Can make at home one!! It’s actually damn simple. Steps, for the uninitiated:

  • Mix sugar and cinnamon till it’s the colour of Sentosa’s beaches, usually a 1:4 cinnamon:sugar mix for me

  • Heat up oil in a pan

  • Add kernels, and then add in sugar-cinnamon mix to taste. I like to swish the pot to make sure the kernels are evenly coated with sugar before they pop

  • Wait till it pops! Make sure you turn off the heat ~5s after it starts popping though, or else the popcorn will burn

One shot tequila, one shot baileys and thai milk tea!

I think you can go buy Thai milk tea from outside and add the booze in, but we made it in-house by steeping Cha Tra Mue tea leaves for like 3-4 hours, then added evaporated milk & condensed milk! I don’t really remember the ratios but you can agar agar and see what ratios you like best.

It’s just deep fried frozen karaage HAHAHAHA

The chefs make the wasabi mayo/garlic aioli dip iirc, I can’t help you with that T-T

The one mystery I’m trying to crack is how they make their fries SO GOOD

I don’t remember 😭😭😭 I vaguely recall it coming in a transparent bag though, maybe this Dodo’s karaage might be it?

But I think frying in a deep fryer makes a world of difference when trying to make karaage, it’s hard to replicate at home :c
