Beef Rendang, Roast Chicken Rice, Chicken Satay
Jamie K.

Always a 10/10 for me and brings me back to my time spent in Singapore. Authentic and personal -- this truly feels like a family meal brought over from an SG home. The beef rendang, satay, and bkt are regular rotation for me especially during the cold Toronto days! Self serve for the most part but still feels so intimate and welcoming

Kiss My Pans is a Singaporean self-serve style eatery. They do not take reservations and require all members of the party to be seated. They have instructions at the entrance to wait at the door until seated, then order at the counter, pay, and grab your utentils. The server will call you when the food is ready so you can pick it up at the counter. Despite some people leaving poor reviews for this, I actually love this type of cafe/eatery style service! The decor is super cute, and everything on the menu looks good. I had the Laksa noodles and my friend ordered the beef rendeng. The rendang was soft and easy to tear apart. But the Laksa was outstanding, with a very flavourful broth. The tofu puffs in it act as sponges to soak up all the liquid and become a flavour bomb. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping by and trying some Singaporean food!

Came at 12:49 PM on a Saturday and there was no wait. Place filled up quickly, though. I tried the roti prata with curry chicken, which was amazing, and the beef rendang, which was also great. Kuih is a must, too!

Went on a Monday afternoon and there was still a 30 plus minute wait! Wouldn't mind waiting considering how amazing the food is. The beef rendang was so tender and flavourful, my fav was the carrot cake! The chicken rice could have been more fragrant imo, as a Malaysian, this Singaporean place is pretty good lah! Loved the coffee shop (aka kopitiam) kind of ambiance, IYKYK !

The food was delicious but a tad on the pricier end for the portion size. We were a party of 3, and shared three dishes, which was sufficient for us, but may not be enough food for others. The laksa was okay- it made me miss the ones from Singapore that had deeper flavours.

My sister and I LOVE Singporean food (it really is the best)! We were super excited to check out kiss my pans. We got the carrot cake and it is SOOOO DELICIOUS. It actually is not carrot cake but it is turnip and rice flour. It is the perfect blend of flavours and it is the perfect dish to get if your craving something a bit salty. We also got their Singaporean breakfast which was their runny eggs with kaya toast, and kopi. It was super delicious and I would recommend it. The service is amazing the couple that owns the restaurant are the sweetest. The restaurant itself is adorable and the restrooms are super clean! I will be back to try more from the menu!

It was my buddy and i first time. We came for brunch and was blown away. He had the roast chicken with rice and I had the laksa. The bowl of laksa was bursting with flavor.. it actually punch me in the throat with how much flavor it was...so good. I tried a piece of my buddy roast chicken I kid you not the skin was so good!!!. We also shared the chicken skewers and they were amazing with the sauce that it was paired with. My overall experience this place is a gem the owners are super sweet and the few minutes I got to speak with them was the icing on the cake.

This place is the BEST. The owners are super nice and the Singaporean brunch is unmatched in downtown Toronto! Get the Tingkat Trio, the Nasi Goreng, the Char Kway Teow, and two dessserts -- PERFECT brunch for 4 right there, along with a Milo dinosaur, a Ribena drink, and some kopi too. Love the vibe in here-- cheerful, unpretentious, and so colourful. They have a shop for you to buy chocolate, Singaporean merch, and cheese, too-- don't forget to go home with some wonderful cheese because these guys used to run a cheese shop, after all!

