Waffletown

It has been a long time since I visited them after they shifted from their original place at Balmoral, and the good thing is - nothing has changed! Good old comfort food taste that is just as good even if you are going to be new to them without knowing that they moved from somewhere else. I had the waffle with chicken, and if anyone is expecting the waffles to rival your favourite ice cream joint these days (think Creamier ot Birds of Paradise), then you would be greatly disappointed because it's not meant to. Times have moved on, but the waffles here just have that classic taste from decades ago when waffles just weren't of that level as it can be now. My son had the super value meal which is basically their chicken cutlet cut up to pieces, served with white rice, and a fried sunny side up egg, no sauce. It can be a little on the dry side. Let's get to the main event - the fried chicken of course - Clucky Lucky as it's called. It's yums!! Light batter that is crunchy without worrying about that thick layer of fat accompanying underneath, and the it never comes across as being too oily, which is great! And it seems like it's fresh chicken that they use, cus my wife says when one eats it down to the bone, the colour reveals so (hope she's right! Haha.. I wouldn't know better) I paid about $43 that fed the 4 of us, with 1) waffle with chicken, 2) super value meal which came with a cup to get drinks at the dispenser, 3) 9pcs of fried chicken. Fair value! The place is well patronised by the people who live in the area, and I am sure since their move, they have their regulars now from the neighbourhood.

Yummy fried chicken & delicious waffle 🧇 Truly lives up to the name WaffleTown. So fragrant So soft yet crispy on the outside. Will definitely be back for more.

first time here haha so def not for the nostalgia, food is surprisingly decent though the fried chicken is really really good, NOT OILY i love it, waffles were average but they have the nice waffle taste (iykyk), chicken and waffles are a classic combo, nothing much could go wrong tbh! 4 stars instead of 5 for the food because the waffle was quite average imo :) also ordered a combo burger that haven’t tried yet, so i’m just rating this based on the burger alone

Nice waffle, crispy fried chicken

Tried the fried chicken and waffle, and I came away impressed. Unlike the picture on the menu, the chicken arrived at the table cut into bite size pieces. It was crispy and also well marinated without being too oily. The waffle was crispy on the outside and somewhat chewy on the inside, which made it comparable to the A&W of old. The crispyness and overall taste dips a bit when it cools nearing the end of the meal, but overall can be eaten on its own. They accept credit card. The place sits about 20-30, with the seatings reminding me of McD of the 90s. I would try their other items if I'm back in the area.

Waffletown Wonders: A Chilli Fish Revelation? My friend, a staunch advocate for Waffletown's chilli fish with rice, finally convinced me to give it a try. Located conveniently near my place, this small eatery with limited seating was our destination. Luckily, we snagged the last available spot. The menu was a mix of familiar Western fare, but I was slightly taken aback by the waffle combinations. Waffles with bacon, eggs, or chicken? It felt like a bit of a culture shock, as I usually associate bacon with sweet accompaniments like ice cream, honey, or chocolate syrup. Perhaps it's an American thing I'm not familiar with. The humble and obliging boss greeted us with a smile and took our order. We opted for the black pepper chicken chop, the famous chilli fish, and a side of curly fries. The prices seemed a tad high, but the air-conditioning and table service made it acceptable. Our food arrived promptly, and we dug in. Everything was enjoyable, but I'm not sure Waffletown will be my go-to spot when I'm craving Western food. My friend vouch the fish was delicious and gave me a small piece to try. I am just glad that I didn't order that for my meal The real highlight of the meal was the IBC root beer. As a root beer aficionado, it's a rare treat to find it in Singapore. Sadly, my friend wasn't a fan, claiming it tasted like cough syrup! Hehe... It's funny how different people can have such different opinions on food! Sometimes it's worth trying new places just for the experience, even if it doesn't become my new favorite.

Time travel back to the late 80s where I frequent Bukit Timah Plaza weekly. Such an iconic restaurant back in the day and brought back so much memories. Anyway the fried chicken is still very good, although the price has more than doubled or tripled since then. Also like the root beer float where the ice cream is in the cup before you pour the root beer over. Coleslaw is also very crunchy and nice old school homemade goodness. Waffles is not that special and I didn't really enjoy the mashed potatoes which felt very pasty and artificial. Full points for the nostalgia though. Will be back again when I'm around the area.

Unfortunately I feel that it’s overhyped and people only go because the price is relatively lower than surrounding restaurants. But nothing can justify the steep prices they charge relative to the quality of food they serve. $7.50 for “super value set meal”, butter rice was very bland and tasted basically like plain rice, very dry too (this set didn’t come with gravy), one single piece of raw tomato, fried chicken pieces had a lot of batter. Refill for fountain drinks came at $1 per round. Simply not worth the price; it couldve been decent coffee shop western food if the are much lower. You also wont be full eating the $7.50 meal unless you have the appetite of a dust mite.
