The Kettle Gourmet Popcorn

The Kettle Gourmet Popcorn

Forget about the usual boring old sweet or salty tubs of popcorn. Popcorn enthusiasts and/or people who just like finding the unorthodox (me) should try the popcorn made by The Kettle Gourmet! This homegrown start-up began as an accidental kitchen experiment in 2017 but grew to a local popcorn selling powerhouse.

Honestly did not know about them till I chanced upon their booth in this year's Artbox event held at The Grounds @ Kranji. Their booth features a wide variety of flavours they have to offer including their classic salted caramel, cookies & cream and Teh Tarik flavours; they also carry 3 savoury flavours including chicken rice, chilli crab & nasi lemak. After sampling a few flavours, I preferred the savoury flavours as they were slightly more unique and to my surprise, tasted like the actual savoury dish. Thereafter sampling I bought all the savoury flavours as they were selling 3 packs of 30 grams for 10 dollars.

Although sampled most of the flavours, I still could not pick a favourite flavour as all of them tasted really good, especially the savoury flavours. The best part is that they do not taste artificially flavoured like most local food flavoured snacks. The popcorn is also well coated with the flavour and not too overly powered so you won't get that 'jelak' feeling but also not too faint that you just taste the plain old popcorn.

The popcorn featured below is the chicken rice flavoured popcorn! Right after opening the pack, I was well-greeted by whiffs of chicken rice. Comments by my parents were mixed as my mum said that you could guess what flavour was it just by the smell but my dad said he would not know its chicken rice if I had not told him the flavour beforehand. But taste-wise was well received on both ends!
