Alexandra Hainanese Chicken Rice- The Best White Chicken

4 words:
Tender, juicy, succulent and moist.
The ultimate hainanese chicken!

Needless to say, they have one of the best hainanese chicken in Singapore.

And for merely $3 per plate, it was such a good deal!

The soy sauce here was milder and sweeter compared to the one we had in Wee Nam Kee. We would prefer the sauce to be more savoury as we like to drench our rice with the soy sauce. The rice, to our dismay, was too sticky and mushy. We prefer the grains to be firmer. It lacked the strong aroma of what chicken rice should have. It was unsatisfying but the succulent chicken definitely made up for it! The chilli was good and gave us the kick!

(A: My ears were burning red after eating!)

This will be our favourite hainanese white chicken rice. For roasted chicken rice, we will go for Wee Nam Kee.

J's rating: 4.5/5 chicken, 3/5 rice, A’s rating: 4.75/5 chicken, 3.5/5 for rice

Waffletown- Just how juicy can a fried chicken get?

Tucked away in the quiet Balmoral Plaza, Waffletown seemed to have garnered sufficient support from its pool of loyal patrons for years despite its location. Upon reaching, reminiscence of the good old A&W located at Tanjong Katong flashed through our minds.

The interior wasn't impressive at all. The tables and chairs were very old and the floors were peeling.

(J: I remember vividly how i used to enjoy sitting on these kind of chairs in Mcdonalds and rotate left & right throughout my meals lol.)

In terms of cleaniness, well, they're acceptable. Anw, what matters most is the quality of the food right? :)

2 piece fried chicken $4.50

These fried chicken took us by surprise. We've always thought that the KFC fried chicken and the fried chicken wings from mountbatten swimming complex were unbeatable. KFC's secret recipe includes marinating herbs onto their chicken to enhance its flavor. Though Waffletown's fried chicken may look ordinary, what's impressive is that without the additional touchups like KFC, the perfectly fried golden brown chicken retained its JUICYNESS really well and the skins were really CRISPY. Also noteworthy is that they only fry the chicken after each order so you can enjoy ur fried chickens while they're HOT! Beware and watch ur tongue when u bite! A downside is tt we can't make special requests to choose the desired parts of chicken. We love thighs bcos they're sooo tender n always avoided ribs cos' they're really dry n hard. However, Waffletown's ribs are tender n juicy as well! Angeline finished it even though she hated ribs! 

(A: I was still gnawing on the bones even when I finished all the meat! haha)

FINGERLICKING GOOD~! Yumyum~

A's & J's rating: 4.5/5

Blueberry Waffle $3.90

A trip to Waffletown is definitely incomplete without its highly raved waffles. They're really affordable as compared to waffles elsewhere. However, we must say they failed to meet our expectations. Though freshly prepared, the waffle was far too crispy for our liking. It reminded us of the Haagen Dazs' waffle we had in Monaco. We thought tt we were eating waffle biscuits instead of the waffle itself. Of cos, Waffletown fared better but still, it was overbaked, in our humble opinion. It wasn't soft & fluffy inside and the waffle tasted rather bland on its own. The blueberry toppings were delectable though. Generously topped with really big n sweet blueberries, this was the only enjoyment for us. Well, either Waffletown fell short of its standard tt day or their waffles are just not pleasing to our palates. Gelare still ranks no. 1 for our waffles treat.

Chocolat N' Spice- Moist muffins treat!

J: My colleague has highly recommended Chocolat N' Spice muffins to me when i just started work. From afar, my nose had picked up the trailing fragrance of freshly baked muffins just right out from oven. Luckily, the queue was rather short tt day. She explained to me tt usually queues will be longer on thurs & fri cos' the OLs want to da bao muffins for the weekend. Upon reaching the small shop, I was simply spoilt for choices. And the place also gave me the feeling of marketplace bcos it was rather chaotic, with a few shop assistants taking down orders all at the same time. With all the commotions going on, I forgot what sis wanted me to order and ended up buying 1 more muffin lol.

From top left (clockwise):

Mocha (new!), blueberry, double chocolate, banana walnut, orange peel with raisins

The muffins were wonderfully moist even when we ate them over the next 2 days. They were not overly sweet and tends towards a more cakey feel. Our personal preference lies towards the blueberry and mocha muffins. The large and sweet blueberrys were generously infused in the muffin! Being coffee lovers, the mocha definitely exude strong fragrance of cocoa and coffee. Definitely satisfying! Double choc and banana walnut muffins were pretty decent, nothing to shout about. Orange peel with raisins was definitely something refreshing but the lack in sufficient orange peel made the muffin extra ordinary.

A & J's rating: 4.25/5 blueberry & mocha muffins, 3.75/5 banana walnut & double choc muffins, 3/5 orange peel with raisins muffin
