Twins : Korean Fried Chicken in Craig Road

-
It's almost the end of the month and I'm still celebrating my birthday! I guess, the beauty of having your birthday on the 1st day of the month is you can actually celebrate it for the next 29-30 days that follow. Hahaha!

For instance, the next working day following my birthday, I treated my closest colleagues out for lunch. We were actually supposed to head to a cafe for some brunch food but we spotted Twins, a newly opened restaurant along Craig Road in Tanjong Pagar. The interiors were simple, the walls painted in black but what caught out attention was that flashing sign from the bar that says "Korean Fried Chicken". Oohhhh!



Forget brunch food, we all wanted fried chicken! It was also a good thing that they have a special Lunch Set (S$11.90) which comes in three different varieties -- Chicken Set, Spicy Stir Fried Chicken Set and Bulgogi Lunch Set. We all went for the Fried Chicken Set and decided to get one flavor each and share later on. Talk about team work!

I got the Soy & Garlic, G went for the Cheese-flavored Fried Chicken, D was brave enough to try the spicy Yangnyum and C ordered the Original flavor. As soon as our plates came, we quickly divided the chicken all around. One order comes with 4 chicken wings, a mountain of fries and a cup of rice. Carbs on carbs! Oh boy!

The Soy & Garlic was, to me, the safest choice for people who loves Korean Fried Chicken. It has a nice sweet and salty balance which will make you want to eat more rice with it. If you ask me though, I wish I swapped my fries for some salad as it was just too filling and it made me incredibly sleepy at work after.

The Original is a simple fried chicken option with no special flavors or add-ons. It was a just a-ok as I really love Korean-style fried chicken and this one was crispy and juicy but totally falls miserably below Jollibee's Chicken Joy or my all-time favourite -- the Fried Chicken sold in Mini Stop.

Among all the flavors, I was most excited for D's Yangnyum. Initially I thought it will be really spicy but guess what, the heat level was very tolerable and it actually perked up the flavor a lot. This just got to be the most interesting choice that day and I'm so happy that D was so generous to share a piece for me to share. Yay!

Lastly, G's Cheese-flavoured chicken would probably be something kids will get. Personally though, I am not a fan of powdered cheese which tasted nothing like the real thing and has the tendency to be really salty too. The chicken was a bit on the dry side which didn't help improve this particular taste profile.

To rank all four flavors, I would definitely say the Yangnyum was the best followed by the Soy & Garlic and the Original and Cheese as the bottom two. Truth to be told, this is not yet the best Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore and I have yet to search for the yummiest. Stay tuned.

Twins is located at 7 Craig Road, Singapore 089667. Call them at 6221-5025.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
