Barbary Coast Offering Food, Drinks and Late-Night Industry Supper for Takeaway or Delivery

Singapore, 20 April 2020 – In response to Singapore’s Circuit Breaker measures, dual-concept Barbary Coast has rolled out a menu of food and drinks for takeaway and delivery.  In addition, Barbary Coast also continues to provide its complimentary late-night industry Supper for takeaway or delivery to support the local hospitality community in their time of need.

The food menu offers an array of comfort food dishes from Deadfall alongside the famous Cheese & Charcuterie board from Barbary Coast Ballroom (Petite for S$48 / Less Petite for S$96 / Le Grande Dame for S$144). Snacks include the zesty Jalapeno Poppers with house cream cheese, chives and smoked tartar (S$9), the cool and refreshing Peanut Hummus with cruditĂ©, house pickles, za’atar and chef’s pita (S$12), or the Lamb Rellenas with house merguez sausage, potato smash, coriander zhoug and pickled onions (S$12). Mains are also featured such as the light yet filling Red Snapper Ceviche comprised of fresh red snapper, house Tiger’s Milk, romaine lettuce, red onion, mango and fried plantains (S$14), the hearty TTW Sando with a selection of smoked ham or beef pastrami on a tater tot waffle sandwich with chef’s sauerkraut, smoky cheddar and salsa roja (S$15) and the decadent DF Grilled Cheese with fermented heirloom tomato jam, house-smoked butter and four kinds of cheese (S$12).

Food items are complemented by five cocktails from Barbary Coast Ballroom, available in 375 ml bottles. With every bottle offering 3 to 4 serves, most of the standard servings roughly cost between S$12 to S$17 per drink. Available bottled drinks range from the rich and bubbly Buttered Paloma with Carbonated Brown Butter Arquitecto Blanco Tequila, Clarified Grapefruit and Clarified Lime (S$45) and the easy-drinking Tea & Raspberry with Cream with Beefeater Gin, Botanist Gin, Plantation Dark Rum, Red Raspberry Leaf Clarified Cream, Tea, and Raspberry Citrus (S$50), to more spirit-forward options such as the Passepartout with Hendrick’s Orbium, Yarrow Flower Noilly Prat and Pau d’Arco Bark (S$55).

Custom catering and special off-menu items are also available with additional advanced notice and a deposit.

Barbary Coast has also extended its popular late-night industry Supper, with takeaway and home or bar delivery every Monday through Saturday from 8 pm. Initially conceptualised as a way to share an end of shift meal at cost with Singapore food and beverage industry comrades, the Supper initiative quickly gained traction within the industry as more and more people came forward to with donations for those in need of a warm meal. Plates were initially priced at cost (S$7 NETT), however generous contributions from private donors have been pledged to cover more than 1,000 plates since the launch, with more than 200 plates served to date. Once the Circuit Breaker measures were introduced, Barbary Coast pivoted to offer meals for takeaway or delivery earlier in the evening based on popular demand. Anyone industry-wide is welcome to reserve their plate from 2:30 pm onwards, and no one will ever be given a bill or be asked to pay – though guests in a position to pay it forward are encouraged to do so.

KK Super Mart, myNEWS.com fill the bread shortage with own-brand option

In Malaysia, bread has suddenly become a much sought after food during the stay-at-home period. The out-of-stock situation has become so serious that required retailers to impose a limit on the number of bread one can purchase.

Gardenia, the country’s largest bread maker, has increased production by 5% compared to before the movement control order (MCO) was enforced, raising the total production to 2.2 million loaves a day. However, this is not enough to meet the surge in demand.

Gardenia Bakeries (KL) Sdn Bhd General manager Desmond Tan said “we wish to inform that at this time the bread production at Gardenia factories has reached the maximum level. Therefore, we are not able to add on the supplies of our products in the market.”

The inability of the country’s two largest bread companies Gardenia and The Italian Baker (Massimo) to fulfill additional consumer demand has opened up opportunities for convenience store to promote their own-branded bread.

KK Super Mart said it has made available KK White Sandwich Loaf (Freshly) Bread at RM 3.90 per loaf at selected stores. Click here for the list of participating outlets.

myNEWS.com, meanwhile, has launched a 1KG sandwich loaf white bread at RM 6.90. Click here for the list of participating outlets. The myNEWS.com sandwich loaf bread is made by Sunderland Bakery Sdn Bhd.

The COVID-19 situation has opened up a window of opportunity to convenience store own-branded bread. Whether consumers will switch to retailer-own branded bread post COVID-19 remains to be seen but at least consumers now have more options beyond the branded ones.

Cook and enjoy Potato Corner fries at home

During this crisis, Potato Corner has recruited a team of “Special Forces” numbering around 200 with the figure still growing strong. The new wave of entrepreneurs are helping to make Potato Corner authentic fries accessible to more consumers.

Potato Corner has partnered with Serenitea to sell its cook at home fries kit at two Serenitea outlets. It is recommended to pair it with a limited edition Serenitea DIY Home Kit for that fries + milk tea combination.

7-Eleven Philippines has limited-time take-home packs (updated)
