Taking the phrase “it’s a bit of a stretch” quite literally is Say Chiizu – the irresistibly Instagrammable Hokkaido-style cheese toast that has taken Thailand by storm with its ‘pull-factor’, and is now set to ‘pull’ in the fans from Singapore as well.
Proudly owned by Say Chiizu Pte Ltd in Singapore, the brand will open its first outlet on 15 January at VivoCity and Singaporeans can expect more stores dotted throughout the island in shopping malls such as White Sands Shopping Centre, 313@Somerset and The Clementi Mall in the first quarter 2018. Aside from takeaway kiosks, the brand will also be opening a café in central Singapore in February, this year. There are plans to open 10 outlets by the end of 2018.
A cut above the rest, Say Chiizu’s famous cheese is made with specially imported Japanese milk, thus resulting in a deliciously premium flavour. It is then mixed with a blend of fresh cheeses such as mozzarella to create the optimum texture for that unmistakable ‘cheese-pull’, while staying true to the brand’s emphasis on using ingredients with no additives or preservatives.
The brand’s commitment to making ‘your smile their happiness’ is evident in its ultra-stretchy cheese pull and bright cutesy package, modelled after one of the co-founders’ nickname ‘Bear’. Snugly wrapped in a ‘kawaii' (Japanese for ‘cute’) sunny yellow ‘bear’ sleeve with a smile made up of the Japanese words for ‘Say Chiizu’ the cheese is served between crisp slices of pillowy homemade Hokkaido milk toast while remaining invitingly melty within. Customers can expect a subtle savoury-sweet flavour in every bite that will satisfy all dairy cravings.

The flagship store presents a new destination for fans of Dr. Martens, the free-thinking individuals who are united by a relentless spirit of self-expression.
Spanning 1700 sq. ft, the new Capitol flagship stays true to its original British roots with fixtures and furnishing that evoke a classic British Shoe and Boot shop. It is also the first store to feature a 150 sq. ft stage. Future plans for the music stage include hosting intimate music gigs and interview sessions with independent bands, both international and home-grown.
Rare, archival photographs documenting the rich heritage of Dr. Martens and the youth movement are a highlight alongside a fully functional Dr. Martens jukebox. Classic Chesterfield wing chairs in rich burgundy leather are reminiscent of those found in the 1940s podiatry office of Dr. Klaus Maertens’ – the inventor of the revolutionary air-cushioned sole.
A section is dedicated to Dr. Martens Kids footwear for infants (1–18 months) and juniors (2–7 years old) , showcasing collections that retain all the classic attributes of the original and well-known brand silhouettes in miniature versions; while another section is dedicated to the handcrafted quality and traditional shoe-making techniques of Dr. Martens’ premium “Made In England” range. Still manufactured in the original Cobbs Lane factory in Wollaston, England – this is the home of the original Dr. Martens boot – and within this small factory works a close-knit team of people schooled in traditional shoe-making that distinguishes the premium and luxurious “Made In England” range.
The Dr. Martens brand heritage is steeped in underground subcultures and their style tribes. From the early skinhead, a multi-cultural ska-loving homage to the British working classes, to punks, hardcore, psychobilly, Britpop, emo, and many others from a long list of subtribes – music is Dr. Martens’ cultural lynchpin. The new flagship store pays tribute to this legacy with a 150sq. ft. stage – a platform that will continue to cater to and foster the music communities that have been so integral to the Dr. Martens brand heritage. Future plans for the in-store music stage include hosting intimate music gigs and interview sessions with independent bands, both international and home-grown.
As with all Dr. Martens’ stores in other major cities, such as New York SoHo and London Covent Garden, the Capitol Piazza flagship store offers a unique Dr. Martens experience by combining brand heritage, emblems of its music and subcultures lineage with the art of industrial manufacture.
