It seems like the “Boycott Jollibee” page has brought the fastfood group more hype and success than ever. Initially accused of discrimination in hiring and preference for Filipino staff, Jollibee Singapore turned around to say there are hiring 61 Singapore nationals and PR out of their 83 workers. (Read: Calls to Boycott Jollibee Singapore Ridiculous [...]

Omakase Burger. So much hype. 8 Days says it’s “possibly the best burger in Singapore” and Straits Times says the burger “is king”. That means I have to make it all the way to The Grandstand (former Turf City) twice, to first fulfill my curiosity and then give it another chance. The name “Omakase” which [...]

It is not only SMTOWN that has come to Singapore, one of Korea’s most popular fried chicken specialist NeNe Chicken has also arrived at The Star Vista. The name ‘NeNe’ shouldn’t be difficult to remember, and simply means “Yes! Yes!” in Korean. I overheard the first lady at the fast food counter who exclaimed, “I [...]

Wait a minute! You mean the potatoes sold at Ireland’s Potatoes are not from Ireland? Before you feel cheated, the shop is so named after it was “inspired” by the “Great Potato” famine in Ireland’s during 1845, which made the Irish treasure potatoes a lot more. Therefore it was Irish’s passionate and appreciative attitude toward [...]

I love to discover new food, and the brand new F&B outlet at Junction 10 should excite chicken wings lovers – a shop selling deep fried wings with 16 different flavours! Junction 10 (the former Ten Mile Junction) does feel far for many, but its latest redevelopment should appeal better with a range of restaurants [...]

If you have not heard, King Albert Park fondly known as K.A.P has been sold to Oxley Holdings for $150 million. That would mean all seven units, including the favourites Cold Storage, Island Creamery and yes, McDonald’s at KAP would be closing and saying goodbye. Online voices are not too happy about it – that [...]

This Chinese New Year seems to be a crazier rush as it is this early in the year. Sometimes, we can just get too caught up with buying, giving and eating that we forget that the festival is really about togetherness and family moments. When omy.sg invited me for a CNY dinner with a group [...]

Burger King is probably one of the more adventurous fast food restaurants, with new burger flavours introduced regularly and a series of slapstick chicken videos done Stomp style. Which fast food restaurant tells you “How to deal with seat hoarding aunties” and “fart attacks in the MRT”? On the path of “BK way of chicken”, [...]

Somebody asked me as a food critic, if I eat McDonald’s? I mean, of course! A food critic should always give food a try – no discrimination right? Well, as part of its menu evolution, McDonald’s has launched the Chicken McGrill menu range. Grill is the new tasty at McDonald’s, and they are committed to [...]

Rock & Ash’s highlight is its made-to-order crispy fries ($3.90 for small serving). The fries came with exciting mixes of homemade dips such as wasabi mayo, black pepper, mayo and chilli to the rather peculiar chocolate and lemon curd. The good news is they are made fresh daily. I had the recommended spicy cheese sauce [...]