Kiss My Pans started out as a cheese shop with a few Singaporean food offered occasionally. There was so much support for their Singaporean food that it became regularly offered. Now that they have moved their operations to a new location with a fill kitchen in the back and lots of indoor seating, they can now offer an expanded menu every day! The owners, Jeanne and David, worked the front of the restaurant with excellent customer service. You place your order at the order counter, and they will bring out the food to your table. We were there on 2023-11-04 and ordered the following: 1. Kopi ($4.80) x 2. 2. Milo Dinasour with a heap of Milo Powder ($5.00). 3. Tingkat Trio ($25.00). This came with Ngoh Hiang, Har Cheong Gai, and Tauhu Goreng. 4. Hokkien Mee ($22.00) with a side of Sambal ($2.00). 5. Roti Prata with Curry Chicken ($24.00). Kopi is the southeast Asian adaptation of coffee. The main version of Kopi is made with Condensed Milk and Evaporated Milk. There are variations of this Kopi, offered at this restaurant: Kopi C, Kopi O, and Kopi O Kosong. We had the pure Kopi, and it was good. Milo is a favourite drink in Singapore, especially among children. I like it, since I'm a big kid at heart. The Tingkat Trio is like an appetizer meant for sharing. The top layer contains a sweet soya sauce for dipping with the Ngoh Hiang (in the second layer), which is shrimp, pork, and water chestnut rolls wrapped in bean curd skin. The third layer has Tauhu Goreng, which is deep tofu, bean sprout, and shredded cucumber, in a spicy peanut sauce. Goreng means fried. The fourth and bottom layer has the Har Cheong Gai, which is shrimp paste marinated crispy wings and legs. It was definitely crispy and tasty. The Curry Chicken had a very tasty curry surrounding the succulent chicken. You usually dip the Roti Prata into the curry. Roti Prata is the Singaporean name for Roti Canai in Malaysia. This is the Malay adaptation of the Indian Paratha Roti. There is a whole cabinet that contains glasses for you to get your own water. The restaurant is decorated with Singaporean memorabilia and items for sale. This location soft-opened on 2023-11-03 to 05. The grand opening will be on 2023-11-10. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible (there is one step at the entrance). There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, hence they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-363

Had a lovely time at Kiss My Pans new location! I had tried some of their food (beef rendang and savoury carrot cake) from past food festivals and pop-ups. I recently came at peak lunch hour on a Saturday, so a queue was expected. Luckily it was sunny out, and our table of 2 was fine waiting outside. (Shop and dining area is lean so there's no space to wait inside.) After a 30 min wait, we were called inside. Owners are very warm and welcoming. David helped explain how things worked (it was our first visit) and we quickly ordered at the counter and paid, and then sit at our table waiting for our hot meal. After you order, you get served baked goods first -- as that is served at the counter. Soon, my Kopi C with oat milk followed -- which was so smooth and delicious with my Kueh Bakar! Shortly, our hot food items were ready and we grabbed our trays from the counter. The beautiful Tingkat Trio was as tasty as it was gorgeous! Each dish (Har Cheong Gai, Ngoh Hiang, and Tauhu Goreng) are unique flavour bombs and such a delight of different taste and textures. We also got the Roasted Chicken Rice which was a comforting dish, reminicent of Hainanese Chicken for me but with crispy skin. I also took home a Kaya Croissant -- and it made a great part of my breakfast the next day. Really enjoyed all the food -- which is incredibly hard to find similar -- and was happy to support local small business. Looking forward to try other items on the menu!

Kiss My Pans, located on College St at Manning Ave., is a cheese shop that is owned by a lovely couple, Jeanne and David. I believe Jeanne lived in Singapore for a while before she moved back to Toronto. The shop also has Singaporean brunch available from Sat to Mon in a fast casual atmosphere. The store also has a variety of unique items (mainly food related) that you can pick up as well. They also have boxes and platters you can preorder for pick up as well. I've heard of Kiss My Pans for the longest time now and was able to try some of their delicious Singaporean desserts at a food popup last year. However, I finally had the chance to visit to try their brunch. Upon entering you drawn to the space with many items. I ordered my food and drink at the counter and took a seat. I opted for the nasi lemak with otak otak (coconut rice, spicy coconut fish grilled in banana leaf, Sambal, spiced peanut, and ikan bills (anchovy), egg, and cucumber as well as a kopi. Decided to get a kueh salat as well for dessert. My food was made at a reasonable time and the nasi lemak was delicious! Definitely a hearty and filling dish that is spicy as well. I don't think there is any wrong way to eat this dish but the different flavor combinations and textures are unique. It is quite spicy so if you aren't able to handle spice it is better to likely order something else. The cup of kopi was warm and inviting. The kueh salat was a great finish to the meal. Overall, great food and super friendly service. The space and all the little things in the shop reminded me of my travels to Singapore. Definitely will be returning to try the kaya toast and eggs as well as the chicken satay!

