The McDonald's at Potong Pasir has revamped for quite a while now and I thought I would go back to see the changes. The interior is now complete with cushioned bar-top seats and new, wooden tables -definitely more chic! I decided to have hotcakes for breakfast and chose to try the new-on-their-menu Strawberry Hotcakes. Not really a huge fan of hot fudge with pancakes so I opted for a fruitier option.
The hotcakes meal is $5.50 be it whether you choose the hot fudge or the strawberry and it comes with a hash brown and a choice of coffee or tea. I opted for coffee with milk, no extra charge there.The hotcakes are fluffy and warm, when I opened the lid of the styrofoam pack there was actually steam! The butter melted nicely on the warm pancakes, and when I poured the strawberry syrup on top, it was chunky with the berry bits -delicious. The strawberry syrup is sweet, but fruity, and the chunks of strawberry provide texture. The stack of three pancakes is just right and the butter gave a semi salty creaminess to the whole dish. Definitely worth every penny of my $5.50. Definitely a 4.5/5.
The hashbrown wasn't as hot as I'd liked it to be, but it was still fresh and the oil hadn't coagulated. It was savoury and crispy -but not burnt, and on the whole decent. My coffee was also strong, and I'm glad I took it with milk. I also helped myself to the sugar packets until it was sweet enough to taste. Strong yet milky coffee, that was piping hot -definitely a pick me up in the morning.
Service is also really brisk. Every order is timed using a mini hourglass such that if they exceed the 60 second mark for completing your order, you get a free vanilla cone coupon. This really pushes the staff to do even better -not only serving the food quickly, but at the same time, not compromising the quality of their service.
Potong Pasir is an idyllic, quiet place, for a lazy Sunday breakfast, and it definitely is one of my favourite McDonald's -the staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food has heart.

So here we were! Neighbours and gang having another "Chill" session out at the local Mcdonalds. I reckon we ordered a couple of packets of french fries and some nuggets. It was for a snack and just to you know hang! As well all know the Mcdonalds in Potong Pasir is a famous haunt for school goers from Saint Andrews... Great studying Ambience!
Well the food at this Mcdonalds is also better than most of the chains we find in town as perhaps the workers take extra care to serve it up nicely as most of the customers from this "kampong" estate re-visit the place and we would take no nonsense!
The fries and nuggets turned out as crispy and succulent as ever and we even started playingwith our food! We created a french fry--> Nugget Holder!!! Check out the cool pic! mehhh, now a days curry sauce costs like 30 cents for a packet.... cause we used to spam a lot!
Its a Mcdonalds..... so there is defo room for improvement on the taste but other than that it was solid!

Got a rather messy Big Mac for my meal. Lettuce looks and taste like a few days too old. The beef patty was nice though, served hot and not drenched with oil. The Big Mac sauce is still the big catch at McDonald’s for me, apart from the irregular golden fries these days.
