BAO is bringing its Taiwanese fast-food shop to New Bahru for seven weeks

The London team behind BAO tried a fast-food shop in Taipei this summer; Singapore is next.

BAO Fast Foods, or BFF, opens at New Bahru on Wednesday 11 November and stays until Monday 28 December. It is the fast-food and convenience-shop spin-off from BAO, the Taiwanese restaurant group that started in London, and it ran in Taipei in June before coming here. The brand calls the Singapore run a two-month “test lab”: it will serve, test and drop dishes and products as it goes, with a line-up of talks alongside.

The menu it has shown so far is built around fried chicken, the Chicken Chopper, twice crisped and done three ways: Original Crispy, Master Scalded and Flame Glazed. There is also a Beef Pastor Noodle, described as a new-age Taiwanese beef noodle soup, and a selection of Taiwanese teas. Prices haven’t been published yet.

It is open from 11am to 10.30pm, Wednesday to Monday, so closed on Tuesdays, at #01-10, 46 Kim Yam Road. Our advice: go in the first week, when the menu is newest and the queue hasn’t found it yet, and pick the Flame Glazed if you only try one skin.

Good to know New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road, #01-10, Singapore 239351. 11 November to 28 December 2026, Wednesday to Monday 11am–10.30pm (closed Tuesdays). Prices not yet published.
