A month ago, we found out that Age.3 was coming to Singapore sometime in November. The Japanese fried sandwich (sando) store, which has drawn queues of up to 2 hours at its Ginza outlet, first opened in 2023.
Since then, they’ve expanded to locations around the world and sold more than 1 million fried sandwiches. And now, their viral fried sandos have finally landed in our island city at ION Orchard.
We got to try some of Age.3’s popular items ahead of its opening on 13 November 2026, and let’s just say – we’re officially fans. The hype was definitely justified, especially as a bread lover myself! Keep reading to find out what we tasted and loved!
Age.3 is known for its golden-fried milk bread that is fried and filled to order. That hasn’t changed for its Singaporean outlet at B4 of ION Orchard. The result is fresh bread in your hands that is crisp on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside.
To me, the milk bread itself was consistently one of the best parts of Age.3’s sandos. The initial crunch and the softer texture that follows, combined with its delicately sweet, milky flavour and savoury richness from frying, make every bite really satisfying.
The fried milk bread, however, is only half the magic. The other half comes in the form of Savoury and Sweet fillings, of which there are 35 to choose from. We went for the brand’s most popular Crème Brûlée (S$7.80) and 2 other beloved flavours: Grilled Cheese with Smoked Salmon (S$9.80) and Ganache (S$7.80).
Crème Brûlée was definitely our favourite, with its custard whipped cream filling and flame-torched, caramelised sugar layer on top. The sweetness of the brittle, crunchy topping and smooth, rich filling complements so well with the toasty notes of the milk bread.
This is a flawed comparison, but it reminded me of butter-sugar toast – on steroids. There’s no question why this item is number 1 on the menu.
The other sweet option we tried was Ganache. It tastes exactly how it looks – a chocolate lover’s dream. Inside, you’ll find a rich, indulgent chocolate cream. At the top, you’ll find another layer of chocolate powder and rich nama chocolate cubes.
This interesting flavour felt most like a dessert out of the 3 options we ordered. If you have a sweet tooth, this is for you.
If the Ganache Sando is the closest to a dessert, the Grilled Cheese with Smoked Salmon Sando is the closest to a small meal. We had zero regrets ordering this one. On top, there is smoked salmon, melted cheese, and avocado. But underneath, there is a hidden surprise – potato salad filling!
Every bite gives you a burst of flavour with a savoury punch, without being overwhelming. If you want something more substantial to fill your stomach, we highly recommend this one.
If you’re already convinced and want to try these fried sandos yourself, head down early. Beyond the potentially long queue, Age.3 will also be holding an opening promotion from 13 to 15 November 2026. The first 100 customers each day will get to purchase a Whipped Cream Sando for just S$1 instead of the usual S$4.80.
I’m definitely planning another trip down to Age.3 with friends soon, and trying other flavours next time I’m at ION Orchard. For a closer look at the delicious fried sandos, watch the video below:
