Porridge, pancakes and more: Popeyes enters Singapore's fast-food breakfast game, Lifestyle News
There's a new player in the fast-food breakfast game, and it goes by the name of Popeyes.
The US-based fast-food chain, famous for its New Orleans-style fried chicken, is introducing a breakfast menu from Wednesday (May 28) across all 19 outlets islandwide.
Earlier today, Popeyes shared the news on social media.
"This isn't just breakfast. It's a bold new movement. And it's only at Popeyes Singapore," the caption read.
The announcement is a major milestone for the fast-food brand, sharing that the new breakfast menu is its first in Asia.
Calling it a 'Breakfast Symphony', Popeyes is looking to blend its Louisiana flavours with familiar local breakfast classics.
Diners can expect breakfast burgers such as Poppy Cajun Stack or Poppy Chicken Sausage & Egg Muffin.
Other breakfast delights include Signature Poppy Chicken & Waffles Platter and Chicken Porridge.
Let's not forget a pivotal piece of a fast-food breakfast meal: hashbrowns. At Popeyes, diners can expect a tingle of spice with their Cajun Hashbrown.
Its 24-hour outlets — at Changi Airport Terminal 1, Northpoint City, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard, The Rail Mall, The Seletar Mall, Viva Business Park and Woodlands Exchange — will serve the breakfast menu from 4am to 11am, while others will be from 7.30am to 11am.
In celebration of the new menu items, Popeyes is launching weekly weekday promotions.
From May 28 to June 3, diners can have their Poppy Sausage & Egg Muffin Value Meal at $6.90 (U.P. $10.50)
Simply present a screenshot of the e-coupon to redeem the promotion.

China's factory activity cools in May as US tariffs hit
BEIJING: China's factory activity in May shrank for the first time in eight months, a private-sector survey showed on Tuesday (Jun 3), indicating US tariffs are now starting to directly hurt the manufacturing superpower. The Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing PMI fell to 48.3 in May from 50.4 in April, missing analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll and marking the first contraction since September last year. It was also the lowest reading in 32 months. The 50-mark separates growth from contraction. The result is broadly in line with China's official PMI released on Saturday that showed factory activity fell for a second month. A federal appeals court temporarily reinstated the most sweeping US tariffs, a day after a trade court ruled that President Donald Trump had exceeded his authority in imposing the duties and ordered an immediate block on them. Two weeks after breakthrough negotiations that resulted in a temporary truce in the trade war between the world's two biggest economies, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday the talks are "a bit stalled". China's Premier Li Qiang last week said the country is mulling new policy tools, including some "unconventional measures", which will be launched as the situation evolves. According to the Caixin survey, new export orders shrank for the second straight month in May and at the fastest pace since July 2023. Producers said the US tariffs restrained global demand. That dragged down overall new orders to the lowest since September 2022. Factory output meanwhile contracted for the first time since October 2023. Employment in the manufacturing sector declined at the sharpest pace since the start of this year, as producers cut headcount. Output prices have fallen for six straight months due to intense market competition. In the auto industry, for example, an intensifying price war in China has stoked fears of a long-anticipated shake-out in the world's largest car market. Robin Xing, Chief China Economist at Morgan Stanley, said this underscores how supply-demand imbalances continue to fuel deflation. "There is growing rhetoric about the need for rebalancing, but recent developments suggest the old supply-driven model remains intact. Thus, reflation is likely to remain elusive." Surprisingly, export charges rose for the first time in nine months, marking the fastest growth since July 2024, as companies cited rising logistics costs and tariffs.

Gold hovers near four-week peak on weaker US dollar, trade concerns
[BENGALURU] Gold edged up to hit a near four-week high on Tuesday (Jun 3), as a weaker US dollar and rising uncertainty over the US-China trade deal boosted demand for the safe-haven asset. Spot gold inched up 0.1 per cent at US$3,381.13 an ounce, as at 0038 GMT, after hitting its highest level since May 8 earlier in the session. The metal gained about 2.7 per cent in the previous session, marking its strongest daily performance in more than three weeks. US gold futures was up 0.3 per cent to US$3,406.10. The US dollar index touched a more than one-month low, making gold cheaper for buyers holding other currencies. US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will likely speak this week, White House said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions.

The Trump administration wants countries to provide their best offer on trade negotiations by Wednesday as officials seek to accelerate talks with multiple partners ahead of a self-imposed deadline in just five weeks, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners seen by Reuters. Meanwhile, Russia told Ukraine at peace talks on Monday that it would only agree to end the war if Kyiv gives up big new chunks of territory and accepts limits on the size of its army, according to a memorandum reported by Russian media. Elsewhere, spot silver fell 0.4 per cent to US$34.67 an ounce, platinum rose 0.4 per cent to US$1,067.40 and palladium was up 0.2 per cent to US$990.76. REUTERS

US airlines oppose credit card fee crackdown they say could imperil free flight offers
[WASHINGTON] Major airlines said on Monday they oppose a new effort to advance legislation that would reduce fees charged by Visa and Mastercard on transactions, saying it could force them to stop offering rewards credit cards that give consumers frequent flyer miles for making transactions. American Airlines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and others including planemakers Boeing, Airbus, RTX and GE Aerospace, said in a letter to senators the legislation sponsored by Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall could sharply reduce air travel and harm overall tourism. Also signing the letter were aviation unions. Airlines generate billions of dollars annually in fees for branded credit cards. Durbin has called the airlines 'basically credit card companies that own some planes.' The airlines argue the reduction in swipe fees would make it impossible to offer rewards and point to a 2010 law aimed at debit card fees that they say nearly eliminated rewards debit cards. Airlines successfully defeated efforts in 2023 to pass the measure but it could be attached to a cryptocurrency bill under consideration this week. Durbin, a Democrat, previously said the measure co-sponsored with Republican Marshall could save merchants and consumers US$15 billion annually in fees for credit card transactions, while businesses pay more than US$100 billion in so-called swipe fees annually.

Sign Up Sign Up Durbin and Marshall did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The letter said over 31 million Americans hold airline travel reward cards and 57 per cent of all frequent flier miles and points issued in 2023 were generated by airline credit card use. Nearly 16 million domestic air visitor trips were awarded from points earned through use of an airline-branded credit card in 2023. Last year, the Biden administration Transportation Department opened an inquiry ordering American, Delta Air Lines, Southwest and United to provide records and submit reports to ensure consumers do not face unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive practices. US carriers relied on these programmes, which have tens of millions of members, for revenue and to raise funds during the Covid-19 pandemic when travel demand plunged. Loyalty programmes of Delta, United and American were each valued at more than US$20 billion in 2023, according to consulting firm On Point Loyalty. REUTERS
