Giraffa: Japan-Famous Curry Bun Chain Opens At Westgate

Giraffa opens in Singapore with famous curry buns

If you frequent Westgate, you may have come across Giraffaā€˜s hoarding on Level 2 of the mall. The Japan-famous curry bun chain has officially opened in Singapore at the Jurong East shopping centre!

For the uninitiated, Giraffa is a popular kiosk in Kamakura, Japan. The brand is known for their deep-fried cheese curry buns, said to be crispy on the outside with a stretchy, cheesy curry middle.

Fun fact: Giraffa translates to giraffe in Italian. According to their website, the brand chose this name in hopes that their curry bread would be something customers ā€œeagerly wait for with bated necks, just like a giraffe with a long neckā€. Their famous Giraffa Curry Bread costs $5.60 at this new Singapore outpost. In Japan, it goes for 450Ā„, or S$3.90.

You get a milk bun thatā€™s lightly breaded and deep-fried till crispy on the outside, generously loaded with a cheese and meat curry mix. The umami-packed curry, which comes with bits of pork and beef, is made with a whopping total of 30 spices, including cumin and turmeric. According to Giraffaā€™s website, the curry is also prepared with honey, apples, tomatoes, and wine.

The sweet and fluffy milk bread complements the savoury and meaty curry, while the stretchy mozzarella adds a layer of richness and tang. Make sure you get your phone ready for the ultimate cheese pull shot!

While youā€™re there, check out Scarlett Supermarketā€˜s largest store, also located at Westgate. Thereā€™s also Bingz, known for their crispy Chinese burgers, at the same mall.

Address: 3 Gateway Drive, #02-05, Westgate, Singapore 608532
