Ever since house parties became illegal in Singapore during the circuit breaker, people have been turning to Houseparty and Skype a lot more. Video calling apps are an absolute lifesaver during this period when we still want to catch up and spend time with pals.

If you’re looking to spice up your video calls, why not have a virtual meal together? Sure, it’s not the same as going out for dinner together but it’s the closest thing you’ll get.

Not sure of where to start? We’ve compiled together 8 Asian-style restaurants in Singapore that are having sweet takeaway deals and islandwide delivery! Korean stews and Japanese rice bowls included.

Spoiler alert: Three of your favourite Korean restaurants have launched an unprecedented crossover menu!

CHIR CHIR / MASIZZIM / NIPONG NAEPONG

Down for a full-fledged Korean feast? We’ve got the ultimate pit-stop for you.

Chir Chir, Masizzim and Nipong Naepong have joined forces and unleashed a combined takeaway and delivery menu! Witness the monumental collision of Korean fried chicken, galbi-jjim and fusion jjampong in one place.

Cross-order across all three brands and have a Korean-style dinner like never before. Get your hands on Chir Chir’s Crispy Fried Chicken (S$16.90/half, S$26.90/whole) if you’re after some ASMR action. Spicy food lovers, get your iced water on standby as you demolish the sticky Spicy Chicken (S$17.90/half, S$28.90/whole).

If you’re more in the mood for some bubbling stews, Masizzim’s galbi-jjim is just the thing you’re looking for. Cosy up with their heartwarming Spicy Beef Rib Stew (S$18.80, S$32.80) that is packed with the shiok factor.

Ride on the spicy wave with Nipong Naepong’s Cha Ppong (S$16.90), a classic seafood jjampong well-equipped with mussels, prawns, cabbage and quail eggs. Or go off the rails with their Ni Pizza — Sweet Potato (S$17.90), a playful sweet potato pizza served with whipped cream.

Eating out can be all fun and games but there are just those days when our legs just don’t feel like cooperating. All we want to do is just sprawl across our bed and cosy up with our favourite Netflix show.

Well, thank God for food delivery services. Whether you’re getting emotional over Crash Landing On You or at the edge of your seat watching Money Heist, you can always get grub served to you at your doorstep in minutes.

We’ve put together a list of 6 comfort foods to accompany your binge-watching sessions and where you can get them from. Take your pick from chewy Korean noodles to Japanese rice bowls!

#1 BAK KUT TEH

On those rainy days when you just want to snuggle up on the couch and get cosy with a hot bowl of soup, you can’t go wrong with bak kut teh. This comforting dish hits all the right spots with its rich herbal broth and fall-off-the-bone pork ribs.

Plus, delivering this dish to your house allows the ribs to stew a little longer, enriching the broth and tenderising the meat just a tad more.

If you’re craving this heartwarming dish, Kota Zheng Zong Bak Kut Teh has got your back. This Johor-based bak kut teh claypot restaurant cooks their soups over a charcoal flame, promising full-bodied herbal flavours.

#3 FRIED CHICKEN

Crispy, golden and greasy — fried chicken is quite simply, magical. Taking a bite into a crackling, juicy drumstick after a long tiring day is the culinary equivalent of taking a shower on a sweltering afternoon. The best part about having fried chicken at home? You can eat as messily as you want without worrying about looking like a caveman in public.

For a satisfying fried chicken indulgence, look no further than Chir Chir. This chain restaurant does some seriously good Korean fried chicken, with quirky flavours such as mala and cream onion.

#4 GALBI-JJIM

If you’ve never had galbi-jjim before, you’re missing out. This Korean dish sees fall-off-the-bone beef short ribs braised in a rich, savoury sauce. Pairing perfectly with a bowl of steamed rice, this homely dish makes for a wholesome, fuss-free dinner.

And don’t worry, having this as a takeaway will only enhance its flavour as the meat sits longer in the delicious gravy. You can get this Korean classic from Masizzim or Hanok by Masizzim.

Both concepts are centred around delicious, authentic Korean cuisine — think bubbling cauldrons of rich stews and charred, crisp pancakes.

#6 TENDON DONBURI

If the Japanese were to share their longevity secrets with us, eating tendon donburi would probably not make it to the list. Anyhow, this sinful treat is to die for. ASMR-crispy tempura on a bed of perfectly cooked rice? We’re down. And, trust us, it isn’t going to get soggy on its way to your house.

