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!!

I used to watch Popeye the Sailor Man when I was a kid. Who could ever forget the spinach munching strong man and the ridiculous feats he could achieve? Well, fast forward to the present where the Popeye fad is long gone and all that's left is a restaurant with the same name selling fast food and showing Popeye cartoons on a small television set. In case you have the impression that this fast food outlet is hidden in an obscure corner rotting away, let me assure you that it's not. Queues can grow to as long as 10 people and waiting times can be about 20-25mins (largely in part due to the slow staff).
Located on the third level of Changi Airport Terminal 1, Popeyes looks every bit your typical fast food restaurant. Loud colours with pictures of food plastered on the billboards behind. Nothing too fanciful. The seating area is shared amongst the other F&B tenants in the same section.
I had the 2 piece chicken, which was really well done. The skin was dry, crispy and tasty on the outside while a little oily on the inside. The meat was tender but could have been slightly juicer though. This definitely beats KFC's offering hands down anytime. The accompanying biscuit was nicely done, fragrant and crumbly with a slight hint of oven baked goodness.
The sides of mashed potato, fries and coleslaw weren't fantastic. Pretty normal if you ask me, just that the fries came with skin, which is the way fries should be (think New York Fries).
Lets face it, 15 bucks is expensive for a 4 piece chicken set with 2 drinks and 3 sides. KFC would probably cost 12 bucks for the same set. Do note that Popeye charges you 50 cents for every 2 pieces of chicken parts that you specifically request for. So then is it worth it? In my opinion, definitely.
