First dibs: SIDES, founded by KSI & other UK YouTubers, brings its fried chicken to Bugis+
SIDES is a UK fast food joint with 5 outlets located in places like Essex, Manchester, and Wembley. If you've been to England and were obsessed with their crispy fried chicken, brace yourselves! They'll be opening their first international branch, SIDES Singapore on at + on 5 Jun 2025.
SIDES was founded by popular YouTuber and boxer KSI and 6 other friends, also known as Sidemen, who have over a whopping 22 million subscribers! To be completely honest, I don't know who most of them are — though I do recall KSI making an appearance as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent. The fast food chain is known for its spicy, hot fried chicken, tantalising sides, unique sauces and milkshakes.
We got a sneak peek of SIDES SINGAPORE, conveniently located right next to Paco FunWorld on Level 3. The restaurant has a clean futuristic-industrial look with booth seats, white tiles and bluish neon lights.
We started off with the Classic Burger (S$12.50) and Ultimate Nashville Burger (S$12.90). They were huge by the way… think Carl's Jr-sized! There was no way I could fit any of the burgers into my mouth without giving them a slight squish first.
The Classic Burger has a thick slab of Nashville fried chicken, topped with sliced pickles, tomatoes, and slathered with secret sauce. The meat is doubled dipped and double coated, which explains the extra crispiness. That said, if you're not a fan of breast meat, it can start to feel a bit too much and a little in-your-face after a while.
The secret sauce is intriguing and has a multi-layered flavour. It reminded me of a mixture or tartar and Thousand Island — tangy and sharp.
For the Ultimate Nashville Burger, you'll be able to choose the heat level — from 0 to 3! Like the Classic, it also has a thick chunk of golden-fried chicken breast, complemented by coleslaw and sliced tomatoes. We selected Level 1 (Nashville Mild) which just had a light tinge of spice. Taste-wise, this was our favourite.
If chicken tenders are your jam, the Nashville Tender is a must-try! You can get the 4 Piece Tenders Meal with Waffle Fries (S$16.50), that also comes with 2 sauces and a drink.
The tenders are delightfully crunchy on the outside, while managing to stay moist and tender on the inside.
We chose the HOTTEST option — Level 3 (Nashville Hot). The heat was a slow burn, hiding its fiery heat even after the first mouthful. However, after subsequent bites, the spiciness builds and was relentless. I didn't feel the need to reach for a cold glass of milk, so it really wasn't that intense!
There are also sides like Corn Ribs (S$4), Chilli Poppers (S$4), and Mac & Cheese (S$4).
The best part about my visit to SIDES Singapore was taste testing all 9 of its sauces. Though each of them had its unique identity, the ones that stood out to me were the Buttermilk Ranch, Nashville Cheese, Garlic Mayo and Chocolate Barbeque.
My least favourite was the X|X Buffalo, which had notes of red Tabasco sauce that didn't resonate with me.
Don't forget to try the milkshakes to wash it all down like the Vanilla Marshmallow, Salted Caramel and Chocolate Brownie (S$9.90 each).
Head over to Bugis+ for a taste of Britain's fast food royalty. Brave the queues during peak hype or wait till things calm down — the choice is yours!

(NASDAQ:FUFU) with a Market Perform rating and a price target of $5.50, implying an upside of 72.69%. According to the firm, the company's cloud mining solutions assist in eliminating the common barriers associated with cryptocurrency mining, especially high initial costs and technical challenges. BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) recently secured initial funding from Bitmain, a prominent player in the cryptocurrency mining hardware business. As long as the company effectively maintains the strategic partnership with Bitmain, particularly in the cloud mining segment, we have good reason to believe that FUFU will be driven beyond its current market average multiple. The cloud mining business is a growth catalyst for BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU), with registered users nearly doubling YoY to over 607,000, pointing towards growing retail demand. This rise was reported at a time when the total hash rate and power capacity steeply declined. Despite the infrastructure lag, the company posted impressive results that speak volumes about the small-cap company's business model and market position. BitFuFu Inc. (NASDAQ:FUFU) is a Singapore-based provider of digital asset mining solutions in Singapore, North America, Asia, and Europe. The company's core offerings include cloud-mining services and miner hosting services for both individual and institutional digital asset enthusiasts. Incorporated in 2020, the company aims to make Bitcoin accessible to all. While we acknowledge the potential of FUFU as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
