I’m a big fan of the KFC egg tarts. Even so, I can’t help but baulk when I read about what new ingredient the fast food company has added to these egg tarts for Chinese New Year. Mandarin orange! Now that’s an odd pairing. Gimmick or not, I know I have to try it. It’s not everyday you get to taste Mandarin orange egg tarts. With a quiet determination, I […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/feed/ 11 https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/ https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/#comments Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:05:28 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1006

When I first heard about the KFC Portuguese egg tarts, I was quite skeptical. Skeptical, but curious enough to buy a half dozen of these to try out. Surprisingly, the tarts turn out much better than expected! These creamy egg tart pastries are not to be confused with the traditional egg tarts which have a crumbly crust and an even yellow custard top. For Portuguese egg tarts, brown burn spots […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/nandos/ https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/nandos/#comments Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:29:27 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=855

I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a short trip last week. One of the things on my to-do list was to dine at Nando’s Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant, the UK fast food franchise specialising in the Afro-Portuguese peri peri (or piri piri) chicken. (Whoa, that’s one multi-national chicken!) My first peri peri experience was at AJ’s Piri Piri Chicken, another UK franchise that is modelled after Nando’s. Their chicken […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/nandos/feed/ 33 https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/ https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/#comments Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:46:23 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=851

How does this sound to you: a well marinaded and perfectly grilled chicken, drenched in a fiery hot African sauce? I don’t know about you, but that sure made me salivate! As soon as I hear that the UK fast food chain, AJ’s Piri Piri Chicken, has set up its first franchise outlet in Singapore that promises to bring us the aforementioned chicken, I make a mad rush down to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/aj-piri-piri-chicken/feed/ 28 https://sparklette.net/food/macau-express/ https://sparklette.net/food/macau-express/#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:09:43 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/macau-express/

With the tens of thousands of people thronging the Singapore expo every weekend, the food outlets there must enjoy brisk business! Of these dozen or so restaurants that get to see a steady stream of diners, one of them is Macau express, a no-frills eatery promising Macanese cuisine. While Macanese cuisine does sound exotic, it is actually quite similar to Hong Kong cuisine, due to the close proximity between the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/macau-express/feed/ 10
