We ordered the 2-Piece Set Meal ($7.40) served with a regular side dish and soft drink. I got the Spicy Chicken, (both thigh meat because I'm really not a fan of breast meat). The meat was juicy, succulent, moist and tender. Even if the portions have shrunk, the chicken here is still notably better and bigger than KFC's miserly portions. But The Colonel has one thing Popeyes doesn't. The "secret recipe" original flavour marinade. Popeyes' chicken skin is crispy and flavourful, but it just can't beat the "11 herbs and spices" used in The Colonel's "secret recipe".
Popeyes' Mashed Potatoes with Cajun Gravy (regular) is one of the best around in the fast food business. The potatoes are very ho-hum, nothing to praise about (I suspect it's the instant-mix type). But the gravy is really yummy. It's mildly spiced, rich, thick and luscious. I can taste paprika, cayenne, thyme and parsley in the gravy, herbs often used in Cajun cooking
This was my first time at Popeye's despite them being here for so long.
I ordered the fried chicken and it came along with what looked like a scone...they call it biscuit, I think.
Anyways, the fried chicken while special, reminded me alot of Texas Fried Chicken I used to have at Changi T1 when I was a student.
It brought back memories. It's okay for a change (if you're sick of KFC or those hawker centre BBQ chicken) but value for money-wise, I'd still stick to KFC.
And also it was a far distance to travel for fried chicken. I don't suppose they have a branch in town or in the heartlands?
