Need Help With Popcorn

  Heyo,

  Foodie needing a little help.  Can anybody recommend places to buy really nice tasting pre-made popcorn? That does not cost an arm an a leg like they do in the cinemas?

  Thinking of throwing a movie party at my place for the GF, but really not looking forward to doing the cleanup traditonally associated with DIY popcorn at home.  Thanks in advance!

  I like pop corn too, but I can tell you honestly pre made is just crap. If you have a microwave oven, I propose that you take a visit to cold storage supermarkets and get a pack of those that just require 5 minutes in the microwave. Yes, its a pity they don't have sweet tasting ones, but the butter ones really taste good enough.

  The only downside is that 15% will still be kernel, so I usually put an extra minute on the microwave. One serving pack is good enough for 2 pax. There is no specific brand that I particularly go for, but I do target those that have maximum butter, no lite or fat free crap.

  Yes I agree with ditzy, pre made popcorn is crap. I recommend a popcorn shop @ ION orchard basement 4 (CORNERY-the popcorn gallery). The total of 23 flavours of popcorn are so AWESOME and good value for money, price start from $1.60. The best "fresh" popcorn shop I've ever tried in Singapore. =)

  I like to buy Pop Secret from Jason's supermarket

  I think it's the nicest "pop it yourself" brand. You will get most of the kernals popped

  Thing is, it's very expensive ...and yeah for these labels don't go for the low fat version
