Next up: Stuff'd!

We visited the Stuff'd flagship branch in Eastwood where a lot of residences and offices are. It was a rainy evening, and yet the restaurant was packed. Office workers, couples, and on-the-go individuals congregated in the modern-designed restaurant, each one enjoying his or her own Stuff'd meal.

Headquartered in Singapore, Stuff'd is a fresh casual Mexican-Turkish concept that was founded in 2014. Merging Al Pastor-styled burrito with Western-styled spit-grilled kebabs, Stuff’d has dominated both categories respectively, and expanded to become the largest Mexican-Turkish fresh casual chain in Singapore. Today, with close to 40 outlets in Singapore, Stuff’d is committed to creating tasty, great value and freshly prepared meals while bringing positivity to the Malaysian and Philippine market.

Metro.Style: How was the menu conceptualized? Is there a head chef who worked on it?

Stuff'd: Stuff’d was conceptualized to provide tasty, freshly-prepared, nutritious, customizable meals that would provide good value to our customers. The addition of the Grain Bowl to the menu was specifically catered for the Philippine market as we noted a strong demand for rice amongst Filipino customers. The brand continuously develop food options that Filipino customers will love and enjoy.

We believe that healthy eating should not come at the expense of flavor and variety. Hence, our focus has always been to develop great-tasting food options that customers can personalize or explore, so as to create a different taste experience every single time.
