Garrett Popcorn Shops

Garrett has hit our singapore shores, the popcorn scene in singapore is never the same again.
Once I tried Garrett Gourmet Popcorn, I am not going back to the others. I love their Chicago Mix which consist of Carmel and Cheese popcorn. They have the slightly more expensive one which I like, Macadamia nut version, but its usually out of stock.
Great popcorns but expensive. If only they could make it cheaper, that would have been better

I always walk past the Garrett Popcorn shops and get attracted by the strong whiff of sugary aroma that’s threatening to engulf your senses. I’ve never bought it because I was too cheapo (it was overpriced for popcorn and besides, I wasn’t watching a movie), until one fine day, my colleague brought it to the office. And of all flavours, she bought the Caramel Crisp.
If you like the Cathay Cineplexes’ sweet popcorn, this will be the intense version. It is hard-​crunching brown sugar contained with caramel and butter in every bite. You can really feel the back of your teeth working it. It made me feel like a horse for awhile, because I read somewhere that horses like chewing on sugar cubes. Needless to say, I was hooked from then on.
The packaging comes in a paper bag, be careful to store it in air-​tight containers if you’re leaving it overnight. There are other flavours on sale, including the plain popcorn. But since you’re already buying Garrett, it’ll be a sin to buy it without the tantalizing flavours.

Garretts first caught my attention when they opened their first stall in Resorts World Sentosa amidst much free samples and loud music blaring from their speakers. First impressions was that ‘meh — it’s just expensive popcorn’ and walked away. But the boyfriend bought us a tub for a movie night at home one night from the branch and City Hall, and we were hooked!
We got the most popular mix — Chigago Mix, which is 50% of caramelized and 50% of cheese popcorn. First off is how I loved their version of caramel — it isn’t those rock hard and over-​charred types from cinema kiosks, its warm, fluffy and soft! Their cheese is also great, with a generous powdering of cheese all over too. The mix of super sweet and super salty was probably not the greatest for my health, but was a great pick me up for my tastebuds!
Only 2 things is first how messy it gets and how your fingers are stained a gross yellow right after that lasts the whole night. And yep — still expensive popcorn.

I thought I can only apply the saying «once you pop, you can’t stop» with pringles. When I bought my very first Chicago Mix bag of Garetts, I definitely had to re-​think about the pringles concept.
My friend introduced me to sweet smelling treat. At first bite, it was heaven, second bite, I was inlove with the marriage of caramel and cheese, third bite, I just couldn’t stop putting my hand in the bag and popping a few in my mouth. And I’m not watching TV at that time. I had a feeling that I would feel sick at any time. Suprisingly, I didn’t I just kept on until the last few pieces. What I love about Garretts popcorn is that they are very inviting from the moment you get a whiff of their freshly popped popcorn. Also, their regular sized bag, it’s fit for two so I felt that I got to save a few bucks. Let’s just say when I pass by a Garretts stall, I never leave without a bag of their deliciously sinful popcorn.
This is definitely an indulgent snack. Not because of the price, but because of how much you can eat.
