When I first heard about menbosha on a Korean variety show, I was intrigued. Celebrity chef Lee Yeon Bok of Please Take Care of My Refrigerator fame was demonstrating his take on this deep-fried shrimp toast with Cantonese origins, and I thought to myself: This looks easy enough. I should definitely try making it one day.
Well, I didn’t. But now I no longer have to, thanks to MenboLah!, a relatively new takeaway concept in Lavender putting their unique spin on menbosha.
MenboLah! operates out of a tiny drive-thru kiosk in CT Hub 2, ideal for a quick grab and go.
Mini menbosha
If you’ve never had menbosha, get started with a box of nine bite-sized Menbo Bites. Go for the Original (S$11.90), Garlic Butter (S$11.90), or Mentaiko Menbosha (S$12.90). You’ll get the most value (and variety) out of the Trio Box (S$11.90), which lets you sample three different flavours. Strawberry Cream Cheese Mochi (S$9.90), anyone?
Thick menbo toasties
MenboLah! has also jumped on the recent sando craze with their French Toast and Garlic Toast sandwiches. And yes, all of them are deep-fried.
Treat yourself to the indulgent Original Prawn French Toast (S$9.20), Chicken Cutlet French Toast (S$7.30), or Beef Bulgogi Garlic Toast (S$8.70). Don’t wait too long though — menbosha is best consumed fresh out of the fryer.
You have the option of ordering a Set Meal (from S$9.50) for all Menbo Bites and sandwiches, inclusive of a side and a drink. Alternatively, get the best of both worlds with a Variety Box (from S$10.90), consisting of one Garlic or French Toast and three Menbo Bites.

MenboLah is having a special 22% discount off your total bill for a limited time only, up till 31 March 2022. Do note that this promotion applies only to orders made via their website.

At this rate, I’ll definitely have to pick up some menbosha for my next picnic date.
