Say Chiizu Review: BKK’s Stretchy Cheese Toast Finally Arrives In Singapore

Say Chiizu is one of these creative snacks that have garnered a following in Bangkok. While raclette cheese is now considered passé, the #cheesepull trend is still going strong here. So with the hype surrounding the opening of the Say Chiizu outlets, my colleague and I headed down to the one at 313@Somerset to check out this gorgeous lovechild of bread and cheese.

BKK’s Stretchy Cheese Toast Finally Arrives In Singapore | Say Chiizu Food at Say Chiizu There are only three flavours of cheese toast available at 313@Somerset, namely Original , Chocolate , and Charcoal , each going at $3.80 . The Hokkaido milk toasts came fresh from a hot pan, with the cheese filling spilling out from the top and the back.

It looked like each of the thick toast was sliced open from the top, and stuffed full to the brim with cheese that were made with one purpose in mind – to melt. The toast was crisp at the sides and fluffy in the centre, making it easy for us to break the bread apart to showcase the delicious stretch of white cheese. The blend of cheese is a powerful formula, as I was able to stretch it past the width of my shoulders, before the cheese threatened to fall onto my feet.

This is a combination that stood out; it was buttery sweet at first taste, then savoury upon chewing. When I asked about the blend of cheeses they use, they kept mum about it, only revealing how the addition of mozzarella provides that “killer” cheese pull. Trying the charcoal-flavoured toast, I could barely taste the difference between this and the original one.

The cheese pull was equally fun, and the bread was just as aromatic. The only difference I could find was how beautifully the dark slice contrasted against the white cheese, somewhat delighting my senses more, in terms of colour.

Ambience at Say Chiizu When we were there at 1pm, there was already a snaking queue formed by many office employees. They probably heard about the 1-for-1 opening promotion that starts at 1pm, and lasts till toasts are sold out. The remaining first day promotions would be available at White Sands Shopping Centre on 17 January, and The Clementi Mall on 18 January.

These two locations, including the one at 313@Somerset and VivoCity, are all takeaway kiosks. Cheese fans can look out for the opening of their cafe sometime in February this year. The verdict Say Chiizu’s cheese toasts can be an after-dinner indulgence or a snack to quell any cheese cravings.
