Arnold’s Fried Chicken in Hougang Green Shopping Mall

Arnold’s Fried Chicken, I have read/heard this name umpteen times be it online or with friends who say that they are the Singapore’s answer to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).

Lao Beng happened to be around Hougang Green Shopping Mall and decided to check out the Arnold’s Fried Chicken outlet there. Like KFC, Arnold’s Fried Chicken has Halal certification as well.

The moment I entered, I noticed that the ordering counter was directly on my left. I took a quick browse and settled on a two piece meal at $6.60.

A pager was given to me and I sat near the pick up counter.

Unlike KFC where the fried chicken will be served immediately upon ordering, Arnold’s Fried Chicken requires a waiting time.

Which means they will only fry the chicken after you have ordered, this is a big plus to me.

After people gazing for about five minutes, my pager buzzed and I went to pick up my order.

In addition to the two pieces of chicken were fries and coleslaw, the fries were rather crispy and not so salty and the coleslaw was pretty standard.

I started attacking the fried chicken, tore out the crispy bits and put them aside.

The piping hot fried chicken were well fried and tasted tender and juicy. The skin is thin but crisply delicious.

Basically, the chicken has a homely taste. It does not have the strong herbs and spices taste of Kentucky Fried Chicken but it tasted like a honest piece of chicken without too much “makeup” (spices).
