KY eats – myNEWS Maru Kafe with Japanese Inspired Bakes and Ready-to-eat Meals

I remember way back when going to office was a thing, me and my colleagues would sometimes walk over to the myNEWS outlet at Avenue K and grab lunch, I remember one of my favorites being the spicy tuna sandwich.

Golden Egg Combo Sandwich, Salted Egg Chicken Onigirazu

Starting with something for the salted egg fans, there’s Salted Egg Chicken Onigirazu and Salted Egg Chicken pasta.

Onigirazu is something like a cross between an onigiri and a sandwich, and this version comes with a piece of fried chicken wrapped around with Japanese rice and of course, those delicious salted egg sauce.

The Golden Egg Combo Sandwich  is perfect for those who can’t decide if they want egg or chicken in their sandwich, so in this case, grab both!

Claypot Chicken and Mushroom Donburi, Salted Egg Chicken pasta

The Salted Egg Chicken pasta tastes best after heaving up in an oven for 1.5 minutes, almost-instant gratification.

For those who loves lor mai kai, the Claypot Chicken and Mushroom Donburi has a taste that is actually very close to it, which unsurprisingly, makes it one of their best-sellers. I think having with a bit of chili sauce may enhance the taste, but I liked it as is as well.

Strawberry and Mango Peach Croissants

Lastly, we also tried their strawberry and mango peach croissants, both may not look like your typical croissant but they do taste rather good! I popped them in toaster oven for about 3 minutes to warm up the pastry while keeping the sweet fruity fillings still slightly cold, giving it a nice contrast. Best served with coffee, which of course you can conveniently get from myNEWS as well.

Additionally, ice cream fans will be happy to know that the Maru Kafe also offers some delicious soft serve dessert in chocolate or mixed flavor
