Battle of The KFC Wings: Umadare versus Yang Yeum

Advertorial

 kfc crispy spicy

Loving how innovative KFC is these days!! Not long ago, I tried their new spicy recipe as pictured above. Red in colour and quite spicy especially when paired with their new chilli. Now they have launched chicken wings coated in 2 new, bold flavours!

They are inspired by the rich Japanese and Korean culture that we Singaporeans love so much. Not only are Korea and Japan increasingly popular tourist destinations, ask any local on the streets and they can name you at least one K-pop group or one Japanese dish.

kfc yang yeum wings

Korean-inspired Yang Yeum wings
Taste: Spicy, smoky and BBQ-like
Think of: K-pop bands, K-dramas and Korean BBQ

Japanese-inspired Umadare wings
Taste: Sweet, tangy and savoury
Think of: Manga, cosplay and sushi

kfc japanese korean wings

Freshly breaded in-store with a special batter and cooked to crispy perfection! I was very lucky to get to try both flavours at Junction 8 last week. Thanks, Nuffnang and KFC! So which did I like better? 🙂 To be honest, it was difficult having to choose just one!

kfc umadare yang yeum

Umadare for me because I like how well the sweetness of the batter goes with the chicken meat inside. But the Yang Yeum is very tasty too and those who like spicy food will enjoy its sizzling punch! But of course, both are finger-licking good 😉

As you can tell from my dark eye circles and eye bags. I’m sooo drained and tired. Was a crazy workaholic the whole month and I barely had time/energy for anything else. Mostly spent my free time re-reading Harry Potter… at 3am. So that’s not really helping either.

These wings were a good perk-me-up actually. Go try them for yourselves!

Simply upload an Instagram photo or video of yourself (you can say ‘oishii!’ or ‘mashisoyo!’) and let us know which flavour your allegiance lies with.  Hashtag #kfcoishii to support the Umadare flavour or #kfcmashisoyo to support the Yang Yeum flavour.

I’ve picked my side and now it’s your turn 😉

Henri Charpentier @ Dempsy Hill

Lunch with my cousins Pam and Diana two Thursdays ago (July 2). They let me choose between Dulcet & Studio and Henri Charpentier so I picked the latter because it looked sooo pretty from pictures online. The exterior was so pink and welcoming while the inside was so atas hahaha.

We are going to try Dulcet & Studio this Wednesday 😀

It’s the kind of place I wouldn’t mind sitting at for the whole day to chill. We were there from noon to about 5pm, swapping stories about travelling, our families, the past etc. Really nice (and rare) to have such a day of doing nothing but relaxing.

Some egg and tomato sandwich thing

Henri Charpentier caesar salad

Caesar salad

Skillet Herbed Chicken on Honey Glazed Sauce which was pretty good

Henri Charpentier chocolatine

Chocolatine. Nothing to shout about.

Henri Charpentier strawberry shortcake

Strawberry shortcake. Sooo light, soft and fluffy!! I couldn’t get enough of this.

Henri Charpentier iced royal milk tea

Royal Iced Milk Tea which is really ordinary and diluted. So not worth my $10.

Henri Charpentier Financiers Madeleines

Also got a box of Henri Charpentier’s signature Les Financiers and Les Madeleines for my family.

Les Financiers

$22 for 8 pieces but you can buy it for $2.90 per piece onwards. Not cheap but really delicious! They have loads more of other pretty pastries that you can bring home.

Les Madeleines

Okay actually the food there is mostly overpriced and the place itself is quite inaccessible. But the ambience is really lovely and that alone makes me want to come back to try the rest of the desserts, because that’s what they are famous for.

I can’t believe I was there and I didn’t try the Crepe Suzette (we had normal crepes and that’s all it was… normal) or the Dome!!! They look really popular but I was too full for more.

It’s a super photogenic place so you have the perfect excuse to get all dressed up and take a whole load of pictures. Why not try out the popular bohemian look? There are so many sophisticated outfits that you can create from Zalora’s products.

Love such dresses that I can effortlessly throw on and still look good + feel comfortable in.

Choose from a wide range of boots, wedges, pumps and sandals to go with your outfit.

And don’t forget to complete the look with a bag or some accessories 😉

Oh and look what my cousin Diana sent me. Guess who?!

Ok actually part of the reason why my cousins asked me out for lunch was because they were so worried after reading my blog. Which is why I disabled sharing the last few blog posts on Facebook.

I seem to be making people worry a lot lately. Heard that my colleagues had been so worried over the whole thing that someone actually suggested an intervention (luckily they dropped the idea lol)??? They are the only ones who know the whole story.

But doesn’t matter, it’s a closed chapter now. Sadly, I just have a habit of re-reading old books that I really like. Just because it’s over doesn’t mean I am over it. But don’t worry, I know I will be okay. One day I will be happy again and look back on how dumb this is but for now, it’s hard to control how I feel.

Logically, I really know everything including the cliche stuff like time heals everything / you deserve better / plenty of other fish in the sea etc. I know all of that already… just like how I knew from Day 1 it was all only going to end in tears (mine). From beginning to end, I was never delusional nor was I working towards the fairytale ending. Not even once.

For every single thing I did or decision I made throughout, whether good or bad, I had my own reasons. Out of all the many things I feel, guilt and regret aren’t even on the list. That’s all people need to know.
