McDonald’s Singapore has revived the crowd favourite Samurai beef burger. Dipped in teriyaki sauce, the Samurai burger has remained my all-time favourite McDonald’s burger ever since tasting it years ago! (Until I get to try the McLobster, that is.) The Samurai beef burger is available in two options: regular with a single beef patty and the Double, which has two beef patties for those who want twice the oomph. Samurai […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-samurai-beef-burger/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/long-john-silvers/ https://sparklette.net/food/long-john-silvers/#comments Sat, 23 Jun 2012 07:04:12 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1346

For the past month, my family and I have been using DEALivery.sg to order food delivery weekly. It really saves us the hassle of cooking or going out for a meal and allows us to dine in the comfort of our home! And now, the good news is: more food merchants have been added to the mix! These include popular American seafood chain Long John Silver’s and local western hottie […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/long-john-silvers/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/mclobster/ https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/mclobster/#comments Fri, 04 Mar 2011 06:56:46 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1089

For reasons unknown, the Twitterverse is suddenly abuzz with chatter of the legendary McLobster. Some people claim that they have seen, even tasted the elusive sandwich. Credit With some sleuthing on the interwebs (now you know what I spend my time googling), I uncover some sightings of this mysterious lobster roll. Credit Apparently, the McLobster is only available in New England and the Canadian Maritimes for about two months in […]]]> https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/mclobster/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-chicken-mcgrill/ https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-chicken-mcgrill/#comments Thu, 03 Mar 2011 08:20:38 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1088

By now, everyone in Singapore (and their pets too) must have heard of the new McDonald’s Chicken McGrill burger. Launched on March 1, it is almost impossible to miss the massive marketing campaign that runs with the line “Make it Better, Make it Chicken McGrill” on TV, newspapers, and the internet. The fast food giant has even introduced an enticing limited period 1 for 1 offer that has spread virally […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-chicken-mcgrill/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/ https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/#comments Sun, 16 Jan 2011 03:00:05 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1061

I’m a big fan of the KFC egg tarts. Even so, I can’t help but baulk when I read about what new ingredient the fast food company has added to these egg tarts for Chinese New Year. Mandarin orange! Now that’s an odd pairing. Gimmick or not, I know I have to try it. It’s not everyday you get to taste Mandarin orange egg tarts. With a quiet determination, I […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/feed/ 11 https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/ https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/#comments Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:05:28 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1006

When I first heard about the KFC Portuguese egg tarts, I was quite skeptical. Skeptical, but curious enough to buy a half dozen of these to try out. Surprisingly, the tarts turn out much better than expected! These creamy egg tart pastries are not to be confused with the traditional egg tarts which have a crumbly crust and an even yellow custard top. For Portuguese egg tarts, brown burn spots […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/20-worst-drinks-in-the-world/ https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/20-worst-drinks-in-the-world/#comments Fri, 28 May 2010 04:51:10 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=970

Not too long ago people were freaking out over 1,000 calorie mooncakes. Bet they didn’t know about the 2,000-calorie ice cream shake! Men’s Health Magazine recently published a list of 20 worst drinks in terms of calories, fats and sugars. Not surprisingly, many of these beverages come from well-known fast food chains and coffee houses. Some are just downright scary. To find out more about each of these individual drinks […]]]> https://sparklette.net/foodbytes/20-worst-drinks-in-the-world/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/arnolds-fried-chicken/ https://sparklette.net/food/arnolds-fried-chicken/#comments Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:50:06 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=956

So I have been hearing a lot of rave reviews about Arnold’s Fried Chicken from readers, all of whom tout it as the best fried chicken in Singapore. Right after I announced on Twitter that I’m checking out Arnold’s, I was inundated with replies saying yeah! It’s better than KFC and even Popeyes! It’s not that hard to outdo the Colonel, but Popeyes? That’s a tall order. There are a […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/arnolds-fried-chicken/feed/ 28 https://sparklette.net/food/popeyes/ https://sparklette.net/food/popeyes/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:50:43 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=864

Wanna feast on finger lickin’ good fried chicken? Well, you probably can’t get it at KFC these days. But I’ll tell you where you can. Popeyes! No, not the spinach-eating cartoon character. Not exactly. I’m referring to Popeyes, the world’s second largest fast food chain specialising in chicken! But hey, if we’re talking about food quality, Popeyes trumps its biggest competitor any day. Not only are the chicken and fries […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/popeyes/feed/ 66 https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/ https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:46:23 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=851

How does this sound to you: a well marinaded and perfectly grilled chicken, drenched in a fiery hot African sauce? I don’t know about you, but that sure made me salivate! As soon as I hear that the UK fast food chain, AJ’s Piri Piri Chicken, has set up its first franchise outlet in Singapore that promises to bring us the aforementioned chicken, I make a mad rush down to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/feed/ 28 https://sparklette.net/food/kebab-station/ https://sparklette.net/food/kebab-station/#comments Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:16:40 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=843

Over the past weekend we had a little picnic (with wine!) at East Coast Park. Following a hectic week, an idyllic day at the beach really helps one relax. Maybe you can try it this weekend! Anyway since we were too lazy to bring any food, dinner was at one of the many eateries at the park. First we checked out Big Splash. No interesting restaurants there, although we did […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kebab-station/feed/ 9 https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-wasabi-filet-o-fish/ https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-wasabi-filet-o-fish/#comments Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:15:24 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=774

If you have passed by the Golden Arches recently, you may have noticed the new wasabi range of Filet-O-Fish and shaker fries. The fast food giant promises it would give you a “karai sensation”. So far, these wasabi items appear to be available only at McDonald’s Singapore. But wait a minute, wasabi on a battered fish patty? Wouldn’t that taste kind of… weird? Well, curiosity got the better of me! […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-wasabi-filet-o-fish/feed/ 13
