Sinpopo has been our ease and comfort food items in the course of the peak of the pandemic.

Situated alongside Joo Chiat Highway, it has recently undergone a mini revamp. The when vibrant signage that resembles an outdated university Kopitiam had presented way to a extra sophisticated black and white design.

Sinpopo serves community dishes with a twist of their individual. Whilst the menu is not in depth, you would locate intriguing eats this kind of as Crab Beehoon, Angus Beef Biskery Rendang, chargrilled pork chop with apple chutney

SINPOPO Brand’s Signature Nasi Lemak $22

We love to head there only for their Nasi Lemak for 2. 

The old Nasi Lemak Platter

On our final pay a visit to, we ended up a minimal saddened that this possibility was no for a longer time readily available. As an alternative of a platter for 2, we were being delivered this plate of Nasi Lemak as an alternative.

The New Sinpopo Nasi Lemak

Even though the components seem very similar, it is now a portion for a single as an alternative of two sans a couple other aspect dishes. Presentation-sensible, we do find this considerably less visually interesting.  The Nasi Lemak arrives with har jeong kai wings, assma prawn, delicate-centred egg and ma extensive luncheon crisps. Though it nonetheless retains the flavour, at $22 for each plate, it is essentially fairly dear. Considering that this is a signature brand, it is a tad disappointing.

Satay Ayam $16

The subsequent meal was not our initially option. We needed to purchase Beef Bisket but it was astonishingly offered out inspite of us getting there before 7pm. Some other dishes had been bought out as properly. Offered that Sinpopo has only 10 principal dishes on the menu, it was a situation of Hobson’s option. 

The satay ayam was intended as a sharing for 2. It arrives with 6 skewers of flame grilled marinated rooster thigh. While they are larger than satays, this set would much more befitting for just one in its place of ‘perfect for sharing’ as written on the menu.

Pulut Hitam Cake

Whilst there are selections for desserts, we decided to go for the pulut hitam cake. The last time we tried it, it still left a lasting impression. This was maybe the saving grace for this food. If you are a fan of pulut hitam you would enjoy this!

Verdict

If you want a distinctive area encounter, Sinpopo could be your future location.

Individually, we like the old Sinpopo where it feels more relatives orientated. The variety of dishes for the new Sinpopo is somewhat restricted and may well not be suited to everyone’s flavor. When the key programs are a tad pricey, the desserts these as the cakes are well worth hoping.
