Known for serving affordable and authentic Korean dishes, Ajumma’s Korean Restaurant has closed down its original outlet at The Cathay recently and it has officially opened its new location at Bukit Panjang Plaza on 21 Dec 2021.

Ajumma’s is a casual Korean eatery where you can get Korea homestyle cooking minus the frills (and service charge).

Most of the dishes on Ajumma’s menu are affordably priced under S$10 and they include options such as Chicken Bulgogi, Bibimbap, Spicy Ramyeon, and House-Smoked Mackerel.

The Beef Bulgogi (S$10.50) set comes with plump white rice and an assortment of small side dishes. The marinated grilled beef was juicy and savoury, best eaten with rice to balance the saltiness.

The Kimchi Ramyeon (S$8.90+) has a generous portion of noodles, meat, tofu and vegetables.

The opening of Ajumma’s Korean Restaurant at Bukit Panjang Plaza is definitely great news for those who are staying in the west of Singapore.

Renowned Hong Kong brand Tai Cheong Bakery is opening a new outlet at Bukit Panjang Plaza #01-39. Good news for those of you who are staying in the West of Singapore!

According to Tai Cheong Bakery’s Facebook Page, their newest branch is set to open soon in a couple of weeks, but no official date has been confirmed yet.

The new outlet at Bukit Panjang is a kiosk and not the full-fledged cha chaan teng like the outlet at Holland Village.

Brace yourself for long queues as Malaysia’s Ah Mah Homemade Cake—famous for its castella cake—is opening their very first outlet here in Singapore on 14 July 2017.

For the uninitiated, this baked treat craze originated in Nagasaki, Japan, and it comprises sugar, flour, eggs, and starch syrup. The Taiwanese rendition, with additions such as cheese, inspired the cakes made by the Ah Mah brand.

Fans of the Castella cake residing in the West are in for a treat because their first outlet will be located at Bukit Panjang Plaza. However, their second outlet which is slated to open in the coming week will be located at Vivocity.

Castella cakes have been popular in Singapore, with stores such as Le Castella selling the Taiwanese version of the sponge pastry.

The news of Ah Mah Homemade Cake’s Singapore debut came just three months after the popular Taiwanese brand, LE Castella, launched its first outlet in eastern Singapore at Tampines One mall, attracting hordes of fans lining up at the outlet for over an hour—a testament to how much Singaporeans love these soft spongy treats.

Ah Mah Homemade Cake has expanded to 14 outlets across Malaysia within three months, having sold over 100,000 boxes of the famous jiggly spongecakes.

The cakes, typically baked for 80 minutes, are mainly made of milk, eggs, and flour, and come in various flavours. Singaporeans can look out for two flavours—original and cheese.

As mentioned earlier, Ah Mah Homemade Cake’s second outlet is slated to open just six days later on 20 July 2017 at Vivocity.
