haha, u mean that our media so bland? At least that's a good sign i guess better than taiwan, everyday their news can fill up one whole newspaper and it still isn't enough.
dots, 5 mins? u sure or not, what the is freaking point of that? right spend 5 mins kill shit lor.
Anyway, i just got back from T1, just ate popeye, so this is a mini review.
Location: Popeye's Chicken & Biscuit at Changi Airport Terminal 1 Level 3
Total Cost Spend: 5.40(regular) upsided to (7.40 + fries only) and added Mash Potato, so spend around 9.40 in total...
Items tried:
Chicken(9/10):
Well, i tried the original chicken for taste test. Well, i think i finally know what those guys meant by frozen taste, it that kind of feeling that u get when u eat a piece of meat and u find yourself asking, weird, what is this strange taste( not an easy thing to explain though). But overall, it was pretty good at the very least it was crispy, unlike KFC original chicken which was wasn't crispy at all when it felt more like it was deep fried and then steam, it had that soggy feeling which popeye chicken didnt.
I had the chicken tights and a chicken wing. The chicken tights was really juicy, every bite, i could taste the juiciness of the chicken
But one thing that i find bad about them is that they were not batter well, some parts of the chicken were just the skin, there wasn't any of that crispy bits.
Buttermilk Biscuit(4/10)
A sad disappointment, a store that signature dish is chicken and biscuit, wouldn't you think that the biscuit would be decent? Well, taste-wise, it is salty, i don know about u guys, but i thought that buttermilk would give the biscuit, i don know a sweet taste? Instead, it taste salty and floury. Which I dont think that should be the case, should it?
Anyway, when u buy the biscuit, they give u a small bottle of jam to eat it with, but the jam itself is just really sweet, so it would be a good combination to mask that salty and flourly taste. As for me,i just eat it with my mash potato, it was a better combination in my judgement.
Well, one good thing about it though was that it breaks apart easily and the inside was pretty fluffy.
Cajun Fries
6/10)
Well, as fries goes, this is pretty much on par with Long John Silver's fries. It has a rich taste, well, it just taste nicer than Macdonald. But i wish that they weren't so stingy with the spices, when i ate them some of the fries taste just that, just like a regular fries and yet on some of the fries, i was able to taste the spices. Couldn't they have i don know, more even spreading?
Overall, it is quite okay, just not too different from the usual fries.
Mash Potato
8/10):
This was a real surprise though, when i ordered it, i wasn't expecting much, well, its a mash potato that well, it was cold, not a good sign when it comes to mash potato. But when i first put a mouthful of it, hey, i could taste some bits of spices(?) which was pretty interesting. But for a cold mash potato it taste pretty good, maybe it is the gravy or the novelty of those pieces of food that gave it texture. Anyway since it was cold, i am pretty lax with the grading.
Service
3/10):
Really cannot make it, seriously, if it is elsewhere u may be excused, but u are working at a airport for god sake, smile a little, and it was only 11am when i got there, IT IS STILL EARLY!! don act like u were here from midnight, because i highly doubt that. Well, i was there, and the queue was pretty long, they take quite a long while to process the guy order in front of me, around 10 mins and it wasn't even a large order, just the regular chicken combo.
And while i was there, all the employees looked like it was the end of the world, no smile, no talking, just sir, what do u wish to order, here u go, that's it, there wasn't even a fake have a nice day or hope to see you soon, it was like dude, here's your food now let me go back to staring at the wall...
and when i asked them for what was the differences between the regular 5.40 and the other 7.40, he wasnt even looking at me when he told me it was just inclusion of fries, he was looking at the sky...
They should be projecting a better image, just because they are working at a tad more remote section, does means that they can be all gloomy like.
Ambient of the place(7/10)
Maybe it was because i was pretty early when i got there, it was really quiet, i could find a place to sit and stare at the little people. But the area was pretty bare, just tables and chairs, that's all, maybe 1 or 2 posters to decorate the area.
Overall: (37/60)
In a nutshell, bad Service, decent food, just sad that their signature biscuit is so salty :X sad... but at least their other signature chicken is decent.
Will i return??:
Probably will, just take away my food and toss the biscuit into the bin, that thing just isn't worth 1.30 dollar if u buy the biscuits individually. But i doubt that i will be able to eat often there.
