New in the makan scene

Here are some things you can eat this weekend, or at least make a reservation for. 

Meat Zero Hero Ricebox

Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks has teamed up with Meat Zero for the Meat Zero Hero Ricebox ($7.90) . 

This means for those weaning off meat can still get a taste of the braised “meat”. The braising sauce is made from an old Taiwan recipe, and you’ll get the same sensation.

Meat Zero is made mainly from soybean, red beet, and bamboo fibre.

This dish is going for $6.90 at all outlets, except AMK Hub and NEX, until April 30,  You can also order via GrabFood, Foodpanda and Deliveroo.

Pepper Bun

I love this new limited edition item from Breadtalk.

The pepper bun ($1.80) is from its Taiwan Taste collection and inspired by the classic Taiwanese snack.

This crisp sesame bun is stuffed with a peppery minced pork filling, so you get a spicy, savoury bite.

The bun is available at all BreadTalk and Bread Society outlets island-wide (except Marina Bay Link Mall, Resorts World Sentosa, Raffles City, 313 Somerset & Centrepoint), and online on GrabFood, Foodpanda, Deliveroo, as well as their E-Store, www.breadtalk.com.sg/shop.

Golden Pillow Thai Green Curry Chicken Bun

Golden Pillow 933 has a revamped menu of more than 10 new dishes, while keeping the popular items. One new item is the Thai Green Curry Chicken Bun ($20.80), with boneless chicken thigh cooked in Thai green chillies, lemongrass, garlic, coriander, Thai basil leaves, and coconut milk.

And till March 24, there is a 50 per cent discount for selected dishes too.