Are you looking for something new to try? Give KMP a try...authentic Singaporean food served on the Sat, Sun and Mon. only. Came here today for the first time to try their Singaporean breakfast which is soft-cooked eggs in soya sauce with Kaya (coconut jam) toast and Kopi (Singapore coffee). We came here specifically for Kaya toast and we were not disappointed. It was really tasty and I really enjoyed the rich Singapore coffee blended with evaporated and condensed milk. We also got the fried carrot cake in black sweet and savoury flavour to finish off! We throughly enjoyed our breakfast here and we will definitely be back to try their other Singaporean dishes like Beef Rendang or Curry Chicken.

Growing up in Asia made me miss some of the singaporean goodies I used to eat during my travels then. Finding this kopitiam was a little happy dance moment. The iced kopi and kaya toast tasted like how i remembered :) Though tasted different, the nasi lemak was good for when you miss nasi lemak. Their sambal is tasty and full of umami, and most importantly its got the proper spiciness! We ordered from the counter inside and paid before sitting down, typical of asian food stalls. The short counter interaction was pleasant, he helped us decide on some things we were unsure of patiently.

Sanagan's Meat Locker is not just a Butchery, but also a market that showcases many high quality artisanal and local products.

If you subscribe to their newsletter, or buy Peter Sanagan's book, you learn so much about what cuts of meat to use with what types of dishes, you discover hidden gems in cuts of meat, not to mention fantastic recipes. I had never heard of flat iron steaks (one of the most tender cuts of beef and very affordable) before Sanagan's and now it's a staple in my household. You are also able to order cuts of meat that are not available at the counter (I ordered duck hearts once) as well as order ahead online. The housemade sauces and charcuterie made by Sanagan's are also delicious. They might be slightly higher priced than supermarket brands, but they're highly worth it. Everyone is also super friendly and helpful at Sanagan's, you just know that they're being treated well there.

They come in mozzerella, provalone, cheddar and a few others. Mendels also does a good deal on stilton. If you buy it off of the wheel it's $5.99/100g But you get two 100g wedges prepaked for $6 flat. Half the price. They used to have $5/lb brie that came in big squares. I would stuff it with fruit and bake it. Cheap and fancy. Global, as far as I know, doesn;t sell large tubs of anchovies, but Mendels does. The giants tubs are $19.99, which I think cuts the price in half of the tiny ones that are $7.99. All in all, the cheapest in the market with a fine selection. The selection isn;t as big as at Global, and there are fewer of the fancy-smancy $14.99/100g seasonal tombes, etc, that you can get from Cheese Magic, but that's fine by me cause I rarely ever get those things.

I have been attracted to their prices for cheese, but find that the perceived value is not actual. I suspected this for a while, but only gave in to confirming my suspicions after I acquired a calibrated digital scale. I weighed the cheese at home and found that on my last 3 purchases, I have been short-changed. The first time, I thought it might be a mistake, but this shortfall has been consistent. On my last [now final] visit, I asked for some of their "crumbled feta" and received a tub of cubed feta that was mostly brine. Yes, the whole weight *almost* reflected the quoted price, but paying 88 cents per hundred grams for mostly salty water guarantees that I will be shopping elsewhere from now on.

You can't go wrong with any of their premium flavours. Each one of them is tuned to perfection, with an emphasis on Asian flavours. I always feel like a kid in a candy store here. Perhaps it's because of the colourful display from the moment you step inside, or the seemingly endless list of flavours on the wall staring back at you, or maybe it's because the moment you swing open the door, a friendly storeowner readily appears at your service? Hm... what will I have today? Pro tip: as the store owner would tell you, wait a few min for the ice cream sandwich to thaw before biting in. About 5 min is good and enough time to take Yelp pics. The only unfortunate thing for me is that they're downtown and I'm uptown! Regardless, I always make an effort to drop by whenever I can. Their opening hours are not too friendly though... But I guess you can say that adds to their appeal. This little shop could really use more publicity. I believe we have to get more people eating macaron ice cream sandwiches this summer. I highly recommend!!!
