your tears because they are making a comeback in Singapore.

Kenny Rogers Roasters will be opening in JEM during the second week of October 2019 (they have yet to confirm the official opening date) and our Muslim friends will be happy to know that the new Kenny Rogers Roasters is halal-certified.

Having carved a name for themselves with their delicious Rotisserie Chicken, ooey and gooey Mac & Cheese, as well as their super-sinful Baby Back Ribs, every Singaporean’s heart felt that ache when they announced their withdrawal from the country on the 14th of April.

However, in a somewhat dramatic turn of events, Kenny Rogers Roasters is actually brought back to Singapore by the Lao Huo Tang group and it will be a fast and casual dining concept.

Other than the Famous Rotisserie-Roasted Chicken, Kenny Rogers Roasters’ menu will be featuring new dishes such as the OMG(Outragous, Mouthwatering, Guiltless) Unfried Fried Chicken, Kenny’s Nasi Lemak, Classic Macaroni & Cheese, Corn Muffin! Expect your favourites (such as their Cornbread) to make a glamorous return as well!

Polished, elegant and intimate, Kaunta is a new Japanese restaurant in Tanjong Pagar that aims to provide diners with an authentic and lavish dining experience that’ll leave a lasting, memorable impression.

The modern 20-seater Japanese restaurant is by the same team behind The Sushi Bar—the popular sushi joint that first started at Far East Plaza.

The Sushi Bar is a restaurant for casual dining on a daily basis, but Kaunta, on the other hand, is more upmarket and made for occasions. They pride themselves on using only the freshest and most premium produce from Japan available to create their gastronomic masterpieces.

Allow the skilled chefs to take you on a multi-sensory journey; each and every bite of their meticulously crafted creations will open your eyes to the world of food from their point of view

You know that a meal visually exceeds its expectations when you dread tucking into the dish. It was almost too decadent to eat, especially after watching the chef painstakingly and meticulously assemble the entire dish.

That is how we felt before we began eating these bowls of art; each and every dish was created with so much poise and precision that it almost felt sinful to so much as move a single piece of uni.

Seafood aficionados will appreciate Bara (S$35)—a bara chirashi don featuring a medley of cubed seasonal fish, scallops, anago, unagi and ikura atop a bed of burdock gobo sushi rice.

This vibrant assemble was as pleasing to the palate as it was to the eyes and we love how the kaleidoscopic colours of the fish were further enhanced by a speckling of edible flowers and greens which made the dish almost too pretty to eat.

The seasonal fish, as promised, were exceptionally fresh, and every component provided its own unique element to the dish. Each bubble of ikura also added a lovely burst of flavour while complementing the tastes and textures of the other ingredients.  We also love how the sweetness of raw fish and ikura also paired contrastingly well with the earthiness of the burdock gobo sushi rice.

A special menu item that is available during lunch for a limited period is their A5 Wagyu Beef Bowl (S$50). This divine creation features perfectly seared chunks of the Rolls Royce of all beef, buttery foie gras, white truffle shavings and creamy uni that was balanced on a soft-boiled egg.

The impeccably tender beef paired well with the melt-in-your-mouth foie gras, creating a decadent combination of flavours that were packed full of umami. The uni added a nice briny touch to the dish without overwhelming its other components and together with the soft boiled egg, it provided the entire dish with a creamy texture that pulled all the dishes different elements together.

Located just opposite King Albert Park MRT in the cozy neighbourhood of Bukit Timah sits the newly opened Kong Cafe that has been styled in a minimalist concept which highlights its commitment to modern aesthetics.

Upon entry into the cafe, we were greeted by the clean-cut bright white walls of the cafe, which offered a calm and comfortable ambience that could potentially turn this new kid on the block into the next hip social hangout in the west of Singapore.

On our visit, we ordered the Ham & Cheese Toastie (S$10), Korean-style Beef & Cheese Toastie (S$12) and the Iced Latte (S$7).

Both toasties came hot off the press, grilled to a light brown and divided into fours for easy eating or to share amongst friends. For the Ham & Cheese Toastie, we were pleasantly surprised by the additional ingredient which made for a more savoury dish as a whole.

The addition of the tomato paste gave the toastie an extra kick of flavour which tasted almost similar to a calzone. So, if you are looking for a snack size version of a pizza, this would be your pick.

On the other hand, the Korean-style Beef & Cheese Toastie was a refreshing Korean-inspired dish which melded the western sandwich with the beloved Beef Bulgogi. Though we were not really big fans of onions, the presence of the beef, spinach and melted cheese was a perfect mask which made the taste of the onion unnoticeable.

Compared to the Ham & Cheese Toastie, we were definitely bigger fans of the beef toastie.

Using the 22 Martin Blend from Common Man Roasters, the cafe’s Iced Latte was a great caffeine pick-me-up that encompassed the classic coffee flavours which went well with the toasties and the array of pastries available.

As the cafe is still in the stage of their soft launch, the current menu only carries a limited range of items. However, you can expect a full menu when this up-and-coming cafe officially opens on 1 October!

