I was at Changi Airport late at night and decided to buy a chicken wing from Popeyes for supper. Brought it back all the way from Changi to the west side so it was cold. Surprisingly though, it did not taste bad even though it was cold. The chicken from Popeye is normally less oily as compared to KFC's and because of that, it also tends to be less juicy.

The most notable difference between Popeye's chicken and KFC's chicken is probably the colour of the chicken meat. Popeye's chicken is really very white and not as bloody.

My mom and I shared a 3-piece chicken tenders meal, I love the tenders as usual. The service at this Popeye's outlet is rather slow, I'll say. It took 15 minutes for my turn to arrive even though I was only the 3rd customer in line.Anyway, the chicken was good as usual. I switched the drink to ice lemon tea as my mom didn't want her coffee.

Anyway, the chicken was good as usual. I switched the drink to ice lemon tea as my mom didn't want her coffee. The cajun fries and biscuit with strawberry jam were great too. Somehow the standard of food here seem better than other common branches but the service definitely needs improvement.

Popeye's claim themselves to be lousiana kitchen, which is new to me because I never even know what lousiana cuisine is it.

Popeye's claim themselves to be lousiana kitchen, which is new to me because I never even know what lousiana cuisine is it. But besides the name, it is just pretty much like a fast food restaurant.

Their signature dish is of course their fried chicken, which is fabulous. The chicken is fresh and juicy, and is not too oily for the health conscious.

Another of their signature dish is their "biscuit". This biscuit isn't what the first thing that would come to your mind, it is not like a cookie. Instead it is more like a muffin on the inside but crispy on the outside, which is also slightly like a scone. Goes along well with their jam. A regular two piece chicken meal with a regular side and a biscuit is jusy 7.50.

They also offer various snacks and side dishes, such as calamari rings, onion rings, fries, mashed potato, coleslaw etc. Price for a snack bite is 3.90, while the price for a regular/large side is 2.60/3.60. You can choose which side you want to go along with your meal, and my personal favourite is their fries. They call it cajun fries, which actually has a layer of cajun seasoning on top of it, giving it a different taste from ordinary fries. If you are unsure of what cajun seasoning is, you should go and try it!

The maxi meal (my picture) is a good deal indeed. It includes one piece chicken, two piece chicken strips, two piece chicken drumlets, one biscuit, a regular side and a regular drink, for only 8.50. It is good in a sense that it has more variety and more filling with just a slightly higher price than the two piece chicken meal.

The environment is rather clean and bright, so not much to complain about or ask for in a fast food outlet. Self-service, so not much service provided, but the counter staff is rather efficient and the trays at the empty tables get cleared quite fast too.

My verdict: A must-go for fried chicken lovers!!! And try their biscuit too!

Got to love their whipped potato here. It's very different from their competitors, sauce wise. Their whipped potatoes are served with some sauce that has chilli flakes in it and it really does make a difference in taste! The whipped potato is soft and not too wet for consumption.Spicy food lovers like me are should be convinced that this is one of the better whipped potatoes in town!

Friends know i am a big fan of Popeye's fried chicken. And, for the same reason i have stopped patronizing the other popular fried chicken chain. If i have to compare the chicken between Popeye's and other, my choice gotta be Popeye's. I started eating when they had their first and only outlet at Terminal 1, Changi Airport. Their fried chickens then were really big in pieces but it is getting a little smaller these days but still bigger as compared to their competitors. The fried chicken pieces

Friends know i am a big fan of Popeye's fried chicken. And, for the same reason i have stopped patronizing the other popular fried chicken chain. If i have to compare the chicken between Popeye's and other, my choice gotta be Popeye's. I started eating when they had their first and only outlet at Terminal 1, Changi Airport. Their fried chickens then were really big in pieces but it is getting a little smaller these days but still bigger as compared to their competitors.