Hit up Kogane Yama to get a fix of some scrumptious tendon donburi bowls. If you’re not craving fried foods, they also offer garlic fried rice and salmon salads.

The delivery menus for all the six restaurants offer majority of the dine-in dishes, with the exception of those that are not recommended for transport.

For raw fish lovers, nothing is as satisfying as a chirashi don; what is there not to love about a bowl of warm rice that is topped with a smorgasbord of freshly chopped sashimi?

As much as we would love to be able to have this for lunch every day, we are restained by its steep price point. A serving of chirashi don at most places can easily set you back by quite a fair bit due to the use of such premium ingredients. However, not all hope is lost and we are glad to tell you that there are places out there that dish out affordable bowls of this goodness.

After doing a little research, we have here a list of 10 places that serve up stellar bowls of chirashi dons for less than S$20.

CHIRASHI KING KONG 

Chirashi King Kong, as its name says, serves up scrumptious bowls of chirashi don that are sure to satisfy your raw fish cravings. We recommend getting their Barachirashi (S$14.90) and King Kong Bowl (S$15.90) which each come topped with a copious amount of freshly sliced raw fish. We also love their truffle-infused rice which definitely elevates the dish and gives it an added burst of flavour.

GINZUSHI 

For the westies, you can get yourself a bowl of chirashi don at Ginzushi at Jurong Point Shopping Mall. Their Bara Chirashi Don Set (S$14.80) features warm rice topped with chunks of salmon, tuna, amberjack, ikura and tamago. The chirashi don here is good for people with smaller appetites as the serving size is quite small.

IZUMI JAPANESE FISH MARKET

If you’re too lazy to DIY your chirashi don, you can also opt to have their Bara Chirashi Ebimayo Aburi Don (Mini S$9.50, Regular S$16.90) which features cubes of half-grilled salmon raw fish, tamagoyaki and tempura bits that are blanketed in an incredibly aromatic blow-torched shrimp roe mayonnaise.

**Multiple outlets islandwide

Japanese eateries are common in Singapore; there are a plethora of them scattered all over our sunny island and their prices can range from wallet-friendly to ‘I may have to eat soya sauce and rice for the next 2 weeks’.

Joining the ranks of the wallet-friendly list is Sora Boru, a brand-new Japanese dining concept in Somerset that dishes out a wide range of Japanese casual one-dish meals at incredibly affordable prices. Sora Boru is conveniently located in the heart of town at 313@Somerset and it is little wonder how it is already so well-received among executives who work in the area as well as students and shoppers.

Playfully named after the way the Japanese pronounce ‘bowl’, Sora Boru’s menu includes customisable chirashi-don, curry rice bowls, soba and their signature Volcano Beef Don and Snow Beef Don. All the mains here come in regular and mini sizes—great for different people with varying appetites.

And from 17 to 30 April 2019, quote “ladyironchef” or flash this advertorial when you order any Regular main and get any Mini of your choice at Sora Boru!

As of August 2019, Sora Boru is officially halal-certified. You can bring your Muslim friends to enjoy Sora Boru’s affordable Japanese meals.

VOLCANO BEEF DON

Aptly named after its appearance, Sora Boru’s Volcano Beef Don (S$11.90) is a glorified beef bowl of Japanese rice topped with your choice of stewed cabbage or seasoned bean sprouts and a massive pile of incredibly tender flame-grilled slices of beef.

The cherry on top is the rivulets of ‘lava’ that run down the sides of the volcano, which is essentially Sora Boru’s special in-house concocted spicy sauce. Coating the heap of beef evenly and generously, the sauce adds that much needed fiery kick that makes this dish deserving of its volcanic title.

SNOW BEEF DON 

On the other end of the spectrum is their Snow Beef Don (S$11.90) where instead of spicy gochujang sauce, the beef is doused in a unique homemade sweet and savoury sauce that is made from whipping cream. This is further enhanced by a generous sprinkling of grated parmesan which gives the dish its snow effect.

In comparison to its spicy counterpart, the Snow Beef Don has a creamier texture as well as a much sweeter flavour that stems from the whipping cream. The contrast of the sweetness from the sauce with the savouriness from the parmesan cheese created a medley of varying flavours that definitely got us hooked!

