Waffletown 2025 @ NEWest in Singapore

Going to Waffletown is like a walk down memory lane for me. An eatery originating from Bukit Timah Plaza over 40 years old, moved over to Balmoral Plaza and announced its closure in 2021, drawing long queues that resulted in a disappointed me who couldn't endure the hour-long wait.

Gratefully, it reopened for business at a location nearer my workplace, at NEWest! I visited a few times and thought it's time to give this a blog a break from the deluge of overseas postings in recent days, and go back to local eateries! 

Featuring its signage that remained unchanged throughout the years, what surprised me more was that even the interior retained its old school charm, including the preservation of the uncomfortable chairs! 

Want to guess what I shall be having first? 

Hint: Salted butter and maple (flavored) syrup.

Plain Waffle - of course we had to eat waffle at Waffletown, although I did share that their main specialty here is not the waffles. Nonetheless, butter and maple syrup are must-haves for simple cafe waffle! 

With a crisp shell (at least for some sections), this felt like McDonald's breakfast hotcakes with syrup and butter, albeit in crispier form. Between the two, I am all for McDonald's hotcakes! I had to remind myself; those hotcakes are calorie-hefty; 557 calories! 

Clucky Lucky Fried Chicken - for both Alex and I, the fried chicken would be a bigger draw for us than the chicken! That's why friends were puzzled whenever I recommend fried chicken at Waffletown, often responding: "Wait, aren't the waffles the signatures?" 

You know how in those American movies, the actors / actresses would bite into the fried chicken and then express total bliss?! That would be exactly whenever I sink my teeth into a piece of clucky lucky fried chicken at Waffletown! 

Without much fanfare; they were, simply put, uncomplicated fried chicken with common seasonings; freshly fried, hot with moist meat, thinly crisp chicken skin and bones that were not black (high chance the chicken wasn't frozen).  

=====

We cleaned up everything! p.s. the waffle was gone shortly after. Given that I am just a 15-minute bus ride from my workplace, I shall be a frequent patron. Only "negative" feedback - I think the chicken parts have shrunk over the years.
