Jinjja Chicken 진짜치킨 + Toast Box, Singapore
Following the uprising trend of Korean fried chicken in this little red dot, a new place called Jinjja Chicken has opened its door to public. It is located at Bugis+, a mall next to Bugis Street. The dining system is exactly like 4 Fingers whereby order, payment and collection processes are done at the counter.
Jinjja Wings (6 pcs - Mix) - $7.90
The wings come in options of 6, 12 and 18 pieces. Alternatively, you can top up $2.50 like what I did to make it a set meal with soft drink and fries. There are 2 flavors to choose: soy garlic and yangnyeom (spicy). I decided to go with both (mix). Soy garlic had white sesame seeds on top while yangnyeom had black sesame seeds. The soy garlic sauce tasted nice with right saltiness. The yangnyeom was not as spicy as I thought - it was milder than 4 Fingers' spicy wings which means I still could enjoy it haha.
Left: Jinjja Drumsticks (6 pcs - Mix) - $16.90
I like that the drumstick was not too oily. However, I think the sauce was kinda lacking, causing the meat to be somewhat tasteless and dry.
Middle: Jjajang Bap with Chicken Cutlet - $9.90
I did not try this one. But if you have ever tried jjajangmyeon (black bean paste noodle), it tasted like jjajangmyeon with rice substituting the noodle plus an additional piece of chicken cutlet.
Jinjja daebak! I would recommend this place for affordable Korean fried chicken in Singapore. It's a good option if you get bored with 4Fingers, and especially if you happen to be in Bugis area. The place is not very big but I felt comfortable eating here with Korean MVs played on TV screens lol.

Toast Box is the place I always go to when I crave for kaya toast. I patronize this place quite a number of times to have quick breakfast before school starts. They open early in the morning, but the patrons there are early as well. This time, I went to their outlet at Chinatown Point - not for breakfast, but for some post-lunch snack.
Set 2 - $4.90
The kaya toast came very late, by the time it came I had almost finished my eggs haha. As usual, the kaya toast was satisfying. The butter and kaya just complimented each other very well.

Left: Kaya Thick Toast - $2.30
If you want something more filling, you should try Toast Box's thick toast. It is also easier to gobble using the wooden pick since they slice it equally in cubical shape. The kaya jam was generous, nothing to complain.
Right-back: Cold Lemon Grass Lime Tea - $4.20
It was refreshing and not too sour.
Right-front: Cold Teh C - $3.20
This is my repeated order here haha, or what I usually call 'teh si beng'. Teh C itself means tea with evaporated milk and sugar. The drink was also refreshing and thick enough.
Hot Teh-C - $2.80
Alternatively, you can have the hot version at cheaper price.
Multigrain Kaya Toast - $2
The toast had a crispy texture and generous spread of kaya jam. Overall, Toast Box is the right place when you need to have breakfast on-the-go. The price is higher than in hawker centre or food court though.
The food and beverages here may not be the cheapest, but if you are craving local breakfast food, perhaps you can give Toast Box a try. Moreover, the seating space here is considered small as most tables and chairs are squeezed extremely close to each other. Nevertheless, I would certainly recommend Toast Box to everyone looking for local snacks with a taste of Singapore's heritage.
