It’s crispy, gooey, and bursting with savory goodness!

What’s something new to try in 2025? If you’re scouting for a snack to spice up your midday cravings, look no further. Introducing the renowned Japanese cheese-filled curry bun—a treat that’s been delighting palates across Japan and has now made its grand debut in Singapore.

Yes, you read that right. Joining the wide array of Japanese culinary delights on our sunny island is Giraffa, a celebrated curry cheese bun brand from Kamakura. This crispy, chewy, umami-packed delight promises to tantalize your taste buds and elevate your snack times.

Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Japanese Cheesy Curry Bun

It’s no surprise Giraffa has won the prestigious Japanese Golden Award three years in a row. One look at this bun—its perfectly breaded, deep-fried exterior paired with a cheesy, savory filling—and you’ll understand why it’s so loved. 

Imagine taking a bite of that crunchy and perfectly fried exterior, the rich, gooey cheese, and the warm, spiced curry filling—it’s a flavor explosion like no other! Well, no more daydreaming, actually, because Giraffa has finally opened its first-ever international location, setting up shop at Level 2 of Westgate Mall.

At the heart of Giraffa’s iconic buns is a filling that’s both indulgent and carefully crafted. Spiced curry, infused with the sweetness of honey and apples, gets a tangy lift from tomatoes and red wine. This aromatic curry is then combined with a savory mix of beef and pork, wrapped in gooey mozzarella cheese, and encased in a fluffy milk bun.

The bun itself? A lightly breaded, deep-fried milk bun that’s soft yet crispy. Together, the textures and flavors create an irresistible combo. Each bite delivers a fragrant, indulgent experience, thanks to the brand’s secret spice blend of 30 ingredients, including turmeric, coriander, and cumin. This carefully crafted recipe gives Giraffa its signature aroma and rich flavor profile.

The name “Giraffa” comes from the Italian word for giraffe, symbolizing the anticipation customers feel as they stretch their necks, eagerly waiting for these heavenly buns. A but fitting name for a snack that’s worth every second of the hype.

From the crunch of the exterior to the melt-in-your-mouth filling, it’s no wonder this snack has gone viral. And now, you don’t need a plane ticket to Japan to get your hands on it. Head over to Westgate Mall (3 Gateway Drive), where Giraffa is serving up its award-winning curry buns daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. 

So, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to Giraffa’s Curry Pan and join the legions of fans who can’t get enough. One bite, and you’ll understand why this snack has won hearts—and awards—around the world. Itadakimasu!
