Good news for our Muslim friends, A&W Restaurant Singapore is now officially halal certified! Both A&W Singapore’s outlets at Jewel Changi Airport and AMK Hub have been certified halal by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).

The Halal certification guarantee & assures that all A&W Singapore’s products, preparation method and source of ingredients are in compliance with the Islamic doctrine.

After opening at Jewel Changi Airport, A&W Singapore opened a second outlet at AMK Hub in July 2019 and there will be a new outlet at Canberra Plaza.

The wait is finally over, our Muslim friends can now enjoy their favourite root beer float, waffles and curly fries.

Let’s hope that A&W Singapore will be adding more outlets in Singapore next year.

If you’re fed up with the disgustingly long queues at Jewel Changi Airport’s A&W Singapore outlet, we have fantastic news for you. A&W will be opening a second branch at Ang Mo Kio’s AMK Hub by July 2019!

The new space will be a spanking 2,812 sq ft big and will be able to accommodate up to 142 diners, which is almost twice as much as the Jewel Changi Airport outlet. Hopefully, this means that there will be shorter queues for our favourite root beer floats and Golden Aroma Chicken! 

There are also plans for A&W to submit its application for halal-certification to the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), which is great news for our Muslim friends. A third outlet is also expected to be open by 2020 and we already can’t wait for that to happen! 

Consecutively awarded the ‘World’s Best Airport’ for its sixth year in 2018—the first time in the history of the awards—, Changi Airport dubs itself as ‘an airport worthy of being a destination in itself’ for good reason. 

Jewel Changi Airport will be Singapore Changi Airport’s newest addition and unmistakably one of the most highly-anticipated openings in our city. Opening on 17 April 2019, this complex will house some of the world’s biggest f&b brands such as popular American burger franchise Shake Shack, A&W and London’s famous Burger & Lobster.

Before the official opening, a public preview will be held from 11 to 16 April 2019 for everyone to have a sneak peek. A total of about 500,000 free tickets will be available and it will run in four three-hour time blocks from 10am to 10pm daily.

The 14,000 sq m Canopy Park—located on the top floor of Jewel Changi Airport—is not available and it will be open to the public only in the middle of the year.

Here’s what you can expect to find in Jewel Changi Airport!

The 10-storey complex will cover a gross floor area of 134,000 meters square and will comprise a whole range of play attractions for both kids and adults alike, a variety of popular restaurants and retail brands.

To date, more than 90% of their retail space has already been occupied by big brands, including NYC’s famous Shake Shack and sportswear giant Nike. Whether you’re looking for international cuisines or local fare or even a place to sit down and sip on a pint of beer, this new mall has covered it all.

A&W

After having left our sunny shores 10 years ago, we thought that the popular American fast food chain A&W will be gone for good. Good news to fans of their famous root beer float, waffles and curly fries—A&W will be re-opening in Singapore as one of the tenants in Jewel Changi Airport!

BURGER & LOBSTER

Those who have travelled to London should be familiar with Burger & Lobster, London’s famous lobster roll restaurant. Known for its rustic yet luxurious concept, the brand’s Singapore outpost will include new dishes that are inspired by local flavours, alongside their signature lobster rolls and burgers.
