Singa Snacks (Bukit Merah)

Managed to learn about the existence of Singa Snacks whilst scrolling around the phone the other day; Singa Snacks is a coffeeshop stall that is situated within the Kim San Leng coffeeshop at Blk 116 Bukit Merah View. Based on their social media accounts, this is actually one of two (2) outlets that they have around the island; the other one is said to be situated within Chinatown. Singa Snacks should be a stall that is quite easy to locate within the Kim San Leng coffeeshop at Blk 116 Bukit Merah View; just look out for the signage with a white background with the logo of a lion that is located in a corner at the right of the coffeeshop — these folks are situated in between a stall serving up Ngoh Hiang and Fried Prawn Fritters, and the stall that serves up Hong Kong-style roast meats there. A stall that focuses on serving up Min Jiang Kueh, Singa Snacks is one of those stalls that follows the likes of other new-style Min Jiang Kueh stalls such as the likes of Munchi Pancakes, Ottie Pancakes and Sarah’s Pancakes that serves up a variety of Min Jiang Kueh featuring different fillings with various pancake skins (i.e. Original, Matcha and Charcoal). In addition to its Min Jiang Kueh offerings, we did see Singa Snacks also offer stir-fried Bee Hoon, Nyonya Kueh etc. that seems to be sourced from other vendors.

We were given a corner piece of the Min Jiang Kueh for our order of the Original Red Bean; it was much of a pity that there wasn’t a wide selection of Min Jiang Kueh available at Singa Snacks when we dropped by the stall on a weekend afternoon — the only variants that came with the Matcha and Charcoal pancake skin were all accompanied with a peanut filling, while the Min Jiang Kueh coming with the coconut and the red bean filling were all only accompanied with the original pancake skin. The pancake itself does seem to be fairly well-made; whilst being made to be on the thicker side to replicate the likes of those that Min Jiang Kueh that Munchi Pancakes and Ottie Pancakes serves up, the Original pancake at Singa Snacks does feel softer with a little more bounce whilst still being adequately chewy even after being displayed for quite a while. What really impressed up was the crispness of the edges of the pancake which was pretty light and delivered a good crunch. In the meanwhile, the red bean filling does come pretty decent; smooth, whilst carrying a paste-like texture that is sufficiently dense without being overly sweet.
