OATSIDE New Matcha Oat Latte in Singapore
Singapore oat milk brand OATSIDE has launched its new matcha oat latte. The ready-to-drink beverage contains 3,750mg of real matcha and 20mg of L-Theanine in each 250ml pack.
The new OATSIDE Matcha is available exclusively at FairPrice outlets, fairprice.com.sg and shop.oatside.com. The company plans to expand to other major retailers in August. The drink is plant-based and lactose-free. It contains low saturated fats and no gums or emulsifiers. The product meets Nutri-Grade B guidelines.
The launch comes as Singapore faces high stress levels and sleep challenges. Health surveys rank Singaporeans among the most sleep-deprived populations worldwide.
Matcha has gained popularity globally for its clean energy benefits. In Southeast Asia, demand for better-for-you beverages continues to grow, with matcha leading the clean energy category. L-Theanine is a natural component found in matcha tea leaves. Research shows it may support alertness and promote relaxation. Studies suggest the combination of caffeine and L-Theanine in green tea can reduce anxiety and improve brain function.

Irish Peking Duck Takes Centre Stage at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant
Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant has launched a new set menu featuring its signature Roast Irish Peking Duck, priced from $118.80++ per person. This limited-time menu combines traditional Cantonese cooking methods with premium ingredients like Irish duck and African abalone.
The restaurant’s take on this classic dish uses premium Irish duck, which is air-dried overnight to create its crispy skin before roasting. Served with warm Chinese crêpes, the duck comes with a signature sauce that has been perfected over 15 years.
The set menu showcases the versatility of the duck through several dishes. After enjoying the crispy skin wrapped in soft pancakes, diners can taste the meat in two additional preparations. One standout dish is the Braised African 5-Head Abalone with Irish Duck Meat, featuring diced vegetables and crispy conpoy in wok-fried Japanese pearl rice. The duck also appears in a Szechuan Hot and Sour Soup with assorted dried seafood, where the meat adds depth to a creamy broth simmered for over four hours.