If we had to choose between the two, we admit that it won’t be an easy decision because we are equally obsessed with both of them. But if you really can’t make up your mind, then get both! We recommend getting the mini versions of both don (S$7.50 each) so that you can have the best of both worlds!

CUSTOMISABLE CHIRASHIBORU 

Fans of chirashi-don would know that a decent bowl of this goodness does not come cheap. Here at Sora Boru, fill your bowl to the brim with juicy cubes of sashimi. Mini bowls are super affordable and are priced at S$6.50, while regular bowls are at S$11.90 and large bowls at S$16.90.

What we also love about their chirashi-don is its customisability. Through a six-step process, diners can pick and choose their preferred bowl size, base, raw fish, add-ons, sauces and garnishes.

Examples of some of the raw fish that you can choose to add into your ChirashiBoru are salmon, scallop, tuna, octopus and swordfish.

BARA CHIRASHI EBIMAYO ABURI DON 

If you want to up your chirashi don game, you can opt for their Bara Chirashi Ebimayo Aburi Don (Mini S$9.50, Regular S$16.90) instead. This bowl of goodness features cubes of assorted half-grilled seafood such as salmon and baby scallops, tamagoyaki, tempura bits and cucumber that are blanketed in an incredibly aromatic blow-torched shrimp roe mayonnaise.

The savoury umami of the shrimp roe mayonnaise was reminiscent of the flavours of mentaiko. Blow-torching the decadent sauce also created a lovely char and an irresistible smoky flavour. Texture wise, the tempura bits added a lovely crunch to the entire dish and provided a nice contrast to the chewy sashimi cubes.

If chirashi and beef do aren’t your thing, you can always try the other dons available which include their Salmon Teriyaki Toji Don (Mini S$7.50, Regular S$13.90), Chicken Teriyaki Toji Don (Mini S$4.90, Regular S$8.50) and Ebi Vegetable Tendon (Mini S$4.90, Regular S$9.50).

CURRYBORU 

Japanese curry has always been regarded as one of Japan’s most well-loved comfort foods, which is why Sora Boru has an entire section of their menu dedicated to this perennial favourite.

Every bowl of CurryBoru here is drenched in a gratifyingly rich curry sauce that is cooked with a secret recipe that has been fine-tuned and perfected for months. Mildly spicy with subtle hints of fruity acidity, this robust concoction packs on a lot of flavours without being too cloying. Based on how much heat you can take, you can also choose between two levels of spiciness.

Each bowl of curry rice is paired with one type of deep-fried meat or seafood. Some options available are the Chicken Katsu CurryBoru (Mini S$6.50, Regular S$10.90), Shabu Beef CurryBoru (Mini S$6.50, Regular S$10.90) and Breaded Ebi CurryBoru (Mini S$6.50, Regular S$10.90).

If you’re feeling more peckish than usual, you can opt for one of their curry combo sets which are the Breaded Ebi with Shabu Beef CurryBoru (Regular S$12.90) and the Breaded Salmon with Shabu Beef CurryBoru (Regular S$11.90).

CHA SOBA SETS 

Sora Boru also has a selection of noodle options for you to tuck into. The cha soba here is springy and cooked to a nice al dente which goes perfectly with the chilled, savoury dipping sauce or warm soup.

The cha soba can also be enjoyed with your choice of accompaniments such as Ebi Vegetable Tempura (Mini S$7.50, Regular S$12.90), Chicken Karaage (Mini S$6.50, Regular S$10.90) and Chicken Katsu (Mini S$6.50, Regular S$10.90).

SCRUMMY SIDES

If you’d like more food for sharing (or if you’re simply ravenous), get some sides to go along with your mains. The recommended picks are Chicken Gyoza (S$8.50 for 6 pieces), Chawanmushi (S$1.90) and Yasai Corn Tempura with Tartar Sauce (S$5.50).

Our favourite of the lot is the Crispy Salmon Skin with Egg Mayo Dip (S$8.50) which features insanely crispy slivers of fish skin fried to a lovely golden brown. The egg mayo dip adds an addictively sweet and savoury touch to the salmon skin and we couldn’t stop ourselves from slathering everything on sight with it.
