Been to this place twice so far.. Would say that their fried chicken was really good, even better than that of KFC. Partly because I think it is less oily and yet the outer skin can still be very crispy and has that "crunching" sound when you bit into it. As for the biscuit, it tastes equally good and is very different from the normal biscuits that you get outside.
I agree with Feizhu that the waiting time can be quite long, which is definitely attributed to the slow working pace of the staff there. In the end, you get a long queue. Pehaps this is their strategy to attract ppl to try their food? haha
But too bad that there is one and only one outlet of Popeyes, which is at Changi Airport, meaning you either had to take a train or drive all the way there just to grab of the food. Thus, both times I have eaten it was due to me being there to send someone off.
So really hope that maybe they would allow someone to do the franchising and open up more outlets around the island. Give KFC a run for their money!!
Went to this place with polarbear and a couple of other colleagues. And like what he had mentioned, the food there is really quite tasty and the queue was really long.
I can still remember seeing the queue form up as early as 6pm and even when we had left around 8plus, the queue was still as long as it had started. So you can really imagine the business there is extremely good.
And I liked the Crab Bee Hoon more. Cos' the creamy crab seems to be slightly overcooked and some of the meat was stuck on the shell, thus making it a bit harder to eat. In addition, the shells of the crab were not really "broken" and no crab pincers (nt sure if that's what they term), were given to us to help us break the shells. So in the end, we had to use our teeth to crack open the shells.
As for the Thai chicken and sambal kangkong (which Polarbear did not get to taste, haha!!), the former was really good, with equal sweetness and sourness while the latter was really spicy. For those who can't bear hot stuff, do be warned that the chilli is really powerful.
Overall, I would say that the food was good, but without a booking be prepared to wait for a long time. Therefore, my advice is : Always make your booking beforehand. Do not attempt to try your luck. You wil be disappointed.
