Texas Chicken @ Singapore Expo

Another new fried chicken fast food chain, Texas Chicken has opened  or relaunched in Singapore after KFC, Popeye and Arnold. I mentioned relaunched because I remembered there was Texas Chicken in the 1980's if my memories were correct. Nevertheless, thanks to Select Group, they have brought Texas Chicken to Singapore. Currently they have 2 outlets in Singapore Expo and United Square while the third is going to open in Changi Airport Terminal 1 transit soon.

Compare to the other fried chicken chains, the fried chicken at Texas Chicken was less oily. However I thought the chicken lacked the fragrance in their seasoning. The biscuit was nice. I preferred theirs to Popeye. Their biscuit was the hard type while Popeye's was soft inside. The coleslaw and mashed potatoes sides were norm while the mashed potatoes had a buttery taste.

Fried Chicken with Biscuit 3.5/5

Coleslaw 3.5/5

Mashed Potatoes 3.5/5

Swensen's Restaurant @ City Square Mall

If you noticed, a lot of restaurants started to serve breakfast on their menu nowadays. Now you can find so called "angmo" or western breakfast easily in the morning. A good change from the usual Asian breakfast that we usually have at hawker centres or coffeeshops.

The breakfast set at Swensen came with a free coffee/tea and a fruit juice. Breakfast was nice except for the scrambled eggs which was on the dry side.

Country Style Pancakes Set 3.8/5

Sunny Side Up Eggs 4/5
