New in town: rumeL's $5 sourdough pizzas in Bugis+ this weekend
If you see an adorable creature popping up all over Bugis+ on 28 Jun, you know you've walked into rumeL's newly opened outlet. After all, it's not every day you see a lemur gracing a pizza store's logo, right?
With a that's 'lemur' spelt backwards, rumeL mimics its mascot's playful, laid-back nature through their pizzas and coffees. But the ones most similar to the lemurs may be those peering through the queue on opening day, lol.
rumeL's opening is thanks to Hersing Culinary, who has brought in Sicilian chef Silvo Gropelli — ranked number 1 by 50 Top Pizza — for the curation of recipes.
Neapolitan pizzas — known for their thin bottom and high, charred crust — are rumeL's speciality. While Neapolitan pizzas traditionally include only pizza Margherita or pizza marinara, rumeL caters to the Singaporean food scene with 15 flavour variations.
As someone who frequently eats out alone, I appreciated the personal-size portions. From S$5, you get a 6-inch pizza that's more than enough to fill you up. If you're with friends, you can opt for the 10-inch pizzas that start at S$9.80.
Trust me, don't dabao these if you've got time to dine in. Luscious melted cheese stretches from slice to slice when it's piping hot, and the ingredients glisten in bubbling juices.
Though these thin-crust pizzas still taste great cold, the theatrics of a cheese pull are half the reason why I love myself a slice!
rumeL's opening menu features the Hot Honey Cheese Pizza (S$6.80) topped with perfectly melted cheddar and mozzarella. A generous drizzle of mildly spicy hot honey completes the golden balance of sweet and salty.
Personally, I didn't feel the heat from the hot honey, so hardcore spice lovers take note!
Headlining the breakfast pizza section is the world's first Kaya Butter Pizza (S$6.80), which is only S$5 during rumeL's opening promotion. Don't back away just yet, because sourdough was a surprisingly close match to toast in this combo!
I was shocked by how well the Kaya Butter Pizza emulated kaya toast. The layer of kaya wasn't too sweet and the butter melted into a silky golden sheen on each slice. I'm not a fan of cold butter slices myself, so this was right down my alley.
Plus that thick, chewy crust covered in oven char? It's kaya toast, no doubt!
The promo for S$5 pizzas covers the Kaya Butter Toast, Chicken Floss and Crushed Peanut Butter flavours. The Veggie, Margherita and Mozza B.L.T pizzas will be S$6.80 instead of the usual price of S$7.80. As long as you come down any time from 8am to 11am, this promo will apply!
Furthermore, on 28 and 29 Jun, you'll be able to get 50% off your second pizza if you're one of the first 188 customers each day. If you're planning an outing with friends, this is your sign to come to Bugis+ for a slice.
So get ready for rumeL's grand opening this Saturday, or else you'll become a tiptoeing lemur at the end of the queue!