Kogane Yama, whose name translates to “Golden Mountain”, specialises in serving premium Japanese tendon and other traditional Japanese fares with modern twists and flavours. Known for using only the freshest ingredients and creating the most delicious dishes at a rather affordable price point, Kogane Yama is not one to disappoint.

This August, Kogane Yama has launched a new menu with 3 brand-new Japanese side dishes, 4 flavours of Chahan (garlic fried rice), 2 flavourful bowls of ramen and their National Day dishes, the Salted Egg Tori Karaage Don and Chilli Crab Tendon.

With the market still riding the strong wave of local-inspired dishes, Kogane Yama’s National Day dishes should definitely be on your must-try list. They will only be available from 1 to 31 August 2019 so savour these delectable donburis before they’re gone for good!

SIDE DISHES

Kicking off the meal were three brand new additions to Kogane Yama’s side dish menu. The selection features Idako (seasoned baby octopus), Chinmi (scallop frills) and Kurage (seasoned jellyfish). Prepared with fresh seafood and seasoned to perfection, these traditional Japanese side dishes are a great way to start your meal at Kogane Yama.

We particularly enjoyed the Kurage, seasoned simply with sesame oil, sesame seeds and Japanese chilli flakes. Simplicity at its best, the savoury taste and fresh crunch of the jellyfish definitely whet our appetites.

CHAHAN – GARLIC FRIED RICE

Next up on the table was Kogane Yama’s new myriad of Chahan—an aromatic garlic fried rice. There will be not one, but four, new renditions of this Japanese classic, featuring 4 different types of meat and seafood—Unagi (eel), Salmon, Shirasu (white bait) and Chicken.

Japanese pearl rice is fried with egg, soy sauce and golden brown garlic chips to achieve that smoky flavour known and loved by Japanese cuisine fans. It is a savoury dish that is full of flavour yet still light on the palate.

Our favourites were definitely the Unagi and Salmon Chahan. The fresh flavour and buttery texture of the salmon paired perfectly with the aromatic fried rice, giving it that extra indulgence.

The Unagi Chahan, on the other hand, had a smoky and strong savoury taste, bringing an added depth of flavour to the lightly-flavoured rice. The smoky unagi paired immaculately with the crispy garlic and pearl rice such that we could not help but go for seconds!

HOKKAIDO-STYLE MISO-TONKOTSU RAMEN

Kogane Yama has also released two new ramen dishes with an enriched pork-bone miso broth and springy Hokkaido-style ramen noodles. It comes with two different toppings—Seafood Miso Ramen and Pork Belly Miso Ramen.

The Pork Belly Miso Ramen contains thinly-sliced pork belly strips, fried cabbage and a perfectly runny Hanjuku egg. Simple yet full of flavour, this umami-bomb bowl of ramen will tingle and tantalise your tastebuds.

The Seafood Miso Ramen, on the other hand, comes with juicy prawns, scallops, squid slices and a Hanjuku egg—perfect for seafood lovers. The seafood adds a hint of sweetness to the rich miso-tonkotsu broth, making it even more indulgent and delicious.

You can complete your meal, making it a set that comes with a mini salad or chawanmushi (steamed egg) and a cup of green tea.

CHILLI CRAB TENDON

Kogane Yama is well-loved for their generous portions and delicious Tendon bowls. This National Day, Kogane Yama has created one for Singaporeans and tourists alike to enjoy, featuring a nation-wide favourite flavour—Chilli Crab.

Thick, rich and with a kick of spice, the Chilli Crab gravy is drizzled over a generous array of deep-fried golden-brown ingredients including crispy soft shell crab, sweet potato and long beans. The perfectly-fried savoury toppings complement the sweet and spicy sauce and fluffy Japanese pearl rice.

This Tendon is definitely the show-stopper of Kogane Yama’s upcoming menu.

SALTED EGG TORI KARAAGE DON

If you’re following the cult-favourite Salted Egg trend that has been going strong in Singapore for the past few years, you will be absolutely delighted with this National Day launch from Kogane Yama.

Their Salted Egg Tori Karaage Don features crispy yet juicy fried chicken chunks, stir-fried with a thick salted egg gravy such that every single piece is coated. The salted egg sauce is not overly cloying, having a slight sweetness and a hint of spice from chopped chillis.

Topped with an onsen egg, the dish will be your most indulgent guilty pleasure this August. The Chilli Crab Tendon and Salted Egg Tori Karaage Don will only be available from 1 August to 31 August 2019 so catch these National Day specials before they are gone forever!

YUZU YOGURT JAPANESE SODA

Of course, something to quench your thirst while having such rich and indulgent flavours is necessary. Give Kogane Yama’s Japanese Sodas a try. They come in big pitchers and are great for sharing with friends.

The tanginess and tartness of the yuzu combined the mild sweetness of the yogurt make for a refreshing palate cleanser. It’s perfect in-between dishes or just as a way to wrap up a good meal with your pals!

