An Honest Review of KFC Singapore’s Fried Chicken Skin + Where To Get It
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have heard by now of KFC Singapore’s Fried Chicken Skin, which caused quite the stir when it was announced.
Since its limited release on 11 November, much of social media has turned to watching live updates on KFC Singapore’s Instagram for where to these elusive, popular chicken skins; it completely sold out at all 10 outlets where it’s available on Day One.
But before you cry, “But you can taste the same thing from peeling off the fried chicken what!” Let’s dive into my honest take on KFC’s Fried Chicken Skins.
Starter Lab Singapore @ Havelock Road, Tiong Bahru – Famous Bali Bakery Sets Up Shop in the Heartlands
Tiong Bahru, the quaint mecca of all things cafe hopping in Singapore, now has one more gem to add to her crown of hipster cafes and coffee joints. Starter Lab, the bakery renowned for its sourdough loaves in Cangu, Bali, has set up shop right in the heartlands.
BUNDT by The Backyard Bakers @ Havelock II, Chinatown – Unapologetically Badass Takeaway Bakery with a Daily Changing Menu
BUNDT by The Backyard Bakers, or Backyard Bakers as they are affectionally known to regulars, may be one of Singapore’s best kept foodie secrets.
Operating out of a takeaway kiosk at Havelock II near Chinatown, BUNDT is The Backyard Bakers’ sole physical space, following the recent closure of its GRAZE outlet in West Coast. This minimally-decorated joint is so tight (think can’t swing your ponytail; let alone your cat kind of tight), making the quality of the food they churn out on a daily basis, nothing short of a minor miracle.
There’s one catch, though: there’s no fixed menu. But here’s a breakdown of some of The Backyard Bakers’ more popular offerings, plus how you can get your hands on them!

If ever there was a prize for personifying the saying, “a couple that works together, stays together,” the honour would no doubt go to Creamery Boutique Ice Creams. Nestled amongst other cafes and watering holes along Tyrwhitt Road in Lavender, the boutique dessert cafe is actually the Singapore branch of a Thai dessert brand.
The Affogato Lounge @ Keong Saik Road, Outram Park – Classy Affogato Desserts in a Boutique Hotel (Media)
Following the success of The Affogato Bar, Singapore’s first standalone coffee bar to specialise in affogato desserts, The Affogato Group has opened its second concept, The Affogato Lounge on the ground floor of boutique hotel KeSa House on Keong Saik Road.
Cheeky @ Neil Road, Outram Park – Cafe by Day, Craft Beer Joint by Night (Media)
Every so often, a new entry joins Singapore’s burgeoning scene of self-proclaimed hipster cafes, bistros, and craft beer joints – so much so that it’s impossible to keep up with who’s coming and going.
Taking over the space previously held by Botanist (another cafe from my growing list of places that I never got to visit before they closed) on Neil Road is Cheeky, a cafe-by-day, craft-beer-joint-by-night establishment.
Like so many of its predecessors that have come and gone in our ever so fickle F&B landscape, Cheeky aims to break the mould by delivering “top-notch cafe fare with a twist or two”.
