Bun Times

Bun Times extends the Old Chang Kee heritage into a dedicated concept focused on authentic curry buns and assorted filled buns that honour the company Hainanese roots. MUIS halal-certified, this establishment operates at locations including FairPrice Hub in Joo Koon Circle, bringing traditional snacks to neighbourhood customers seeking quick, satisfying bites backed by certification and brand reputation.

The menu centres on curry buns that showcase the flavours made famous by parent company Old Chang Kee, alongside buns with various fillings that provide variety beyond the signature curry offering. Traditional snacks round out the selection, creating a focused menu that prioritises execution quality over extensive variety. The bun format offers portability and convenience for customers grabbing breakfast or snacks, with the soft bread exterior contrasting with flavourful fillings.

The Old Chang Kee connection provides immediate brand recognition and trust among Singaporeans who grew up with the curry puff icon, while Bun Times allows exploration of adjacent product categories without diluting the main brand identity. The MUIS certification ensures Muslim customers can confidently purchase, expanding the potential customer base beyond Old Chang Kee traditional demographic.

The FairPrice Hub location positions Bun Times within a major supermarket complex where shoppers naturally gather, creating built-in foot traffic that reduces marketing requirements compared to standalone locations. The strategy of placing heritage-inspired snack concepts within high-traffic retail environments reflects modern food retail thinking where convenience and brand trust matter more than elaborate dining experiences. For customers seeking reliable halal snacks with Singaporean heritage, Bun Times delivers familiar quality in an accessible format that accommodates busy lifestyles.