KFC is seriously the gift that keeps giving. We all love some good ol’ fried chicken and of course, KFC always delivers. Following closely behind their Saucy Wings, KFC’s newest creation is set to be well-loved by Singaporeans: Cereal Chicken.

From 28 June 2019 onwards, KFC’s Cereal Chicken will be tickling your taste buds with a well-known yet distinct flavour so hurry down to the nearest KFC outlet for some cereal-sly good fried chicken.

Be prepared to get your hands dirty, and trust us when we say that this mess is something you’ll want to get into because it’s just too finger lickin’ good!

If you’ve had a certain cereal dish at any traditional zi char stalls in Singapore, you would know those flavourful little flakes are dangerously addictive. It goes with absolutely everything – prawns, crabs and most definitely, chicken.

With the new Cereal Chicken, KFC has taken a familiar and well-loved zi char flavour and brought it to the next level by incorporating it into our favourite fried chicken!

Each piece of their signature Hot & Spicy chicken is coated generously with Nestum cereal that boasts an array of flavour profiles – buttery, sweet, spicy and savoury – that comes from wok-frying the cereal together with butter, curry leaves and fresh chilli.

Biting into the extremely crunchy skin and cereal, you’ll be met with meat so moist and tender that it falls right off the bone.

When you’re done with the chicken, chances are that you’ll be snacking on the cereal bits and licking the remnants off your fingers, because it is that addictive.

In fact, we sprinkled the leftover cereal bits on top of our Whipped Potato and Coleslaw because we can’t let these delicious morsels go to waste, can we? And we are glad to let you know that it was probably the best decision ever.

If you just want a sampler, the 1 piece Cereal Chicken (S$3.65) or Cereal Chicken 2pcs Meal (S$8.95) would be your best bet. The meal comes with 2 pieces of Cereal Chicken, 1 regular Whipped Potato, 1 regular Coleslaw and 1 regular Nestlé SJORA® Mango Peach.

For a truly satisfying meal, get the Cereal Chicken Box Meal (S$10.95) which comes with 2 pieces of Cereal Chicken and 2 pieces of Hot & Crispy Tenders. It includes 1 regular Whipped Potato, 1 regular Fries and 1 regular Nestlé SJORA® Mango Peach as well.

The Cereal Chicken 5pcs Meal (S$19.55) is perfect for a family affair or a gathering with friends. Or a really hungry person – we don’t judge. What you get is 5 pieces of Cereal Chicken, 2 regular Whipped Potatoes, 2 regular Coleslaw, and 2 regular Nestlé SJORA® Mango Peach.

Fans of KFC’s Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart, we have good news for you! Come 28 June 2019, KFC will be bringing back this crowd favourite for a limited time only.

Decadent molten hazelnut chocolate-filled centre that oozes out when you bite into the melt-in-your-mouth egg custard encased in a buttery and flaky crust, you’ll want to head to the nearest KFC to get your hands on these indulgent treats ASAP.

The Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tarts go for S$1.50 per piece and if you get 5 pieces, you’ll get 1 free at S$7.50.

Nestled within the contemporary and sleek XY Hotel Bugis Singapore is Kava Bistro. This cosy little bistro and cafe is run by a family dishing up Halal-Western fare that are fused with Asian flavours.

With a swan floatie drifting through the pool seen overhead through the transparent panel while Queen’s Radio Ga Ga played in the background, stepping into the space that Kava Bistro occupies is like entering a problem-free world.

From Classic Cheeseburgers to Kava K-Pop Drumlets and Ondeh-Ondeh Cinnamon Rolls, Kava Bistro’s unique food selection and charming ambience enraptured us within the first few minutes we were here.

The first dish we had was the Classic Cheeseburger (S$10). The burger instantly appealed to us with its oozy cheese, pillowy buns and thickly-cut sweet potato fries.

Although the beef patty of the burger required more seasoning, we thoroughly enjoyed the other aspects of the burger, particularly the gooey cheese that perfectly covered every inch of the huge patty.

The delicious thick-cut sweet potato fries were made up of two kinds of sweet potato—the orange and the yellow.

We also ordered the Classic Aglio Olio (S$12) which was served along with cherry tomatoes and smelled incredibly fragrant.

The linguine was perfectly al-dente and thoroughly coated in olive oil, flakes of black pepper, and chopped bits of red chilli and garlic. Although the pasta dish held quite a kick of spice from the black pepper and red chilli, we enjoyed the dish for its simplicity and how deliciously aromatic it was.

However, there are certain situations where bargaining in Singapore is acceptable. This includes flea markets at *SCAPE Marketplace and Lucky Plaza.

Finishing our meal off with the Ondeh-Ondeh Cinnamon Roll (S$5), this baked goodie is a combination of the very best of both desserts!

We were greeted with a whiff of the pandan fragrance upon taking our first bite, then it was followed by the sweetness of gula melaka. There was also a faint hint of cinnamon and coconut. This creative dessert is definitely not one you should miss out on despite it looking a bit more intimidating with its rich shade of green.
