It’s no secret that Singaporeans are suckers for Japanese snacks, whether it's Hokkaido’s famous Bake Cheese Tart or Snowsand’s chocolate sandwich cookies. But you can’t claim to have tried it all if you haven’t had a taste of Giraffa, Japan’s popular curry cheese bun from Kamakura. The chain recently opened in Westgate and is currently running a one-for-one deal for $5.60 for an unspecified period.
There’s just one thing on the menu: Giraffa’s famed curry cheese buns. The snack is so popular that it won the “Japanese Golden Award” for three consecutive years. Think of it as Japan’s version of curry puff, where curry and mozzarella cheese are encased in a lightly-breaded deep-fried milk bun.
Giraffa’s curry is blended using over 30 types of spices with bits of pork and beef added into the mix. The savoury filling is complemented by a subtle sweetness from the fluffy milk buns. Tear apart each piece for the money shot – a satisfying cheese pull accompanied by clouds of steam.

Giraffa is open daily from 11am to 10pm at 02-05A, Westgate, 3 Gateway Drive, Singapore 608532.