The fried chicken pieces served here are less oily, it is nicely fried to achieve the crispy skin and to keep its juiciness intact. It still tasted nice even if you keep them refrigerated and oven it to heat up. I have always prefer the mashed potato and coleslaw as well as the fries here too. I know fried chicken is never a healthy choice but to allow indulgence once in a while is absolutely fine.

Recommended.

Not my first time at popeye's @ airport.. Certainly not surprised by the crowd. It is always packed, no matter which part of the day did you go there. I always love their mash potatos, more than their chicken. I would order a large mash potato just for myself and I also love the biscuit!! It's funny that their best dish is not chicken. If you like to eat chicken, i would say go to KFC. Cheap and good and more value for money.Popeye's is far too expensive for a piece of fried chicken.

the first time i heard about Popeye is when i watch the movie "little nicky" which starred adam sandler as the devil's son, i remembered him buying a box of popeye to eat in the movie. when it first came to singapore, i was excited to try it and went to the nearest outlet. just a couple of days ago, when i was sending a fren of at the airport, i chance upon popeye at T3. without thinking twice, i walked in to find a seat with all my friends.

We each ordered a 2 piece chicken meal, it came tgt with a drink, a side dish and a biscuit. for side dish, we have a couple of choices, since there were 4 of us, we each took different side dish so we can share. i chose the coslaw, while my frens took the fries, corn and mashed potatoes. the coslaw tasted quite sweet, but in a good way, the fries portion was quite big, it tasted somewhat like long john's fries. the corn was very sweet and juicy, sweeter and juicier than macs and the mash potato gravy is very tasty.

we could choose spicy or not spicy for chicken. the chicken pieces were very huge, alot bigger than KFC's. for the biscuit, first look, it look like a cookie. i broke it into 2 and the inside was real soft. it goes well with the strawberry jam provided.

currently the seatings were limited, but they are undergoing constructions to expand the seating places.

I would always visit this outlet whenever I am at Changi Airport, or if I was waiting for my flight. Although it is always crowded especially during lunch/dinner periods, however, the thought of the fried chicken always wins me over to wait for a seat.

I would always visit this outlet whenever I am at Changi Airport, or if I was waiting for my flight. Although it is always crowded especially during lunch/dinner periods, however, the thought of the fried chicken always wins me over to wait for a seat.

This fried chicken is so much better than its competitors. The first time my teeth sank into the meat, I was so shocked that it was so tender! There's hardly any fats on it, and it's really tender and delicious. The best part about the fried chicken is the skin. The skin is battered in flour and spices, but the flour component is not so thick that you can still taste the sweet aroma of the spices and the chicken. I love it! Moreover, the chicken used is really fresh as the meat tears easily from the bones, and best part... no fats and no blood on it!

Another recommendation there is the marsh potato. This is so unlike of its competitors as well.. probably the best marsh potato I have ever tasted. What is so great about it is that you can really taste the potato bits in the marsh potato, and there are lots of spices found in it, but the taste is not too overpowering as well. I love it!

As for the biscuit that every one loves, I realised that now they don't really give the strawberry jam anymore. I realised that the biscuit taste quite good with the Heinz chilli that they offer. However, it's definitely not something I'll remember much since it doesn't taste very good.

We had 4 chicken, 2 buttermilk biscuits, 6 popcorn shrimp, 1 regular mashed potato, 1 regular corn and 2 regular sjora juice.

If not for Popeye's signature soft, crumbly, buttery biscuit and mashed potatoes which have the richest gravy with small chicken bits in it, I think no one would patronise Popeye due to it's super turn off service.
Counter staff were slow and slow in comprehension. Tables were not cleared promptly. I think they lack training and is understaffed. We ordered Cajun Fries too but the evil counter/kitchen staff served them cold.


All in all, I still loooove Popeye’s chicken because it is so crispy yet not too dry. The skin is much better, fresher, and it seems like it used better spices than KFC’s! Come on Popeye, hire more competent staff and open a branch in the west!
