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.

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”, [...]

We always talk about a good bowl of noodles. Now, how about a good BOX of noodles? Take-out noodle or “mien” boxes are quite common in some overseas countries, though seldom seen in Singapore.

Another fried chicken fast food restaurant has arrived in Singapore, and this is one which came all the way from the UAE. ChicKing first established its name in the Middle East and India, and now plans to reach out to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
