SIN: Golden Rooster

Take your pick: BBQ or fried chicken?

I've heard that Golden Rooster chicken dishes were everyone's favourite. I'm not sure if that's a hyperbole, but all I can say is that their dishes weren't bad. However, over the years, they've raised their prices somewhat significantly. When I first tried their rice with half BBQ chicken, it was S$4.50. For the same portion, expect to take out S$5.30 from your wallet now.


Half BBQ Chicken with Rice S$5.30
Taste: 7.5/10

The tender half BBQ chicken came with rice and a bit of coleslaw on the side. While the skin was flavourful, it was a pity that the marination didn't quite allow the flavours to seep into the meat. The chili wasn't exciting for me due to the fact that it was watery and not too hot.


Half Fried Spring Chicken with Rice S$5.30
Taste: 8/10

I found the half fried spring chicken to be slightly better than its BBQ counterpart. The mild crunchiness of the skin, which was adequately seasoned, met the could-be-more-succulent meat. The coleslaw was refreshingly sweet.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 7.5/10

The stall is located at VariNice hawker centre in Clementi, so Melon isn't reviewing the ambience. Pika's advice: They also sell other dishes which are typically sold at stalls selling Western food. I've never tried any of them, so perhaps you may want to give them a try.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
