The Sweet & Spicy Crunch: Waker Chicken's Hougang Delight



Unveiling the Great Waker Chicken Discovery

In the heart of Singapore's bustling food scene, you'll stumble upon Waker Chicken at Hougang's Ci Yuan Hawker Centre—a hidden gem that beckons food enthusiasts. Forget about the usual fast-food fried chicken joints; this eatery offers a unique twist on the classic crispy chicken. Our recent gastronomic journey to Waker Chicken was a revelation, and let's just say, it's worth the cluck! 🍗

Savoring the Sweet & Spicy Marvel

Waker Chicken's standout dish is undoubtedly their Sweet Spicy Fried Chicken. You get 7 pieces for $14 or a whole chicken with 14 pieces for $27. It's a bang for your buck, and the flavor combination of sweetness with a subtle kick of spiciness is a game-changer. The sauce generously blankets each piece, making your taste buds dance the cha-cha!

The Irresistible Crispy Crunch

One bite, and you'll experience that unmistakable crunch that could make even Colonel Sanders gasp with excitement. The crispy skin is where Waker Chicken truly excels. It manages to retain its perfect crispness despite being drenched in sauce. This is a dream come true for lovers of crispy chicken.

The Juicy Chicken Conundrum

Beneath the tantalizingly crispy skin lies the juicy, tender flesh. Although it's succulent, it does fall slightly short in the seasoning department. A pinch of salt could have elevated the chicken's overall taste, balancing the sweetness of the sauce. But hey, that's what condiments are for, right?

Waker Chicken's Wide Reach

If you're not around Hougang, fret not! Waker Chicken has multiple outlets across the island, including Toa Payoh, Tampines, Siglap, and Kovan. So, wherever you are in Singapore, you're never too far from this Korean fried chicken haven.

Bang for Your Buck

At just $2 per piece, Waker Chicken beats KFC in terms of affordability, where an a la carte piece costs $3.80. While the pieces at Waker Chicken may be slightly smaller, the unique flavors and quality make it a great alternative for those looking to spice up their fried chicken game.

In conclusion

Waker Chicken at Hougang's Ci Yuan Hawker Centre offers a delectable escape from the ordinary fried chicken experience.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out?
