Chulop! by The Syarifs launched in January 2019 as Singapore's distinctive snack bar specialising in churros with a Southeast Asian twist. This Muslim-owned establishment has successfully carved out its niche by transforming the Spanish classic into something uniquely local, incorporating regional flavours that resonate with Singaporean palates while maintaining halal certification.
The menu showcases innovative churros that go beyond traditional cinnamon sugar. Highlights include pandan-tinted churros that bring an emerald elegance to the presentation, paired with sticky-sweet gula Melaka dip that celebrates Malaysian heritage. The churros themselves are perfectly crunchy on the outside, while the accompanying milkshakes feature crispy feuilletine-textured vanilla for added complexity. These artisanal premium dips elevate the churro experience from simple snack to a thoughtful fusion creation.
Operating from two Singapore locations at 56 Haji Lane and East Village at 430 Upper Changi Road #01-59, Chulop! has created welcoming spaces where friends can gather over quality snacks and conversation. The business's success in Singapore led to regional expansion, with their first Kuala Lumpur outlet opening at The Exchange TRX. This growth demonstrates how Chulop!'s approach of respecting traditional churro techniques while boldly incorporating Southeast Asian flavours has resonated with customers seeking familiar comfort with a creative local twist.
