South Korea’s largest craft beer and fried chicken chain – with over 370 outlets in Korea – sets foot in the Telok Ayer neighbourhood this year. The chain has garnered a steady following among craft beer lovers, and among their fans are Korean celebrities like the cast of Running Man and actor Kim Da Mi. Expect to see a range of seven craft beers exclusively produced in partnership with small-batch Korean breweries. These are all served from the tap and in the brand’s iconic beer glasses. There are also Singapore-exclusive beers like the Telok Hazy IPA ($15), Telok Pale Ale ($14), and the K-Ginseng Lager ($13). The restaurant will serve crowd-favourite dishes like its popular Angry Bird fried chicken (from $27.90) which comes in four flavours – spicy; sweet garlic with aged soy sauce; kimchi; as well as sweet and spicy corn flakes with garlic seasoning.
We might be more than four months deep into the year, but the barrage of restaurant openings don’t seem to stop. This month, Singapore proves again why it deserves its label as the culinary node of Asia. We’ve got Korea’s largest craft beer and fried chicken chain setting up shop here, a new modern European restaurant that could very well double up as a contemporary art gallery, and a slew of new restaurants and cuisines to tickle every taste bud. Here are our picks of the best new eateries to dine at this May.
