Spoonful Meals Launches In Singapore

Spoonful Meals, now the largest cloud kitchen operator and delivery-only brand creator in Hong Kong, has launched in Singapore. With over 1,000,000 meals delivered to-date, Spoonful meals aims to provide consumers in Singapore with more choice, more convenience and more delicious food in the thriving delivery market.


"The success of the delivery model in Singapore suggests that the market is ready to withstand delivery-only brands. The whole food and dining culture is changing rapidly as consumers tastes get more sophisticated, yet they prioritise convenience. We are here to fulfil those needs by providing a large variety of delivery-only food brands which give top quality, genuinely tasty food delivered within 20 minutes, using our delivery partner Foodpanda's extensive network."
--- Rishi Arora, General Manager, Spoonful Meals Singapore ---

"We could not be more excited to launch in Singapore and bring our concepts to consumers across a variety of markets. We’ll be launching our corporate app by November and will continue to partner with Foodpanda locally for our direct to consumer business."
--- Max von Poelnitz, Founder of NOSH and Spoonful ---

Healthy sides available include NOSH's Toasted Pita with Baba Ghanoush Dip ($4.90), NOSH's Beetroot Quinoa Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese, and GA's Woodear Mushroom with Black Vinegar ($3.90)...
  • Even with after the waiting time for a food delivery, the Toasted Pita was fragrant with a mild garlic fragrance. Perfect with the rich Baba Ganoush eggplant dip.
  • The salad is a good mix of flavours with the tanginess of the beetroot was mellowed by the aroma of the walnuts and the savoury cheese cubes.
  • Although the initial taste was akin to a confinement dish, the crunchiness of the woodears made for an appetizing snack before the mains.
Spoonful Meals currently features two brands NOSH and GA, with 2 more brands, Sesami and JOMO, launching in November. Sesami will serve Japanese bento boxes while JOMO has a vegan fast food (think burgers and fries!) concept. With each brand offering a different type of cuisine, consumers are treated to a variety of food options to satisfy their immediate cravings. All meals are prepared and cooked in a cloud kitchen centralised to the delivery area, ensuring that food delivered is always fresh and timely.


GA's Chicken Leg (side) is of such a substantial size that it would be easily mistaken as a main...

NOSH

NOSH offers healthy California cuisine with its selection of burrito bowls, salads, crudites and vegetarian options. Some of the items on the menu include Grass-Fed Beef Burrito Bowl with Guacamole, Brown Rice and Coriander ($12.90), Miso Salmon Grain Bowl and Sugar Snap ($14.90) and Vegetarian Baba Ghannouj Quinoa Salad ($12.90). Each of these meals boasts a low calorie count of between 400-600 per serving and have been carefully curated with a high-protein with low-fat content; ideal for weight watchers and the health-conscious.

Grass Fed Beef Burrito Bowl with Guacamole, Brown Rice, and Cabbage ($12.90):
Although the brown rice was a tad dry, it was balanced by the tenderness of the beef and the guacamole. A wholesome choice at only 650 calories...

Overall, the California Series Miso Salmon Grain Bowl & Sugar Snap ($14.90) was more balanced with stir-fried peas and the medium-well doneness of the salmon fillet. The bright pink of the lotus root adds a spark of colour to the finish of the dish...

GA

The Cantonese brand, GA (家常), roughly translated to 'home-cooked', was designed by a team of Hong Kong based chefs with a focus on comfort food and affordability. It offers a selection of heart-warming Chinese favourites, mostly from about $8.00 per meal, reminiscent of Cantonese style comfort food like Sichuan Minced Beef with Sautéed Eggplant & Rice ($11.90), Slow-Cooked Chu Chow Beef Udon ($12.90) and Mongolian Cumin Pan-Fried Lamb with Baked Cauliflower and Rice ($8.90).

Steamed White Fish with Ginger Soy Sauce & Rice ($8.90):
Served with jasmine white rice and cabbage, the steamed sole fillet was masked with the healthy taste of ginger and sesame oil...

Slow Chiu-Chow Beef Udon Stir-Fry Vegetables ($12.90):
An interesting fusion dish pairing a Chiu-Chow style braised beef with Japanese udon, and tossed with a tasty onion and shitake mushroom mix...

Spoonful meals currently retail via the Foodpanda delivery platform. Corporate orders can be made via the Spoonful app, which will be officially launched in November.


About NOSH & Spoonful

With the completion of PLQ, the 22,000-strong workforce within a seven-minute walking radius of PLQ and one million residents in the trade area can now enjoy the 100,000 sq ft of green spaces across the precinct. PLQ also supports Singapore’s car-lite vision with its superb connectivity, with direct links to the dual-line Paya Lebar MRT interchange and seamless connection to the wider Park Connector Network.


"Today, we have before us a truly world-class example of what can be achieved when government and companies such as Lendlease partner with local communities to deliver game-changing urbanisation projects that will leave a positive legacy for the community for generations to come."
--- Steve McCann, Group CEO and MD, Lendlease ---

PLQ Workplace is now home to 18 multi-national corporations and leading Singapore organisations, including newly moved in UOB, Sabre Asia Pacific, Roche Singapore, Obayashi Singapore and Tokyo Electron Singapore. Lendlease’s inaugural flexible workplace solution, csuites, which combines the benefits of premier corporate offices with the advantages of shared services and collaborative spaces offered by co-working products, has received much interest from the market, and is set to welcome German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company Bayer later this year.


As the heart of a new lifestyle precinct and the social heart of the Paya Lebar community, PLQ is set to welcome even more sumptuous offerings across the development, with the opening of Maccha House, Joe & Dough, Hokey Poki, Donburi King, Makino, Western Mahua and Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen (halal-certified), together with experiential brands from Smigy, Zone X to Sing-My-Song Karaoke.


There are exciting retailers such as The Whisky Distillery, H&M, Mango, 6ixty8ight, iStudio and Laneige to look forward to. Living up to its vision of one place, many moments, PLQ Mall also offers a multi-layered experience for the community - from book exchange spots, quirky photobooths, Instagram-worthy backdrops, interactive activity/play areas and a Cine-Mini installation.


"We set out with a mission to create one of the best and most progressive places for Singapore with PLQ. Today, we are proud to say that we have achieved this mission with the support from the community, tenants and partners."
--- Tony Lombardo, CEO, Asia, Lendlease ---


As part of its Community Development Plan, PLQ has been actively engaging the community from the start of the project in 2015, including the conceptualisation of events and activities to be held at 100,000 sq ft of green public spaces in PLQ.


One initiative is an upcoming collaboration between PLQ, Health Promotion Board and anchor tenant Virgin Active to host complimentary health and wellness activities at PLQ to improve the health and well-being of residents as well as building a healthy and vibrant workplace community.

PLQ has also been engaging with schools in the area and is partnering a secondary school for the next three years to enable their students to learn about sustainability using PLQ as a case study. Other initiatives are also in the works, including the creation of an online portal to support sustainability education by schools.

On the employment front, PLQ previously partnered with Workforce Singapore for a job fair showcasing jobs at PLQ, bringing jobs closer to homes and enabling employment and upskilling.

From Friday 25 October to Monday 28 October, PLQ will play host to various celebration activities including performances by 53A, Supersonic and Sambiesta. Members of the public can also look forward to acts by renowned local acts like magician Danny Koh, caricaturist Welles Tan and Cyr Wheel performer Yang Shih Hao, with a nightly mass silent disco celebration.
