5 unique local foods to try
1. 800° Woodfired Kitchen: Chilli Crab Pizza and Pasta
Throwing a party or hosting a dinner? Chances are you’re likely to order up a storm with pizza and pasta in all kinds of flavours. Carbs are life, as we like to say. But if you’re in the mood for something a little unconventional, this is one dish you need to try. We’re talking about chilli crab pizza!
The piping hot pie comes with chilli crab sauce, shredded crab meat, cherry tomato, parsley and sprinklings of mozzarella – perfect for those who love chilli crab and pizza. If you’re more of a pasta person, go for that variation to sate your cravings.
Perk alert: enjoy 30% off when you tapau this dish using foodpanda pick-up from 11 April to 1 May 2022.
2. The Ice Cream Cookie & Co.: Ondeh Ondeh Ice Cream
A frosty scoop of ice cream to help us beat the Singapore heat and humidity is a welcome treat any day, any time. Are you team chocolate, vanilla or strawberry? Doesn’t matter, ‘cos we’ve got something better.
Enter homegrown brand The Ice Cream & Cookie Co.’s ice cold dessert version of your beloved ondeh ondeh (available on pandamart). Made with pandan coconut ice cream, chewy mochi orbs, desiccated coconut and drizzles of gula melaka, this is one heritage-inspired creation you’ll love. Oh, and it’s dairy-free, which means all your lactose-intolerant and vegan friends can enjoy it, too!
Perk alert: members of pandapro (foodpanda’s all-in-one subscription programme) get two 10% off pandamart vouchers monthly.
3. Woobbee: Pei Pa Koa Bubble Tea
Any bubble tea fans in the house? Let’s face it, that combination of tea, milk and tapioca pearls is classic and will never go out of style. The best part? You can customise it to your preferred flavours and go the adventurous route if you’d like.
We’ve got our eye on Woobbee’s Pei Pa Koa bubble tea (essentially herbal mint milk tea). This refreshing perk-me-up adds a splash of the sweet and syrupy medicine traditionally used to calm a sore throat or cough. Mint and milk, with a soothing aftertaste? We’re all for it!
Perk alert: enjoy free delivery for pandapro members (minimum order values may apply) or if you fancy a walk, get 15% off when you self-collect via pick-up.
4. The Fourty Thieves: Malay food with a twist
If Malay food is one of your favourites, you have to check out this 100% Muslim-owned restaurant. Besides serving up classic dishes like nasi lemak, mee siam and mee rebus, the kitchen thinks out of the box with its creations.
Want to sink your teeth into a juicy burger? Go for the Rendang Robbery or Satay Bruno burgers to enjoy beef patties dripping in rendang and satay sauces respectively. Or try the Ayam Masak Merah Burger made with chicken thigh, tandoori and the namesake sauce, also available as a lasagne version.
Perk alert: pandapro members can enjoy 20% off the total dine-in bill.
5. Butter Bean: BBrûlée Kopi Latte
We love kopi in all forms – a little caffeine kick is the best way to start the day. Whether you take it with condensed milk, sugar or ‘kosong’, you probably have a go-to hawker stall or eatery to get your daily fix.
Want to take it up a notch? Ditch your regular kopi for the day and order Butter Bean’s BBrûlée Kopi Latte. It’s a total treat: think Nanyang coffee and fresh milk with frothy, salty milk foam and a beautifully caramelised torched sugar top layer.
Perk alert: enjoy 35% off when you tapau this drink using foodpanda pick-up from 11 April to 1 May 2022.
