popeye chicken & biscuit

Was at T1 Changi yesterday evening to send off Ivan and Agi. Was quite a huge turn-out with his church mates all there as well. So, after that, we decided to go find the elusive but 'famous' Popeye Chicken and Biscuit fast food. 'Famous' 'coz it was highly recommended by colleagues and friends who had tried it. But to me, if it is that good... how come it's not found anywhere else but in Changi? Hmm... but anyway, we went around and found it at the level above the departure hall.

When we reached there, it was really crowded... packed! So, it was a good sign, yes? Anyhow, we went to queue up while my brother go look for a place to sit. We ordered two sets of 2piece chicken and 1 set of 3 piece chicken. It was stated on the menu that the chicken comes as spicy or mild but the wait staff didn't ask, so I also don't know whether the ones that we ate was spicy or mild...

So we sat down and started eating. The set comes with 1 regular side dish and 1 scone like thingie. So we chose, coleslaw, mashed potato and cajun fries as the side. I suppose that is the 'buttermilk biscuit'? Not sure, haha! Anyway, the scone is a refreshing change from the usual bun, and it tasted quite alright with the accompanying jam. The fried chicken looks like KFC's crispy chicken but slightly better. The meat was quite juicy and was probably 0.5% less oily than KFC? (But equally as sinful, I suppose!)

Anyway, conclusion is..... nothing spectacular lor. Quite a letdown from all the hype bah. How apt is this saying, "The greater the expectation, the more disappointment." But the queue was still snakingly long while we were there... heh heh, people here sure like fast food!
