Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen @ Novena Square 2

A few years back Popeyes Fried Chicken can only be found at Changi Airport. Now the fried chicken chain has expanded its business and my new outlets have opened in different parts of Singapore. Among the four fried chicken restaurants in Singapore (Popeyes, KFC, Arnold and Texas), Popeyes is my favourite.

Popeyes has opened another new outlet at Novena Square 2 mall. I have the 2 pieces chicken meal which came with a biscuit, a side, a drink and 2 pieces of chicken. Enjoyed the taste and crispness of the chicken skin as well as the tender chicken meat which was not too oily. Popeyes fried chicken still retains its pole position in my fried chicken list.

Dessert Story @ Serangoon NEX

There are more and more dessert chains in Singapore. One of them is Dessert Story. Their dessert story dated back to 2006 from a humble stall in Hougang. They have expanded and went into franchise business with chains opening up at different corners of Singapore.

The original stores were known as “Anytime Food ” and the very first store was birthed on August 2006 at Hougang. It serves great tasting Traditional Chinese Dessert (or “Tong Shui” as it is known in Cantonese) and has built up a large base of loyal customers.(source from Dessert Story website)

I have yet to try their cold dessert but for the hot dessert they were quite good. I tried both the Yam Paste and Tang Yuan dessert. For the Yam Paste, it came with gingko nuts and pumpkin which balanced the sweetness.

For the Tang Yuan, I ordered both the sesame and peanut tang yuan with peanut soup. It was a triple enjoyment tasting all the 3 different flavours. I like the concept of using peanut soup with the tang yuan instead of just eating them plainly.
