Ambience at Chic-A-Boo Fried Chicken is bright, clean, and minimalist. The layout is spartan but functional, wide spacious wooden booths and dining tables in neat rows, with ample natural and fluorescent lighting. There is some simple decor, calling to mind the farms and barnyards of the countryside. Rather quiet most of the time, it can get noisy during peak periods.

Service at Chic-A-Boo Fried Chicken is largely self-service, with ordering, payment, and collection done over the counter. The menu is clear and easy to read, and staff will make recommendations if asked. However, they also tend to be rather brusque, and some of the younger staff seem to be working their 1st job... not much for manners. I note that empty / dirty tables are cleared quite efficiently. Waiting time for food during non-peak periods is less than 3 minutes, but peak periods can stretch the wait up to 30 minutes!

Food at Chic-A-Boo Fried Chicken is Singaporean style Western cuisine. Chic-A-Boo Fried Chicken uses only fresh chicken, not frozen poultry. Taste of their fried chicken is extremely similar to Tenderfresh or Arnold's Fried Chicken, with side dishes resembling Kenny Rogers Roasters. Generally, their fried chicken has a savoury, crisp skin, with a thin golden batter, and succulent, juicy, tender chicken meat. Portions are big for 1 person, and prices are similar to a coffeeshop, budget about SGD $8 per person for a meal here. Worth dining at Chic-A-Boo Fried Chicken at least once!

The Set Meal (SGD $7.90) for 1 person has either 2 pieces of chicken, or 2 pieces of fish, along with any choice of 2 side dishes, 1 regular size soft drink, and 1 Corn Muffin.

Similar in style to Kenny Rogers Roasters, the Corn Muffin (SGD $1.20) is warm, fragrant and soft, studded within with corn kernels. Though it's not as tasty as the original version, it's still pretty good!

These are possibly the cheapest Sweet Potato Fries (SGD $2) in Singapore, and well worth the visit just to eat these! Warm and soft, with natural sweet potato flavour, the thick cut sweet potato fries have a slight pillowy texture.

Only fresh chickens are used to prepare the Favourite Fried Chicken (SGD $2.50 Per Piece). The golden skin has a light, crisp batter, savoury and delicious, although the taste is very similiar to Tenderfresh or Arnold's Fried Chicken. There are 3 parts to choose from, Thigh, Drumstick, or Breast, of these, I personally recommend getting the chicken Thigh or Drumstick, as these 2 parts have chicken meat that is succulent, juicy, and tender.
